Popular comedian Denilson Igwe has shared details about his split with former partner, Mark Angel.
In a preview of the upcoming ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast episode, Igwe suggested that he left because Mark was cheating him and other crew members.
Igwe claimed he started Mark Angel Comedy and filmed the content, which Mark posted on Facebook. He wasn’t informed when the Facebook page started making money.
He 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.”
