Nigerian comedian, Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY Comedian and his estranged wife, Mabel, are reportedly embroiled in a custody battle over their second child.
It can be recalled that Rephrase, Ayo and Mabel separated earlier this year after 20 years of marriage. AY himself shared the news on the internet, noting that he could no longer entertain public opinion about his personal family issues.
According to a report by investigative blogger and journalist, Stella Dimoko Korkus, Mabel has denied AY access to their second child following their separation.
Stella Dimoko Korkus disclosed, citing close associates of the estranged couple, that AY violated an agreement by contacting his daughter through her nanny’s phone.
The investigative journalist reported that Mabel overheard AY speaking to their daughter via the nanny’s phone, prompting her to destroy the phone and dismiss the nanny.
According to Stella, the custody battle between AY and his ex-partner, Mabel, has escalated, with Mabel adamantly refusing to grant AY access to their daughter.

thashoeboss.ng said, “This life is just somehow sha… To think that they both wanted this baby for years until God showed them mercy and blessed them with her. Only for their marital woes to be stressing the same baby up and down now. Life is just somehow..”
lymphaticdrainagebybrenda said, “Maybe the child is not his sha. Cos only a mother knows the real father of her children.”
yvonne_bigbrother_titans said, “Why will he cut a deal with the baby’s Nanny behind the wife’s back? It would have been better he went through family court than trying to go through back door. I will deal with that nanny if I were Mabel. Everytime fighting for children, that small baby is now talking??? So the nanny will be giving him information about Mabel and her moves.
