AY Threatens Lawsuit Against Juliet Ibrahim’s Marketer

Versatile Nigerian comedian, Ayo Makun better known as AY, is not happy with an alleged move by a film marketer to deceive consumers from buying their movies with a wrong title.

AY recently drew attention of fans to the movie produced by Ghanaian actress, Juliet Ibrahim titled 'The number 1 Fan,' which has been released, stating that the marketer allegedly changed the title to lure fans into buying it.

He claimed that the marketer changed the film title to 'Inspector AY.'

In his reaction, AY said, “I have recently discovered that a Nigerian movie marketer has resorted to fraudulent way to market his movie. The movie is actually titled 'The Number One Fan' but the marketer has chosen to rename the movie 'Inspector Ay' to deceive Nigerians into buying the movie.

“This is to formally disassociate myself and brand from the title being used to deceive Nigerians. I only acted as a supporting actor in the movie. But this marketer has chosen this deceptive means to market the movie.

“Please be rest assured that I plan to use all legal instruments available within the country's copyright laws to correct this illegality.”
