Skit-maker, Mr Macaroni Cautions Parents With Uniquely Gifted Kids As Uproar Trails Viral Video of Kids Reenacting His Skit
Popular skit maker and actor, Adebowale “Debo” Adedayo, popularly known by his stage name Mr Macaroni has taken to social media to caution parents with uniquely talented children.
This comes after the trending video of children reenacting his ‘Daddy wa’ skit where he plays the role of a promiscuous man, caused a stir online, with many calling it inappropriate for kids.
The video in which one of the female children was dressed in a crop top and a mini skirt, gained traction on X on October 14, 2024, and received backlash from adults.
This skit in particular showed younger versions of Mr Macaroni’s character: the sugar daddy, an interested young lady and his wife, who chased the lady away.
Amid the backlash faced by the producers of the underaged version of the skit, Mr Macaroni took to X on October 15, 2024, to address parents and guardians.
In his post, the content creator emphasised the need for caution when deciding the kind of content children should be involved in.
He said he understands the urge to showcase gifted children but there is a need for parents to put the children first and also groom them properly.
Mr Macaroni then asked parents to endeavour they showcase the talents of such children in ways that are appropriate to their respective ages.

The actor wrote,
“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.”
