Nigerian Comedian and Estranged Star Wife Stay in the Spotlight
Nigerian comedian Ayo Makun (AY) and May Edochie, the estranged wife of actor Yul Edochie, are once again at the center of public debate as their close friendship continues to attract scrutiny.
The conversation reignited after AY shared a heartfelt video of himself with May on Instagram, describing her as a “wonderful human” and offering prayers for her peace, joy, and blessings.
“Wishing you joy, peace, and every blessing today and always. You are truly a wonderful human, and I celebrate you,” AY wrote in the post, which quickly went viral.
Public Praise Fuels Speculation
May has also openly expressed admiration for AY. Back in August, during his birthday celebration, she described him as a “phenomenal achiever” and prayed for wisdom and excellence in his journey.
These public exchanges of praise have only intensified ongoing discussions about their bond. For some fans, it is a show of mutual respect. For others, it is fuel for suspicions that their relationship goes beyond friendship.
Rumors, Rejections, and Legal Battles
Speculation about a possible romantic link between AY and May first gained traction after her separation from Yul Edochie. Unconfirmed reports even alleged marriage plans, which AY firmly denied.
The rumors resurfaced earlier this year following reports of AY’s own marital troubles. In January, the comedian filed a petition with the police against a rumor peddler, accusing them of spreading “defamatory statements” that could damage his reputation.
The AI Photo Controversy
Adding fuel to the fire, AI-generated images of AY and May kissing circulated online earlier this year. The comedian condemned the creators of the doctored photos, urging them to use their skills to uplift Nigeria rather than spread false narratives.
He also highlighted the broader issue of cyberbullying, referencing the harassment actress Alex Unusual endured after being falsely linked to him. According to AY, such online attacks leave lasting scars on people’s lives.
A Bond Rooted in Shared Struggles
Despite the gossip, AY and May’s connection is also grounded in moments of genuine support. The comedian and his family stood by her during her separation from Yul and after the heartbreaking loss of her son.
When May celebrated her birthday last year, AY and his family hosted a private dinner in her honor. She later appeared in his movie The Waiter, further strengthening their professional and personal ties.
A Divided Audience
While some fans celebrate the pair’s relationship as a friendship born from empathy, resilience, and shared challenges, others remain convinced that there is more beneath the surface.
What is clear is that public fascination with AY and May shows no signs of fading. Their every interaction sparks conversation, leaving many to wonder:
👉 Is this simply a story of friendship or something more?
