Comedian Denilson Igwe alleges financial misconduct by Mark Angel, claiming he founded Mark Angel Comedy but was kept in the dark about monetization. Igwe says he received minimal compensation while the Facebook page generated significant revenue. He also claims Emmanuella was underpaid.
In a revealing interview, popular comedian and skit maker Denilson Igwe has opened up about his fallout with his former collaborator, Mark Angel. In a teaser for an upcoming episode of ‘The Honest Bunch podcast, Igwe alleged that Mark Angel was financially exploiting him and other crew members. According to Igwe, he was instrumental in starting Mark Angel Comedy and filmed the early content, yet was unaware when the Facebook page became monetized.
Igwe recounted how, despite their growing success, he was kept in the dark about the revenue. He claimed that in 2016, after Mark bought a car, he received only N50,000 from him. Igwe further alleged that Emmanuella, a key figure in their skits, was paid a mere N20,000 monthly, despite the comedy group making approximately $160,000 monthly from Facebook.
The revelation has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media. One user suggested Igwe should take legal action if his story is true, stating, "He should go to court or VDM if his story is legit. Social media no send him papa." Another expressed skepticism about the timing of the allegations, asking, "Why is he saying this now after all these years?!" Some users doubted the veracity of the claims, questioning why Emmanuella would stay if she was being mistreated.
Overall, the public response has been mixed, with some calling for a written agreement to avoid such disputes, while others urged caution in believing the allegations without concrete evidence. The controversy continues to unfold as fans and followers await more details.
