Popular Nigerian comedian, Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, has shared an emotional tribute following the death of Nollywood actor Alex Ekubo.
According to reports Alex Ekubo passed away on Monday, May 11, 2026, at a hospital in Lagos after battling cancer for a long time.
The actor was diagnosed with stage four liver cancer in 2024 and reportedly underwent a liver transplant during his treatment journey.
Reacting to the heartbreaking loss through an Instagram post, AY revealed that he was present during the actor’s final moments. The comedian disclosed that despite his condition, Alex was still smiling before he passed away.
Expressing his grief, AY wrote:
“Some losses do not feel real no matter how many times you try to process them. Still struggling with the reality that you are gone, Alex.
From the laughter to the conversations, the random moments, the brotherhood, and all the memories we shared in this industry. This one hurts deeply.
I was there. I saw you still smiling even in death. I saw the tears from friends and family. And honestly, a part of me is still in shock. Rest well my brother. You will be remembered beyond the lights, the cameras, and the fame.”
