Mark Angel Paid Emmanuella N20k, Gave Me N50k Once While Earning $160k Monthly’ – Denilson Igwe [Video]

Nigerian comedian and skit maker, Denilson Igwe has shared details about his fallout with former collaborator, Mark Angel.

In a preview of the upcoming episode of ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast, Denilson Igwe revealed that he parted ways with Mark Angel because he felt cheated, along with the rest of their crew.

He claimed he was the one who started Mark Angel Comedy and filmed the content that Mark posted on Facebook, but he wasn’t informed when the Facebook page started making money.

The comedian said that Mark didn’t give him any money from the page’s earnings until 2016 when he gave him N50,000 after buying himself a car.

He also alleged that Mark was paying one of their top stars, Emmanuella, just N20,000 per month while the crew was unaware they were making $160,000 monthly from Facebook.

Igwe 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.”

Denilson Igwe also expressed fear of speaking out, saying “The only person that can talk about him is me because I’m an orphan, he can’t kill me. People say if you talk about him, you will die.

“I was scared because he would just finish you. If you have a problem with him, it’s either you die or get involved in an accident.”

Mark Angel has yet to respond to these allegations at the time of filing this report.
