Legit.ng earlier reported that Mabel Makun caused a stir with a cryptic post she shared via her Instagram story on Thursday, June 18, 2026. According to Mabel, her silence doesn’t mean she has nothing valid to say.
In a post shared via her Instagram story after the burial of late Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo in Abia state, Mabel wrote:
“Never to put a question where God has put a full stop. Rest easy one of the most caring human ever."
She added in another post that her silence is not an admission of lack of a good response.
“Mama Dee always seeks God’s guidance and take care of yourself, no response needed. Truth be say, I get response but I no just know where to start from, hence the silence and withdrawal."
Recall that Mabel and her estranged husband, Comedian AY, tied the knot in 2008. They went public with their split in April 2024.
Legit.ng reported that Mabel Makun made headlines after she reverted to her maiden name, Nwanegbu, after their separation in 2024.
Mabel dropped the update after she shared a clip of herself showcasing her 40th birthday souvenirs on Thursday, April 9, 2026
