Popular comedian and skit maker Debo Adedayo, popularly known as Mr. Macaroni has revealed why he is always putting on native attire, ‘Agbada’, the signature dress he is known for in his comedy skit videos.
Mr. Macaroni revealed this on Wednesday, 23rd March during a question and answer session with his fans on his verified Twitter page.
A fan named Emmy Plug, had asked “what brought up the issue of agbada in your skit? @mrmacaronii”
According to him, it all dated back to 2019 when he got frustrated and depressed from not getting any acting roles, then he started trying different characters until he gutted the Jackpot with wearing Agbada.
“Omo.. I didn’t know what I was doing then ooo.. late 2019. I was just frustrated, tired and depressed from not getting roles. I was trying different characters and posting online. One day, I carried that Agbada and did a video. And boom,” he tweeted.
