Nigerian award-winning comedian and filmmaker Ayo Makun, or AY, has called out actor Deyemi Okanlawon for bullying him.
Taking to his Instagram page, he noted how bullying has always been around, and there will always be people like Deyemi who thrive on it. He noted how, despite being ten years older than Deyemi, he wouldn’t let him be. He noted how Deyemi is always competing with him on almost everything, from his movie-making over 100m in the cinemas to who is finer to asking the director to reduce his fight scenes to shine more as the hero.
Ayo admitted that Deyemi has more chest and more breasts, but he doesn’t believe he is finer than him. The father of two urged his fans to judge responsibly.
“Bullying has always been around, and there will always be people like @deyemitheactor who thrive on it. This young man that I am over 10 years his senior wouldn’t let me be on the set of #Thewaiter. Always competing with me on almost everything. From his movie making over 100m in the cinemas to who is finer. Even to him asking the director @tokamcbaror to reduce my fight scenes just for him to shine more as the hero.
YES! I can agree that he has more chests. Sorry, sorry, I mean more breast more than me. But for this FINE matter I no gree.
They were other guys on the set like @buccifranklin, @iamnino_b @kunleremiofficial, @williamsuchemba, @chrisattoh, @thintalltony, @daniellloyd101, @boma and many more that I will not compete with. So, guys, be the judge here.

Reacting to it via his comment section, Deyemi apologised to him as he stated that he didn’t want to stress him on set.
“Egbon no vex. I just say make we no too stress you for set as you be eldërly person”.
In other news, Ayo Makun shared a deep message on the detriment of social media, which he compared to the new King Kong, where feelings are now more important than objective facts. He noted how a foolish person gets praised when he says something the audience likes, but when a wise man says something contrary, he gets persecuted.
Speaking on the funny part of social media, he stated that people carry their ignorance with a lot of class and confidence based on what they see or feel.
The comedian also shared a deep message on the importance of peace, which he stated can only be achieved through coexistence. He revealed that he has learned how to quit contractions and start construction, and added that when one stops expecting people to be perfect, they can like them for who they are.
