“He Paid 50k, Emmanuella 20k, While We Makes $160k Monthly” Denilson Igwe Opens Up On Why He Leaves Mark Angel Comedy
Denilson Igwe, a former member of the Mark Angel Comedy crew, has come forward with allegations of mistreatment by Mark Angel, the founder of the popular comedy group.
On a recent episode of the “Honest Bunch” podcast, Denilson shared his story, claiming he was one of the initiators of the Mark Angel Comedy skits while working as a cameraman.
Denilson alleged that Mark Angel, who was working as a security guard at the time, asked them to create a Facebook page, which he later monetized without their knowledge.
He also claimed that Mark Angel bought a car in 2014 but lied about it being a gift.
Furthermore, Denilson stated that Mark Angel paid Emmanuella, a popular child comedian in the group, a monthly salary of 20,000 Naira, while the crew was unaware of the significant revenue generated from the Facebook page, which was reportedly $160,000 per month.
Denilson concluded by saying that he is the only one who can speak out against Mark Angel, as he is an orphan and has seen others who have spoken out against him meet with accidents or even death.
His allegations have sparked controversy and raised questions about the inner workings of the Mark Angel Comedy group.
