In the video's narration, AY stated: “Two years ago today, everything went up in flames: my home, my peace, my comfort zone. And that was just the beginning. I have seen betrayal, lies, and storms that tried to silence everything I built.
“But I am still here, not because I am lucky, but because God is faithful and grave is louder than gossip, and purpose doesn’t burn in fire.
“They still plot, talk, but while they walk in darkness, I walk in light, every setback was a setup for something greater Thank You God for beauty after ashes.”
The footage revealed the interior of the reconstructed property, which included marble flooring, huge staircases, and a mix of modern and Afrocentric design.
It should be noted that the fire at AY's Lekki mansion occurred two years ago, reducing the property and its contents to ruins.
The event forced the comedian and his family to relocate temporarily, prompting outpourings of support from fans, colleagues, and members of the entertainment business alike.
Following the inauguration of the refurbished property, AY received an outpouring of congratulations on social media.
