Comedian and actor Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, has raised questions about a manipulated video showing him and May Edochie kissing on a plane.

Photos of AY and May on the plane were manipulated to create a video that falsely depicted them kissing.

In a statement shared on social media addressing the fake video, AY questioned why content creators are trying to chase away everyone he collaborates with through fabricated reports.

He recounted how some people destroyed Alex Asogwa’s reputation with lies and now they are attempting to do the same with May Edochie.

AY urged content creators to use their talent for good rather than evil.

He wrote, "As the future leaders and change-makers of Nigeria, I urge you to channel your immense creative talents toward building a better nation rather than tearing each other down.

Nigeria is rich with potential, and your unique skills—be it in art, music, technology, or entrepreneurship—can be pivotal in driving positive change. Instead of using your creativity to undermine those who are working hard to improve their lives and contribute to society, let’s focus on uplifting one another.

It’s essential to recognize that every action has consequences. When we choose to sabotage others, we only perpetuate a cycle of negativity and destruction. At what point will we realize that unity and collaboration will yield far greater results than division? The other time, it was the poor @alex_unusual who is yet to come out of all the lies and narratives meted out on her person for choosing to always be a support a family who were a major part of her brand growth. Must you all chase away everyone working with me or trying to earn an honest living through me?

Let’s come together to support one another’s hustles, celebrate our achievements, and inspire a culture of innovation and respect. The future of Nigeria depends on our collective efforts to foster an environment where everyone can thrive.

Remember, your talents can be a force for good. Let’s use them to build bridges just like @flyairpeace did by supporting #TheWaiterMovie, not walls."
