Actress Omotunde Sogunle, better known as Motunde from Mr. Macaroni‘s popular comedy skits have finally opened up about one of the most bizarre rumors she’s ever faced – claims that she got pregnant by her on-screen father and later had an abortion.
The false story left her devastated at the time, but she’s now sharing how she learned to rise above the gossip.
During a recent interview, Motunde recalled the moment she first heard the wild accusations.
The story claimed she’d gotten pregnant by Mr. Macaroni, the man who plays her father in their comedy videos, and then terminated the pregnancy.
“I was completely shocked when I heard it,” she admitted. “When did that even happen? It’s literally impossible.
Why do people assume there has to be something romantic between colleagues who work together?”
The absurdity of the rumor, considering their father-daughter dynamic on screen, made it even more painful for her to deal with.
However, Motunde says the experience taught her valuable lessons about handling controversy, particularly from Mr. Macaroni himself.
“I’ve learned that responding to every false claim just keeps the drama alive longer,” she explained. “Sometimes staying quiet is the best way to protect your peace of mind.”
It’s a lesson many public figures learn the hard way – that engaging with every rumor often feeds the fire rather than putting it out.
Looking back, Motunde says the experience actually made her stronger and wiser about the entertainment industry.
She’s become more careful about how she handles controversies and more selective about which battles are worth fighting.
The actress has also managed to maintain her professional relationship with Mr. Macaroni, and they can even laugh about the ridiculous rumors now.
Their on-screen chemistry as father and daughter continues to entertain fans, proving that their working relationship survived the gossip storm.
