Nigerian actress and content creator, Omotunde Sogunle, popularly known as Motunde in Mr. Macaroni’s comedy skits, has revealed how a false rumour linking her romantically with the comedian once left her devastated.
In a recent interview, the actress recounted how she was accused of getting pregnant for her on-screen father, Mr. Macaroni, and allegedly terminating the pregnancy– a claim she described as “shocking and impossible.”
“They said I got pregnant for my on-screen daddy – Mr. Macaroni – and that I aborted the pregnancy. I was shocked. When did that happen? It is not possible. Must there be such a thing between people in a working relationship? I was really devastated then,” she said.
Motunde, however, added that she has since moved on from the incident and now laughs about it with the skitmaker.
“One of the things I have learned from Mr. Macaroni is to keep your silence for your own peace. The more you come out to counter false claims, the longer the matter drags and you will have to keep explaining,” she noted.
The actress, who has steadily built a fan base through her role as Macaroni’s ‘daughter,’ said the episode has made her more resilient and careful about handling controversies in the entertainment industry.
