Read Time:1 Minute, 54 Second
Popular comedian and skit maker, Denilson Igwe has disclosed details about his fallout with his former collaborator, Mark Angel.
Igwe in a teaser for the upcoming episode of ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast, alleged that he parted ways with Mark because he found out that he was cheating him and the rest of the crew members.
He claimed that he started Mark Angel Comedy and was the one filming the content which Mark was posting on Facebook in their early days but he wasn’t informed when the Facebook page got monetized.
He added that Mark didn’t give him a dime from the proceeds of the monetization until 2016 when he gave him N50,000 after buying a car for himself.
Igwe also alleged that Mark was paying one of the crew’s top stars, Emmanuella N20,000 monthly why they didn’t know that they were making $160,000 monthly then off Mark Angel Comedy’s Facebook revenue.
He said, “I was the one that started Mark Angel Comedy. I’m an orphan… Mark was the elder brother of the house. He was a security guard at Kilimanjaro, GRA, Port Harcourt.
“I was learning camera work from a man called Ifeanyi and I stole one of the cameras. So in our own free time, we will shoot comic videos.
“Mark then suggested that we should create a Facebook page [to post our comedy videos] which I accepted not knowing even when it was monetized.
“I just kept filming. Then suddenly in 2014, Mark bought a car. I asked him how he was able to afford it and he lied that someone gifted him the car and I accepted. I haven’t received a dime from Mark Angel Comedy revenue then.
“He started paying Emmanuella N20,000 monthly. Her parents were poor so they didn’t even know the value of what their daughter was doing.
“No one knew the revenue it was generating. 2016 was the first time he gave me N50,000 and told me that the comedy wasn’t generating revenue. And we were making $160,000 monthly off Mark Angel Comedy’s Facebook revenue then.”
