Popular Nigerian comedian Ayo Makun, often known as AY, has responded to recent charges made by his colleague Julius Agwu in an interview.

In an interview with Naija FM a few days ago, Agwu claimed that AY had taken over his Easter Sunday performance date for his own show and hung up on him when he called to talk to him about it.

AY responded to the accusations by posting a comment on his Instagram page. The movie’s producer said that Agwu had asked for AY Live to be moved because it conflicted with his annual Laugh for Christ’s Sake comedy concert, which is held on Easter Sunday. AY, however, refuted Agwu’s assertion that he plainly rejected and hung up on him and even provided evidence to back up his allegation.

The director voiced his dissatisfaction with the claims in the long answer and vowed to sue Agwu. He said that he did not purposefully steal Agwu’s date, and he offered proof to refute the accusations.

“The truth remains the only ultimate power to downplay all the lies in a place where the Internet never forgets. Dear senior colleague Julius Agwu, my question is, how is it even possible to lay claims to the fact that i took over your Easter Sunday date with the following verifiable facts..

“Slide 2: Confirms that Laff 4 Christ Sake stopped in 2009 and only came back on October 23rd, 2011. The same year I did AY Live on Workers Day May 1st (which obviously was not on Easter Sunday).

Slide 3: Confirms Laff 4 Christ Sake happening in London on Easter Sunday, April 8th, 2012. (I am here wondering how you intended to do both London and Nigeria the same day).

“Slide 4: Confirms Laff 4 Christ Sake happening in Port Harcourt on Good Friday, March 29th, 2013 (and not on Easter Sunday).”

“Slide 5: Confirms Julius D Genius Agwu performing at AY Live on Easter Sunday, March 31st, 2013. (which I believed would have been an issue if I truly ever cut a call on senior colleague who holds claim the same date)

“Slides 6 &7: Confirms our cordial relationship as family friends after my Easter show in 2013 (I’m still wondering at what point I cut a call on you for us to still see ourselvesas families)”. AY wrote in part.

Fans and members of the comedy world watched further developments in the continuing argument between these two Nigerian comedians as the situation developed.
