Popular skit maker and actor, Adebowale “Debo” Adedayo, popularly known as Mr. Macaroni, has reacted to the controversy surrounding a reenactment of his popular “Daddy Wa” skit.
Naija News understands that a video of children imitating the comedian’s skit has gone viral.
In the reenactment, the children were dressed in adult-like attire, playing roles that mirrored Mr. Macaroni’s sugar daddy character, an interested young lady, and his wife.
However, netizens condemned the video, insisting that it was inappropriate for kids.
Reacting via a statement on X, Mr. Macaroni urged parents and guardians to exercise caution when involving children in content creation.
He emphasised the importance of showcasing their talents age appropriately, prioritising their well-being and guidance over viral moments.
His statement reads: “Dear parents and guardians, I understand the urge to want to make the most out of our uniquely talented children. I, however, strongly believe that we must apply caution while doing so. We must showcase their talents in ways appropriate for their respective ages. We must put our children first and groom them right. That way, we are able to develop the durability and longevity of their talent as opposed to a short viral moment. We owe them and our society that guidance. My love always.”
