Netizens have called out AY Makun for being ‘childish’ following his recent post about his daughter hours after confirming rumours of marital crisis with his wife, Mabel.
The Nation reported that AY confirmed his marriage has hit the rocks but will not be entertaining the public with personal issues about his family.
The comedian admitted that he has found himself doing some things that he isn’t proud of, and it is sad to watch his marriage and friendship of 20 years slip away.
Amid his marital troubles, the thespian took to his Instagram page to share a video collage of his beautiful 15-year-old daughter and captioned it, “Benefits…”
However, the post did not sit well with many Nigerians, as some warned AY against weaponising his children following the crash of his marriage to Mabel.
Some stated that his post reeks of pride and arrogance, while urging him to do better.

“Sharing life with someone is a greatest privilege to have in this lifetime, your daughter has the right to her privacy and exposing her in this moment is rather not a very wise choice. Respect her privacy and her keep her out of this, she would prefer her parents together I’m sure, don’t weaponize your child terming her “benefits” the whole world knows she is, don’t just name it, a responsible man should stomach his pride in such a moment and refrain from any actions that will cause more lashing out and further exposing his family to public debate.”
aghogho_mena argued: “Benefit” of the 20 years relationship. Your caption ricks of pride and ignorance. You benefited so every other thing can roast. Perhaps your ex wife is with the baby reason for you to post and daughter “benefit” Apparently you have shared the kids. Michelle is your gain and the baby is your ex wife’.. Do better you be Ose”

adeyinkadayo stated: “This ins€nsitive post might just start the beginning of the so-called mental trauma for this beautiful angel, though the father said he was avoiding that to happen.”

Of Course we all know what you were referring to… If it’s all you benefited from the 20 years of marriage then you never loved and valued your wife. This is outright disrespect. Marriage is beyond child benefit. It’s lifetime respect, value and oneness…. Your post is out of order sir or the timing is wrong…. You can do better…. May you all find a reason to settle. Love and light”
twist_gender argued: “You care about her mental health and you have that caption there sir?”
