I didn’t refer to your daughter as dog – Comedian AY addresses Seun Kuti, singer fires backs

<p>Comedian, Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, has denied portraying afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti’s daughter as a dog in his skit.</p>, <p>DAILY POST reported that Kuti recently revealed that he mocked AY when fire gutted his house because he portrayed his daughter as a dog in a skit video satirizing his altercation with a police officer on a highway.</p>, <p>Addressing Kuti’s allegations in a video message shared via his Instagram page in which he tagged the singer, AY explained that the dog in the back seat of his car in the skit video was a metaphor for Guinness World Record holder, Hilda Baci, who was trending then for eating dog meat.</p>, <p>He said, “Hello Seun, this is to address the sensationalism that’s been created around social media space. I decided to respond to this because you mentioned your child.</p>, <p>“I love children. So, the minute you referred to the skit I did addressing your baby as a dog, I just felt the need to address this. I’m one human being who looked for a child for 13 years. I don’t think I will find myself in the position to mock a child and refer to that child as a dog.</p>, <p>“Concerning the skit I made sometime in June, I want to categorically say that I’m a stand-up comedian. As stand-up comedians, we run social comments on different activities on trending issues. But I’ve come to understand that in Nigeria now people take comedians seriously and take the politicians as the jokers.</p>, <p>“If you’re familiar with my brand and style of comedy, AY Live, everything that you see I do, I do a lot of stage dramas and then we just talk about trending issues. Now, the skit was a reflection of trending issues. I talked about fuel subsidy which was trending at that time. And if recall, at that time Hilda Baci and Enioluwa were both trending for eating dog meat. And a woman called them out. And then I mentioned the name Hilda in the scene where the dog was sitting in the back seat of the car in the skit. That was what I was portraying in that video.”</p>, <p>AY said if anyone was suppo
