Nigerian comedian and filmmaker AY Makun has opened up about the importance of solitude, even as his ex-wife, Mabel Makun, celebrated her 40th birthday in a lavish style.
Mabel’s birthday party, which took place in March 2026, was attended by several Nollywood stars, including Kate Henshaw and Ruth Kadiri. The interior designer turned heads in a gold outfit and used the moment to pay tribute to her late mother. The event quickly went viral, drawing attention amid ongoing discussions about her separation from AY.
While the celebration dominated social media, AY shared a message on his Instagram story reflecting on being alone. He posted a meme featuring Tom Hardy with the quote:
“Being alone for a while is dangerous. It’s addictive. Once you see how peaceful it is, you don’t even want to deal with people anymore.”
The post stirred reactions online, with many seeing it as a subtle reflection of the peace and clarity he may have found after his split.
