Comedian and actor AY Makun has offered a word of wisdom for public figures navigating everyday life particularly when it comes to relationships with their neighbours.

In a recent social media post, the entertainer reflected on the mixed reactions celebrities often receive within their communities.

“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. Choose your battles wisely,” he wrote.
