My prefix is pretty clever and funny
My infix can sit, though not on his ass,
My suffix is owned by someone,
though not by me, by a bonny lass.
What am I?

Using @Cashbee's Prefix, are you:
Withers
Prefix:
WIT
Infix:
From @Cashbee: 'IT' people have desk jobs so they can sit all day, but not on their ass - as in they always have plenty of work to do.
Suffix:
HERS (owned by a girl = it's hers)
Title:
When something withers, it fades away.

1$\begingroup$ I was about to post exactly the same answer. I too have no idea what the infix is about $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 12, 2018 at 8:50

2$\begingroup$ my best guess for infix is rot13('GU' fgnaqf sbe gnoyr urnqre (UGZY), juvpu fvgf nobir n gnoyr.) I doubt this is it though.. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 12, 2018 at 9:02

Are you
Whitney Houston?
My prefix is pretty clever and funny
WIT
My infix can sit, though not on his ass,
KNEE (can kneel, which is some sort of sitting)
My suffix is owned by someone,
YOU
though not by me, by a bonny lass.
?
Together:
Wit-knee you-????? is homophone with the start of the name of Whitney Houston, a bonny lass.

This is my guess, inspired by @Cashbee's prefix.
Are you
withering?
Prefix
WIT
Infix
HER (because she can sit, but not on his ass. Though, "she" would fit better :( )
Suffix
RING (since rings are typically a female accessory. Or maybe, you in particular don't own a ring, while definitely some "bonny lass" does)
Are Rileys Fading Away?
= Are Rileys Withering?
