Nigerian comedian, actor, television host, Idileoye Oluwaseyitan Lawrence professionally known as Seyi Law in celebrating his 20 years on stage appreciated some talents that he has helped/groomed in the industry who in turn have been grateful, while he criticized the likes of Adebowale Adedayo known as Mr. Macaroni for not acknowledging his impact in their career.
The comedian had in a post on X on Thursday night alongside a video where he collaborated with Mr. Macaroni in a skit implied that his royalties were not paid, despite the fact that the skit maker was brought to him by his junior sibling.
His post read: “There are so many things that are oblivious to the media, and one of them is how I have selflessly supported several talents in this country without collecting a dime. Many may not acknowledge my impact in their lives, but that doesn’t write them off.
“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. “Kundus” to them for their massive success.
“While some of them are grateful, others like @talkingdrum_cfrn who used one of my jokes from an experience in my elder brother’s house and turned around to tell me, the same thing happened in their home.
“Anyway, it has been 20 years of God’s grace and impact.” Seyi Law wrote
