Comedian and filmmaker AY Makun has spoken about the recent drama surrounding music star Innocent “2Baba” Idibia. This comes after 2Baba apologised publicly for his comments about men and monogamy. His words sparked controversy, especially involving his new partner, Natasha Osawaru.

In his post, AY defended 2Baba and said his apology showed rare honesty from a man going through emotional stress. He wrote, “It’s always easy to cast the first stone at the supposed offender. No one pauses to ask him the most human question, ‘Are you okay?’ And when they do, it’s rarely without an agenda. No one really cares.”

AY Makun added that he saw a man taking responsibility for his words even while under pressure. “I just saw a man under duress taking accountability for his actions. Not because he’s perfect, but because he’s human.”

He also talked about how society expects men to hide their pain and stay strong. He said, “As men, we’re raised to suffer in silence. Whether we’re right or wrong, we’re told to ‘man up.’ Even when we finally speak, it rarely ends well. We’re blamed. Misunderstood. Dismissed. Our vulnerability doesn’t protect us. it exposes us. Na who them catch? Na, him be thief.”

2Baba’s apology came after his interview where he said men are not built to be with only one woman. His statement caused strong reactions, and he later apologised to Natasha for his words. Many people think his comment may have hurt her feelings, which led to his public apology.

AY’s words show his support for 2Baba during this tough time. For him, the singer’s apology was not about being right or wrong. It was about being human enough to own up to his actions and speak honestly, even when it is hard.
