Nigerian comedian and actor AY Makun has addressed the controversy surrounding a doctored video that falsely depicted him kissing May Edochie, the estranged wife of actor Yul Edochie. The video, which has been confirmed to be manipulated, has sparked widespread discussions online, with many condemning the spread of false narratives.
AY Calls Out Those Behind the Misinformation
Taking to his social media page, AY expressed frustration over the incident, calling out those responsible for trying to tarnish his reputation. He referenced a previous situation involving Alex, suggesting that this was not the first time individuals had attempted to create controversy around people associated with him.
“The other time, it was poor Alex. Must you chase away everyone working with me?” AY wrote, questioning the motives behind the attack and the repeated attempts to stir up unnecessary drama in his personal and professional life.
The Dangers of Digital Manipulation
The rise of deepfake technology and video manipulation has become a growing concern, particularly for public figures. AY’s experience highlights how easily false narratives can be created and spread, potentially damaging reputations and causing unnecessary misunderstandings.
Public Reactions and Support
Following AY’s statement, many fans and colleagues in the entertainment industry have shown their support, calling for action against the creators of the fake video. Several people have condemned the spread of misinformation and emphasized the need for social media users to verify content before believing or sharing it.
May Edochie Remains Silent on the Issue
As of now, May Edochie has not made any public comments regarding the manipulated video. However, many of her supporters have also denounced the false clip, calling it a deliberate attempt to stir controversy.
Legal Action Against Digital Defamation?
With the growing prevalence of online misinformation, legal experts have pointed out that AY Makun and May Edochie have the right to take legal action against those responsible for creating and distributing the video. Digital defamation and cyber harassment are punishable offenses in many jurisdictions, and this case could set an example for others spreading false content.
