Comic Mr Macaroni’s Engagement Photos Might Be The Joke of the Year

After Rita Dominic and Fidelis Anosike, the next Green-and-Gold-themed celebrity wedding is Mr Macaroni and Kemz Mama’s… or not!

The social media sensation, raised several eyebrows on Saturday evening when he posted what looked like engagement photos of him with his frequent sidekick mummy wa whose real name is Kemi Ikuseedun.

The duo are dressed like couples in matchy green and gold Yoruba attires and we must say it looks very believable. In the comment section, Mr Macaroni whose real name is Debo Adedayo wrote “Engagement today, wedding tomorrow ?.” He went ahead to tag wedding vendors from designers to stylists, the caterer, and even the venue.

Kemi, on the other hand, posted a short clip of the photo session with the caption “DaddyWa finally paid mummy wa’s bride price @mrmacaroni1 + @kemz_mama.”

The posts immediately sent social media into a frenzy, while many fans were quick to congratulate the couple, the comic’s industry colleagues seemed shocked by the announcement.

Some of our celebrities do prefer to be discrete with their romantic relationships but most times it isn’t hidden from their industry colleagues as in Susu and Banky, so the shock expressed by Mr Macaroni’s colleagues makes it all suspicious. From his fellow comedians to actors and musicians, all seemed shook!

“Eez deez playinggg?!?!?” Falz wrote.

“Wait, na skit or na authe? ? congrats oh!” musician Darey wrote.

“Wait what!!!!!!” exclaimed BBNaija alum Tobi Bakare.

TV presenter Toke Makinwa commented “Mr Benefactor izzz this real.”

Some of the comments by celebrities on Kemi’s posts read;

“Ojoro …una no kiss o , una no show love o na rip una wan rip us o,” wrote DJ Spicey

“Make Una Kiss Now, I Wan Check Something First ?,” said Oladipsoflife

This brings us to the question… If virtually every celebrity is shocked about Mr Macaroni’s wedding, who then would make up the guests?

Our verdict is that this is most likely a joke. Moreover, an anonymous source has confirmed to Pulse that the duo are not getting married, but that the shoot is instead for a project they are both working on.

Tada! It all seems that this was just another one of Macaroni and Mummy Wa’s attempts at flexing their comic muscles. Anyway, Happy Married Life to the newlyweds, we’ve got jokes too… haha!

Chimamanda Adichie announces the birth of her twins at 47

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the multi-award-winning Nigerian author has announced the birth of her twins with husband, Ivara Esege.

She made the good news known during her interview with The Guardian where she also spoke about her new book, Dream Count, cancel culture, and other topics.

The 47-year-old author revealed that she welcomed her twins months ago but kept the news private because she wanted to protect her children.

Chimamanda disclosed that many didn’t know she got married in 2009, noting further that Nigerians are nosy people, making her hesitant to talk about her family.

Addressing the interviewer, Charlotte Edwardes, Chimamanda said, “You’ve met my babies. I want to protect my children. I’m OK with mentioning them, but I don’t want the piece to become about them.

“So, here’s the thing, Nigerians are nosy, they want to know about your personal life. Because of that, I am resistant. I very rarely talk about it.

The mother of three, also spoke about cancel culture as she reflected on the massive backlash she received for her remarks about trans women in 2017. For the remarks, her career took a huge blow.

She had been asked during the 2017 interview whether a transgender woman was “any less of a real woman”. Her response was, “A trans woman is a trans woman”.

However, speaking about cancel culture in her latest interview, Chimamanda described it as bad, saying it should be stopped.

“What do I want to say about cancel culture? Cancel culture is bad. We should stop it. End of story”.

Chimamanda is married to Ivara Esege, a Nigerian doctor. The lovebirds tied the knot in 2009 and welcomed their first daughter in 2016.

Nedu Steps Aside From The Honest Bunch Podcast Amidst Sex-For-Roles Controversy

After finding himself in the heart of recent controversy, Nigerian media personality Nedu Wazobia has resigned from the popular podcast ‘The Honest Bunch.’

In a statement shared on Instagram on February 14, 2025, Nedu said hosting the podcast had been a great experience, but the recent constant scrutiny and false accusations had become too much for him.

He wrote, “The past week has brought a lot into perspective for me. Hosting The Honest Bunch Podcast has been an incredible journey—one built on open conversations, bold perspectives, and the willingness to tackle difficult topics. But with that responsibility has come an overwhelming level of scrutiny, antagonism, and unfounded accusations that have now begun to take a personal toll.”

He explained that stepping down was a tough choice but necessary for his peace of mind and the future of the show

In light of recent events, I have made the difficult decision to step away from the podcast. This is not a decision I take lightly, but one I believe is necessary—for my peace of mind, for my family, and for the integrity of the show itself. I have always been committed to honest conversations, but when those conversations lead to relentless attacks and misrepresentation, it becomes clear that stepping back is the best path forward.

I sincerely hope this decision brings an end to the negativity surrounding my name and allows The Honest Bunch Podcast to continue thriving.

His resignation comes amid controversy stirred by social media critic Martins Ortse, aka VeryDarkMan, who accused him of demanding sex for movie roles from a female content creator, Jojo.

VeryDarkMan made the claim amid his ongoing face-off with stand-up comedian, Deeone who had claimed to have evidence that VeryDarkMan was gay during a recent appearance on the Honest Bunch Podcast, Deeone.

VeryDarkMan then threatened to release the names of all celebrities Nedu had allegedly slept with in exchange for roles.

TuBaba Proposes To Edo Lawmaker Natasha Osawaru

Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, better known as Tuface, has proposed marriage to the Deputy Majority Leader of Edo state House of Assembly, Natasha Osawaru.

Natasha is the granddaughter of billionaire Gabriel Igbinedion.

In a viral video on Thursday, the visibly excited Tuface shared a warm hug with the lawmaker, sprayed money on her and they both danced before he brought out a ring to put on her finger while friends and well-wishers who were around cheered on.

This comes just a day after the singer set social media agog with a video on Instagram confirming his romantic relationship with the Edo State lawmaker.

His confirmation of the relationship with Natasha followed an earlier announcement of separation from his wife, Annie.

While fans kept speculating about 2baba’s relationship with the Edo Lawmaker, the singer appeared at the Edo State House of Assembly on Monday.

However, in the video he posted early Wednesday morning, the singer set the record straight by stating his intention to marry the lawmaker.

He also stated that his relationship with the lawmaker has nothing to do with the marital tension between him and Annie.

He said: “I said what I said. All of us will be alright… Honourable Natasha, I see she has been dragged, she has been called all sorts of names. She has been labelled as a home breaker. She is a young, brilliant and amazing woman.

“She has nothing to do with what’s happening between me and Annie. But I see everybody trying to want to rope her into everything allegedly. Yes, I love her. She is amazing, she is cool, I want to marry her.”
