Tensions are flaring in the comedy world as Mr Macaroni responds strongly to Seyi Law’s claim that he helped launch his career.
In a now viral post, Seyi Law shared that he wrote and acted in a skit with Mr Macaroni back in January 2020, claiming it was the turning point that brought the “freaky freaky” comedian into the spotlight.
“I wrote this script for him and went ahead to act with him, and as they say, the rest is history,” Seyi Law wrote.
He also noted that many skitmakers had benefited from using his iconic “Yeeee! Yeeee!!” soundbite — all without paying royalties.
But Mr Macaroni wasn’t having it.
Taking to social media with receipts in the form of chat screenshots, Macaroni cleared the air and accused Seyi Law of trying to rewrite history.
“You shouldn’t be doing this to yourself. I’m ashamed you are doing this and it breaks my heart to respond this way,” he wrote.
He then clarified that Seyi Law was the one who reached out to him in 2019, already recognizing the buzz around his “Daddy Wa” character, which had earned him almost 100,000 followers at the time.
“You invited me to your mom’s birthday, not the other way around. I was already a viral sensation when you reached out with your skit idea,” Macaroni added.
He concluded by acknowledging the collaboration but emphasized that respect and recognition should go both ways.
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.
