Actress, model and social media influencer, Alexandra Asogwa, better known as Alex Unusual, has said that she had left social media weeks before the rumours that she was impregnated by comedian, Ayodeji Makun, aka AY, went viral.
Speaking in an interview with Saturday Beats, she said, “I had left social media weeks before the AY pregnancy controversy went viral. I had other reasons, and I had no idea there was an issue. I heard about it just like everybody else. I was not even on social media. It was when it happened that a lot of people started looking for me. They ran to my social media pages and noticed I had left. Then, some people started spreading different stories. That is how the media works, and if I had started to bother about that, I won’t be able to live my life.”
She added, “I had other things I needed to focus on, and I needed to take a social media break. It was such a convenient time for what happened to happen and people decided to run with whatever news that made it more interesting. I really cannot be bothered about that.
“The news was actually funny to everyone, including AY, his wife, and my family. We were surprised, because it made no sense. I was not sure how that story came to be, but I just feel like when people see that one is a good person, it feels too good to be true. So, it is very easy for them to feel like they can dent one’s image just because one is good. But, nobody is perfect; and not everyone is bad.”
Speaking on how she felt about the separation between AY and his wife, Alex said, “I don’t even know what caused their break up, and I don’t have any comment on their marriage. I am cool with both of them, and we don’t have any issues. I am sure they were just as surprised as I was that I was in the midst of all that. Again, the Internet cooks up stories for traffic, and that’s okay. They could use anybody’s name; but if my name brings them traffic, that’s all right.”
