A recent viral video circulating on social media captures a noteworthy moment involving the popular comedian, Mr Macaroni. The incident took place at Tony Elumelu's exclusive all-white party, attended by numerous Nigerian A-listers from diverse sectors.
Notably, the video highlights what appears to be a snub by Mr Macaroni towards the Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-olu. The footage shows Mr Macaroni opting not to greet the governor when he arrived at the event, despite acknowledging the presence of the host, Tony Elumelu.
