Popular Nigerian actress Omotunde Sogunle, widely loved as Motunde in Mr. Macaroni’s comedy skits, has revealed how a shocking false pregnancy scandal once left her deeply heartbroken. In a recent interview, Omotunde recounted how she was falsely accused of being pregnant for her on-screen father, Mr. Macaroni, with outrageous rumors even alleging that she terminated the pregnancy. She described the claims as both baseless and devastating, leaving her shaken at the time.
However, Omotunde explained that she has since healed from the painful experience and now even laughs about it with Mr. Macaroni himself. She noted that one of the greatest lessons she has learned from the comedian is the power of silence — choosing not to react when people spread false narratives, because defending yourself often makes things worse.
The actress further revealed that the scandal made her tougher, wiser, and more cautious about handling controversies in the entertainment industry. Despite the challenges, Motunde has continued to soar, growing her fan base and cementing her place as one of the most-loved faces in Nigerian comedy skits.
“They said I was pregnant for my on-screen daddy, Mr. Macaroni, and that I aborted it. I was stunned. When did that happen? That can never be possible. Why must people assume there’s something beyond work in a professional relationship? At that time, I was really devastated,” she recalled.
