Nollywood comedian and filmmaker AY Makun has once again set the internet ablaze after a video emerged of him blowing kisses at May Edochie during what appeared to be a behind-the-scenes shoot at an event in Manchester, United Kingdom. The clip, posted on Instagram, was filmed inside a grand hall with tall columns and arched ceilings, while crew members and guests dressed in white were visible in the background.
Playful Gesture Sparks Wave of Reactions
AY's gesture toward May, the estranged wife of actor Yul Edochie, was all it took to send Nigerian social media into a frenzy. Given the very public nature of May Edochie's split from her husband following his controversial second marriage, any interaction involving her tends to attract significant attention. AY Makun, known as much for his sharp wit as his films, appears to have leaned into that attention, and his fans loved every second of it.
The reactions poured in almost immediately, with many commenters tagging Yul Edochie, joking about blood pressure spikes, and hailing May as a "queen." The comment section under the viral video became a playground of memes and witty remarks, as Nigerians weighed in on the chemistry between the comedian and May.

AY Makun's History of Controversy
This is not the first time AY Makun has found himself at the center of online buzz. The comedian, known for his stand-up comedy specials and blockbuster movies like Merry Men, is no stranger to drawing attention with his public persona. His ability to blend humor with everyday situations has earned him a massive following, but also a reputation for stirring the pot.
The video has also reignited discussions about May Edochie's relationship with the entertainment world. Since her split from Yul Edochie, May has remained a figure of public sympathy and admiration. Her composed demeanor in public appearances has earned her the title "queen" among fans, a sentiment echoed in the comments under AY's post.
AY's Thoughts on Solitude
In related news, Legit.ng reported that AY Makun recently shared his thoughts on the value of solitude, even as his ex-wife, Mabel Makun, marked her 40th birthday with a glamorous celebration. While the birthday buzz filled social media, AY took to his Instagram story to reflect on being alone. He posted a meme featuring actor Tom Hardy with the quote: "Being alone for a while is dangerous. It's addictive. Once you see how peaceful it is, you don't even want to deal with people anymore."
This introspective post added another layer to AY's public persona, showing a more contemplative side to a man often regarded as the life of the party. It also sparked its own share of reactions, with followers interpreting the quote as a subtle commentary on his personal life following his separation from Mabel.
Impact on Nigerian Entertainment Culture
The viral nature of AY's video highlights the intense scrutiny that comes with being a public figure in Nigeria, especially when personal lives intersect with entertainment drama. The incident underscores how quickly a seemingly innocent gesture can transform into a national talking point, driving engagement across platforms like Instagram, X, and TikTok.
For May Edochie, the video serves as another reminder of the ongoing public interest in her life post-divorce. For AY, it reinforces his status as a master of staying relevant, whether through his comedy, films, or moments that capture the imagination of the Nigerian public.
As the comments continue to roll in, one thing is clear: AY Makun knows how to keep the internet talking, and May Edochie remains a beloved figure whose every move is watched and celebrated.
