In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)in Lagos, Mr Macaroni said that allegations of sex for roles should be investigated and punishable under the law.
He said,
“Absolutely disgusting, absolutely abominable act, I’ve always spoken against it, even before I attained this position being a public figure.
“I have kicked against it, I have series of tweets against it, I have lots of content to speak against it, it is highly disrespectful and highly degrading, it reeks of how much we have lost touch with humanity.
“People should get roles and jobs based on competence, based on the fact that they are able to deliver. How many people will you sleep with?”
He further said there should be consequences for such actions rather than turning a blind eye to it.
He said
“There should be consequences for reprehensible behaviour to do better. If not, if they are found guilty, I want to believe there are appropriate punishment to address this.
“And it cuts across, it’s not just sex, somebody will ask you to go and bring money for job, if they have money will they be looking for jobs, we shouldn’t ruin the lives of others too.”
Addressing talents going through such ordeals, Mr Macaroni advised them to stay true to themselves and remain consistent.
He said,
“For such up and coming artiste, take a look at Mr Macaroni, I will advise you to look at my life and my journey, success doesn’t come once.
Mr Macaroni is best known for his satire comedy videos, where he plays the role of a sugar daddy. He is known for the phrases “Ooin” and “You are doing well”.
