Ace comedian and actor, Ayo Makun, also known simply as AY, on Thursday said popularity is not an adequate measurement of a celebrity’s wealth.

The comedian, in an Instagram post he tagged: SHOWBIZ SECRETS 101, noted that fans’ often assume a famous celebrity is a wealthy celebrity.

He advised fans to look beyond the glamour of showbiz and no that entertainers need help too.

Describing those in showbiz as mannequins, the 47-year-old comedian wrote,

“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 sample 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.
