Nigerian comedian and filmmaker Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, sparked a flurry of reactions online with a heartfelt birthday post for his 17-year-old ‘son’. AY took to his Instagram page to share a photo of Denzel, accompanied by warm birthday wishes.
In his message, AY expressed his heartfelt prayers and love for Denzel, looking forward to seeing him soon. He wrote, “My son is 17. May each day be a step closer to your dreams, filled with the warmth of love and the thrill of new adventures. Happy birthday, Denzel. Daddy loves you. See you soon.”
@realhonour199 expressed concerns about Denzel’s appearance not resembling AY’s, questioning his parenting choices. Others, like @lynastipenda, questioned the parentage given AY’s longstanding marriage with Mabel Makun.
@houseofcampelrry pondered the definition of fatherhood, while @lizzyberry22 speculated that Denzel could be AY’s nephew. @slimkiki sought clarification on Denzel’s parentage, emphasizing AY’s known children, Michael and Ayomide.
@officialbigv brushed off the skepticism, implying that not everything online is as it seems. Meanwhile, @albumjayjay suggested joining in the celebration rather than questioning, with an explanation promised at a later date.
@adekaz87 called out what they deemed as unnecessary criticism, encouraging others to simply wish Denzel a happy birthday.
The diverse reactions highlight the complexities of social media and familial relationships, with many offering well-wishes while others sought clarification.
