Popular Nigerian comedian and actor Mr. Macaroni has finally broken his silence after veteran comedian Seyi Law boldly claimed credit for launching his career. Seyi Law had taken to X to recall how Macaroni allegedly approached him for help during his mother’s birthday celebration back in January 2020.
According to Seyi Law, it was at that family event — after some persuasion from his cousin, ToluTheJesusBaby — that he met Macaroni, gave him a platform, and even wrote the skit that supposedly shot him to fame. The revelation instantly stirred reactions online!
“I wrote this script for him and went ahead to act with him, and like they say, the rest is history. Many skit makers benefited from my benevolence by using my voice, where I shouted, “Yeeee! Yeeeee!!” in their skits without royalty payment. “Kundus” to them for their massive success.”
Mr. Macaroni fired back with receipts — dropping chat screenshots to prove Seyi Law actually reached out first and the skit idea was mutual teamwork!
He wrote, “Ehya Uncle Seyi, you shouldn’t be doing this to yourself. I am ashamed that you are doing this and it breaks my heart that I also have to respond to you this way to correct some of these unnecessary lies.
“Firstly, I never asked your cousin to reach out to you on my behalf. How could he have brought me to ask for your support in 2020 when it was you who reached out to me in December 2019 telling me you had an idea that would do so well if we worked on it together.
“Contrary to your claim that you agreed to support me when Tolu brought me to your Mom’s birthday in January 2020, you invited me yourself for the birthday celebration and I honored you with my presence.”
“Bear in mind that I was already a viral sensation at this time with the daddy wa contents having almost 100,000 followers which is why you reached out with the idea.
“I don’t deny that collaborating with you on that content was a big deal for me for which i showed love and respect and reciprocated when you also called upon me to help you promote your show”, he added.
