Popular comedian AY Makun has offered a thoughtful piece of advice for celebrities and public figures navigating life in the spotlight—especially when it comes to relationships with neighbours.
In a recent social media post, AY reflected on the challenges of living under public scrutiny, noting that fame often attracts a mix of reactions from those around you.
“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,” he wrote. “Choose your battles wisely.”
His message serves as a reminder that even in everyday environments, public figures must maintain emotional intelligence and discernment in dealing with people’s varying attitudes.
