Mr. Macaroni, a Nigerian actor and skit creator, has commented on the viral video of youngsters performing out his “Daddy wa” comedy. The video has generated controversy online, with many criticizing it as unsuitable for young audiences.
On October 14, 2024, a video featuring a female toddler wearing a crop top and a miniskirt became viral on X and sparked criticism from adults. Specifically, this sketch featured younger iterations of Mr. Macaroni’s persona: the sugar daddy, a young woman who expressed interest, and his spouse, who ejected the woman.
“Since Gen Z started giving birth, a lot of things are all for the camera,” remarked an incensed X user. They are mending weavon caps with frontal on a baby’s head. They are happy with everything. These parents of the new generation need to be taught parenting skills.”
Children may play so many different roles. Not one of them is this. Since Mr. Macaroni’s content isn’t intended for younger audiences, allowing younger people to play this is incredibly offensive, immodest, and careless.”
Another X user voiced her disapproval, stating, “This isn’t anything that should be promoted…As they observe, kids may think that it’s okay to experiment with intimacy and flirtation before it’s appropriate.”
On October 15, 2024, Mr. Macaroni took to X to address parents and guardians in the midst of the criticism directed towards the producers of the children’s version of the comedy.
He emphasized in his piece the importance of exercising prudence when determining what kinds of content kids should be exposed to.
In his letter, the actor said, “Dear parents and guardians, I recognize your desire to get the best out of your exceptionally gifted children. On the other hand, I really think that we should proceed with caution. We have to present their skills in a way that is suitable for their age. Our children must come first and be properly raised. In contrast to a fleeting viral moment, we are able to cultivate their talent’s durability and duration in this way. We owe that direction to children and to our society. Always, my love
