In a photo posted on Ate Gay’s Facebook account last Sunday, the comedian was teary-eyed while lying on what looked like a hospital bed. The comedian then wrote three praying hand emojis and hearts.
Ate Gay’s family was asking for prayers from the comedian’s fans for his fast and continuous recovery.
