“I Am Ashamed For You,” Mr Macaroni Rebukes Seyi Law Over ‘Lie’ He Made Him Famous

Popular Nigerian comedian and skit maker, Mr Macaroni, has fired back at fellow comedian Seyi Law over claims that he played a pivotal role in launching his career.

Seyi Law had earlier taken to X (formerly Twitter) to recount how he allegedly helped Mr Macaroni gain popularity in the entertainment industry. According to him, Mr Macaroni was introduced to him by a cousin, and he later wrote a skit that “pushed him into the limelight.”

“I remember my cousin, #toluthejesusbaby, disturbed me several times to meet this young, talented Nigerian, and he brought him to my mother’s birthday in January 2020. I spoke with him, and I agreed to support his craft,” Seyi Law wrote.

He continued, “I wrote this script for him and went ahead to act with him, and as 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. Kudos to them for their massive success.”

But in a swift and strongly-worded response, Mr Macaroni dismissed the claim, labeling it as “unnecessary lies.” Sharing screenshots of past chats between the two, he clarified that it was Seyi Law who initially reached out to him in December 2019 with a collaborative idea—not the other way around.

“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,” Mr Macaroni began.

He continued, “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?”

Mr Macaroni further clarified that he had already gained traction online before the collaboration, stating: “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.”

He also revealed that he honored an invitation to Seyi Law’s mother’s birthday out of respect, not to ask for help. “You invited me yourself for the birthday celebration and I honored you with my presence,” he stated.

Despite acknowledging that their collaboration was significant at the time, Mr Macaroni emphasized that he had always reciprocated the support and even promoted Seyi Law’s shows when asked.
