Popular comedian, Adebowale Adedayo, known as Mr Macaroni, recently caused a stir on social media after he expressed his annoyance at Nollywood actor, Deyemi Okanlawon’s character in the recently released film, SISTA, produced by Biodun Stephen.
Mr. Macaroni took to Twitter with a threat to hurt Deyemi Okanlawon if he ever came across him in person due to his character as Folarin in the movie, labeling him as “wicked and heartless.”
It is highly likely that Mr. Macaroni, who is known for his skits, was simply expressing his disdain for Okanlawon’s acting skills as he did not make it clear if he had any personal issues with the actor.
Moreover, Mr. Macaroni took to Twitter to clarify his statement and mentioned that he only referred to the character portrayed by Deyemi Okanlawon in the movie.
It is important to emphasize that such threats of violence are not acceptable in any industry and society. Mr. Macaroni’s statement can harm not only Deyemi Okanlawon but also his fans and supporters. As role models and public figures, it is imperative for celebrities to be careful and responsible when expressing their opinions and views in the public domain.
