Popular Nigerian comedian, AY Makun, has shared a short message for those who are well-known and live among regular people. He spoke about the challenges that come with being famous, especially when it comes to living in a regular neighbourhood.
Using his social media page, AY said that when you’re in the spotlight, you will receive both good and bad energy from the people around you. Some neighbours may admire you, while others may feel jealous or treat you differently.
His message seemed like a gentle reminder to other public figures that fame brings attention, and not all of it will be positive. AY’s advice encourages others to stay calm and wise when dealing with people who don’t like them for no clear reason.
According to him:
“Living as a public figure in a neighbourhood, you’ll meet two types of people: those genuinely happy for you and proud to call you a neighbour, and others who dislike your success and try to make you feel small. Choose your battles wisely.”
