Comedian Seyi Law stirs controversy with remarks about Lagos Governor Sanwo-Olu, adding fuel to ongoing debates involving skit maker Mr. Macaroni.
This comes after popular skit maker Mr. Macaroni sparked a heated debate online.
The controversy began when Mr. Macaroni, known for his outspoken activism, responded to a critic on X (formerly Twitter) who accused him of snubbing the governor.
Macaroni stood his ground, insisting that he would continue to avoid interactions with Sanwo-Olu.
This response triggered mixed reactions on social media. Some supported Mr. Macaroni’s stance, applauding his boldness, while others criticized him for what they saw as disrespectful behavior.
Seyi Law weighs in
Adding fuel to the fire, Seyi Law chimed in with a sarcastic comment aimed at Governor Sanwo-Olu. He took to his X handle to share his thoughts, writing, “Nobody should blame Macaroni for the way he speaks to Gov. @jidesanwoolu. Gov. BOS will see me and act like he doesn’t know me, but he will be begging Macaroni for a handshake. Everybody get out.”

Seyi Law’s statement quickly gained traction, with many interpreting it as a critique of the governor’s approach to public relations.
By highlighting Sanwo-Olu’s alleged selective recognition, Seyi Law appeared to side with Mr. Macaroni in the ongoing feud.
Social media divided
The drama has once again highlighted the growing trend of entertainers and public figures using their platforms to address political issues.
While some applaud their courage, others question whether such public disputes are productive.
Supporters of Mr. Macaroni argue that his actions reflect the frustrations of many Nigerians who feel disconnected from their leaders.
On the other hand, critics suggest that mutual respect should be maintained, regardless of political differences.
The bigger picture
This incident underscores the evolving role of entertainers in Nigeria’s socio-political landscape. Figures like Mr. Macaroni and Seyi Law are not just entertainers but influencers who shape public opinion. By using their platforms to speak out, they amplify the voices of ordinary Nigerians.
