Celebrity comedian Ayo Makun, also known as AY, surprised his 13.2 million Instagram fans on his birthday by sharing pictures of a little child named Denzel.
The comedian, who referred to him as his son, celebrated the teenager’s 17th birthday on Sunday.
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.”
Shortly after the post, the comments section became inundated with questions about AY’s relationship with Denzel, as many pondered when and how the comedian became a father to a 17-year-old boy.
A follower named Slimkiki Udeme wrote;
“Oga you need to explain better oo please your son from which woman? Because as far as I know it’s only Michael and Ayomide that are your kids so this son is from where? Meanwhile happy birthday son of God”
Contrary to widespread belief, the 17-year-old boy is not AY’s biological son but his nephew.
Denzel is the son of AY Makun’s sister, Moranike Ebimami, who had already celebrated the boy two days before AY posted his picture on Instagram.
“Denzel May this year bring you growth, joy, and the realization of your dreams. You make my heart proud every day!”
“Wishing the most incredible 17-year-old son a fantastic birthday! Your strength and kindness light up my world. Enjoy your day my pride,” Moranike wrote.
