Renowned Nigerian comedian and filmmaker, Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, has unveiled his newly reconstructed mansion in Lekki two years after a fire ravaged the original structure.
In a heartfelt video shared on his Instagram page on Wednesday, AY gave fans a glimpse into the emotional journey from loss to restoration.
The video featured a powerful montage of the burnt ruins juxtaposed with views of the luxurious new home, complete with marble floors, sweeping staircases, and a sophisticated blend of modern and Afrocentric design elements.
Narrating over the visuals, AY reflected on the trials he has faced since the incident.
“Two years ago today, everything went up in flames my home, my peace, my comfort zone. That was just the beginning. I’ve faced betrayal, lies, and storms that tried to erase everything I built.
But I’m still here not because I’m lucky, but because God is faithful. The grave is louder than gossip, and purpose doesn’t burn in fire. They still plot and talk, but while they walk in darkness, I walk in light. Every setback was a setup for something greater.
Thank you, God, for beauty after ashes.”
The fire, which occurred in 2023, left the comedian’s home in ruins and forced his family to relocate temporarily. In the aftermath, fans, fellow entertainers, and colleagues across the industry offered overwhelming support.
Since revealing his rebuilt residence, AY has been met with an outpouring of congratulatory messages and well-wishes from admirers and supporters on social media.
