I didn’t hijack Easter Sunday date from you, AY Comedian fires back at colleague, Julius Agwu, threatens lawsuit
Popular Nigerian comedian, Ayo Makun, otherwise known as AY, has responded to allegations made against him by his colleague Julius Agwu in a recent interview.
During the interview with Naija FM a few days ago, Julius Agwu accused AY of hijacking his Easter Sunday date for his show.
He recalled calling AY to request a rescheduling of his yearly Easter Sunday comedy show, AY Live, because it coincided with his own event, Laugh for Christ’s Sake.
According to him, Easter Sunday was the day he held his Laugh for Christ’s Sake comedy show for years, and he was surprised that AY chose the same date for his show.
He claimed AY blatantly refused and hung up on him.
Reacting to the accusations, in a lengthy post on his Instagram page, AY, with proof, denied hijacking the date from Julius Agwu and threatened to take legal action against him.
“The truth remains the only ultimate power to downplay all the lies in a place where the INTERNET NEVER FORGETS. Dear senior colleague Julius Agwu, my question is, how is it even possible to lay claims to the fact that i took over your Easter Sunday date with the following verifiable facts..
“Slide 2
Confirms that Laff 4 Christ Sake stopped in 2009 and only came back on October 23rd, 2011. The same year I did AY Live on Workers Day May 1st (which obviously was not on Easter Sunday).
Slide 3
Confirms Laff 4 Christ Sake happening in London on Easter Sunday, April 8th, 2012. (I am here wondering how you intended to do both London and Nigeria the same day).
“Slide 4
Confirms Laff 4 Christ Sake happening in Port Harcourt on Good Friday, March 29th, 2013 (and not on Easter Sunday).”
“Slide 5
Confirms Julius D Genius Agwu performing at AY Live on Easter Sunday, March 31st, 2013. (which I believed would have been an issue if I truly ever cut a call on senior colleague who holds claim the same date)“Slides 6 &7
“Confirms our cordial relationship as family friends after my Easter show in 2013 (I’m still wondering at what point I cut a call on you for us to still see ourselvesas families)”. AY wrote in part.
