Seun Kuti mocks AY Makun while reacting to Bovi’s skit about him
Afrobeats artist Seun Kuti responded to a skit performed by comedian Bovi by mocking comedian AY Makun. The skit, which portrays a negotiation with kidnappers for the release of abducted Nigerian celebrities, gained attention on social media.
In the video, Bovi is depicted bargaining for the release of various celebrities, offering millions of naira for some while humorously suggesting a lower amount, N250k, for Seun Kuti.
However, the kidnapper was dissatisfied with the sum and threatened to harm Seun if Bovi mentioned it again. Despite this, Bovi persistently repeated “250, 250” in jest, seemingly wishing for Seun’s demise.
During a recent Instagram live session, Seun Kuti commended Bovi for his cleverness and contrasted him with AY Makun, whom he sarcastically portrayed as lacking in comedic skill.
The musician was amused by Bovi’s creativity while shading AY Makun.
He said, “Oh, that Bovi skit, e no go better for Bovi. the guy no well, him be wan even do am for his show, him don tell me, Bovi is a funny guy, not like that other guy that is not funny. His name rhymes with Dakun, nowhere him no dey beg.”
