"Watching his lifeless body right in front of me, I can honestly say that even in death, he looked peaceful. He looked like someone who had carried pain quietly for too long and finally found rest," AY said.
The comedian, who is an elder brother to Alexx's close associate Yomi Casual, revealed the late actor "never shared or disclosed issues concerning his health with any of us. And that is the part that should make all of us pause."
AY noted that aside from the happy and fancy lifestyle celebrities portray, many public figures were fighting battles in private.

"Some are battling sickness. Some are battling depression. Some are battling loneliness. Some are battling family issues. Some are battling the pressure of being judged by people who do not know them personally," he said.
The comedian compared Alexx, who reportedly fought stage four liver cancer, with movie star Chadwick Boseman, who gave his best in the hit movie Black Panther while privately battling colon cancer.
"Sammie Okposo faced public shame and personal battles before his sudden passing. Caroline Flack became a global reminder of how public humiliation and online cruelty can break a human being. The painful truth is this: we do not always know what people are carrying," AY said.
The comedian also criticised people who turn people's pain and challenges into social media entertainment.

"Someone may be trying to hustle just to stay alive, while we use their pain to catch cruise. Science may not say trolling causes cancer, but we know that constant stress, humiliation, depression and emotional pressure can worsen a person’s health, break their spirit, run into their shadows and make their private battles even harder to fight," he said.
He advised netizens to rethink the comments they share about celebrities on social media during their tough moments.
