Comedian and moviemaker AY Makun has hinted at a common misconception, saying that being a famous celebrity is often mistaken for wealth.
The 47-year-old funnyman disclosed this in an Instagram post on Thursday.
“SHOWBIZ SECRETS 101. Being famous is mostly mistaken for
serious wealth and riches by the people around entertainers. The more reason
they always get DMs from fans, or calls from friends and family asking for one
assistance or the other on a daily basis.
“Popularity is not an accurate measurement of a man’s worth in the face
showbiz. Many entertainers are like mannequins who samples your dream lives for
your entertainment pleasure. So always look beyond the cars they drive in the
movies, the beautiful houses in the music videos, and all the expensive clothes
that they put on to give you a perfect television picture. They are 100% human
with high maintenance realities that must match what you see on the big screen.
WE NEED HELP TOO,” he wrote.
This is not the first time AY Makun would give his thoughts on the state of the entertainment industry.
In December, he agreed with actor Kevin Ikeduba on the latter’s famous video where he called out Nollywood stars for living a fake life.
AY Makun shared his opinion of the Nigerian movie industry, citing the prevalence of rivalry and jealousy.
