Comedian and actor, AY Makun, has found himself at the center of a social media firestorm after he publicly slammed critics of music legend 2baba and his wife, Annie Idibia. The controversy erupted after AY’s comments on the ongoing backlash surrounding the couple.
In a scathing post that many interpreted as a direct response to online trolls, AY stated: “Culprit don drop quote,” implying that those criticizing the Idibias had been exposed or revealed for their hypocrisy. This remark, intended as a defense of the couple, quickly ignited a wave of backlash from social media users, who accused the comedian of defending “toxic behavior” in the entertainment industry.
Critics were quick to point out that 2baba and Annie have been embroiled in a series of public controversies in recent years, from infidelity rumors to public spats on social media. Some users argue that while the couple’s relationship should be respected, defending them without addressing the issues within their marriage could be seen as enabling problematic behavior.
Many took to Twitter and Instagram to express their discontent, calling out AY for what they deemed a “blind defense” of the Idibias. “AY, are you endorsing disrespect and lack of accountability in relationships?” one user wrote. Another added, “People need to stop enabling toxic celebrity marriages just because they’re famous.”
Others, however, came to AY’s defense, arguing that his intention was simply to show support for the couple amid the online harassment they have faced. “The constant bashing of Annie and 2baba is unnecessary. Everyone deserves peace,” a follower tweeted.
Despite the criticisms, AY has not backed down from his stance, posting a series of follow-up messages reaffirming his position on the matter. He stated: “If supporting those who are publicly scrutinized means standing by them, then I will continue to do so. Let’s not be quick to judge without knowing the full story.”
The incident has raised wider questions about the role of celebrities in defending their peers and the complexities of navigating personal relationships under the public eye. It remains to be seen whether the controversy will die down or continue to gain traction in the days ahead.
As the drama unfolds, fans and critics alike are left to question: Can the public ever truly understand the dynamics of celebrity marriages, or is it best to leave these matters out of the spotlight altogether?
