Popular Nigerian comedians, Seyi Law and Mr Macaroni whose real names are Oluwaseyitan Aletile and Adebowale Adedayo, respectively — have clashed over claims on who is more popular and skit credits.

In an X post on Thursday, Seyi in a video claimed that Mr. Macaroni had come to beg him to be perform a skit on his (Seyi’s) mother’s birthday party.

At the said time in January 2020, Seyi said he did more than his colleague asked for and went ahead to write a skit for him which brought him to spotlight.

However, Mr. Macaroni denied the claims.

“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.

“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. Kudos to them for their massive success,” Seyi said.

Refuting the claims with chat screenshots, Mr. Macaroni said;

“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.”

He also made it clear that he was already famous at the time Seyi referred to with his ‘Daddy Wa’ skits having 100k followers.

Additionally, he appreciated Seyi for letting him collaborate on the content which he referred to as “a big deal” and said he shows love and respect and also reciprocated by helping Seyi promote his show, when he called.
