Popular comedian and skit maker, Denilson Igwe, has made startling allegations against his former collaborator, Mark Angel, revealing the reasons behind their fallout.
In a teaser for an upcoming episode of ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast, Igwe claimed that Mark Angel cheated him and other crew members out of significant earnings from their joint venture, Mark Angel Comedy.

Igwe, who described himself as the founder of Mark Angel Comedy, disclosed that he was the one filming the content that Mark was posting on Facebook during their early days.
He recounted how he was not informed when the Facebook page got monetized and did not receive any proceeds from the monetization until 2016, when Mark gave him a meager N50,000 after buying a car for himself.

"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," Igwe said. He explained how he learned camera work from a man named Ifeanyi and borrowed one of the cameras to shoot comic videos during their free time. "Mark then suggested that we should create a Facebook page [to post our comedy videos] which I accepted, not knowing even when it was monetised. I just kept filming," he added.
Igwe further claimed that Mark was paying one of the crew's top stars, Emmanuella, N20,000 monthly while they were unaware that the comedy page was generating $160,000 monthly from Facebook revenue. "Mark bought a car in 2014. 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," Igwe lamented.
He expressed his frustration, revealing, "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."
