Popular Nigerian comedian and skitmaker Debo Adebayo, professionally known as Mr Macaroni, has issued a strong denial against a damaging online allegation accusing him of defiling a minor. The controversial claim surfaced on social media platform X on November 19, 2025, prompting an immediate and forceful response from the entertainer.
Serious Allegations and Swift Denial
The disturbing allegation claimed that Mr Macaroni had defiled a 17-year-old girl and subsequently used police influence to intimidate the alleged victim's family. The post, which included mocking references to the comedian's political activism, quickly gained attention across social media platforms.
Mr Macaroni responded swiftly with a detailed rebuttal on his official X account, describing the accusation as completely false and politically motivated. He identified the accuser as a supporter of President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC), suggesting this was part of an ongoing pattern of attacks against him due to his frequent criticism of the government.
Political Motivation Behind False Claims
In his social media statement, the comedian explained that he normally wouldn't respond to such claims but felt compelled due to the serious nature of the accusation. "This is a Tinubu and APC supporter," Mr Macaroni wrote. "I am not new to their lies and attacks anytime I criticize their evil government."
The entertainer emphasized that he views this allegation as more than mere online trolling, describing it as a wicked attempt at character assassination for propaganda purposes. He characterized the accuser as a "deranged individual" whose social media history shows consistent praise for the current administration while regularly attacking government critics.
Legal Action and Public Support
Mr Macaroni has vowed to pursue legal action against those spreading what he calls "orchestrated falsehoods." He insisted that he will not be silenced for speaking out against government failures and will ensure there are consequences for such serious defamation.
Public reaction to the comedian's statement has been largely supportive, with many fans and followers encouraging him to take legal action. Social media user @victorumesi commented: "You have to sue this one. This isn't some random reply, troll or banter. This is defamation, an accusation of p*dophilia."
Another user, @Ola_Mi___De, added: "Please, teach him a lesson he would never forget!!! Let your lawyers write him straight away & demand retraction of these false accusations & reckless statements."
This incident occurs against the backdrop of Mr Macaroni's recent support for a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member who faced threats after criticizing the government's handling of rising commodity prices, further highlighting the comedian's ongoing activism and the tensions it generates.
