Comedian Mr Macaroni Stands Firm: ‘I Won’t Accept Donations To Clear My ₦500 Million Debt

In a detailed post on his X handle on Thursday, March 20, 2025, Macaroni acknowledged that his past financial imprudence and his generosity had a detrimental effect on his financial health. He explained that after exhausting his savings, he resorted to borrowing in order to meet various financial obligations.

The actor shared that while 2024 marked a significant turning point in his acting career, it also became the most challenging year of his life due to the overwhelming debt. He also revealed that his frustration deepened after being betrayed by someone he had considered a close friend and sister.

However, with the support of his family and friends, who stood by him in his darkest moments, Macaroni expressed that he now feels more at peace than he has in the last three years.

Despite the outpouring of support from fans and colleagues who offered financial help, Macaroni emphasized in an interview with Punch that he did not share his struggles to seek assistance. He clarified, “I’m not accepting any help or donations. I shared the story primarily to help others learn from my mistakes.”
