Afrobeats artist Seun Kuti took to Instagram live to mock comedian AY Makun while praising fellow comedian Bovi for a recent kidnapping-themed skit. The skit, which humorously portrayed celebrities negotiating for their release from kidnappers, featured Bovi offering varying amounts for different celebrities, including a lower sum for Him .
Seun Kuti, amused by Bovi’s creativity in the skit, openly praised him during an Instagram live session. However, the musician didn’t miss the opportunity to throw shade at AY Makun, sarcastically referring to him as “that other guy that is not funny” whose name rhymes with “Dakun” (a Yoruba term meaning “please”). Seun Kuti suggested that AY Makun had approached him to be part of a similar skit for his show but didn’t find him as amusing as Bovi.
The playful banter between Seun Kuti and the comedians adds a lighthearted touch to the entertainment industry, showcasing the camaraderie and occasional jesting that occurs among public figures in the creative space.
