Content creator Adebowale "Debo" Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, narrated how he fell victim to a scam and a failed investment in 2021.

Speaking about his financial struggles, Mr Macaroni revealed that after losing all his savings, he resorted to borrowing to settle pending commitments and slipped into a N500 million debt.

Mr Macaroni mentioned that he is financially reckless and generous, which led to his financial instability.

Taking to his X page on Thursday, Mr Macaroni wrote, “Sometime around 2021/2022 I was victim of a scam and simultaneously a failed investment that cost me all I had saved at the time. It shook me deeply but I told no one about it. If you know me well enough, you would know I do not like to share my problems. I could be going through the worst and at the same time helping others solve their own problems but I just would never share mine.”

“After I lost all the money I had then, Trouble started when I had to borrow money from different sources to settle all pending commitments and also fulfill certain responsibilities i have always believed were mine to fulfill. I make money in millions so I never thought borrowing money to pay back with interest could ever be a problem. But I got too comfortable and it took me a long time to realize that I was using the money I was earning to pay back interests. Also, my financial recklessness did not help. Please don’t borrow money! But if you must, please be responsible.”

The actor described the year 2024 as a crucial year in his acting career. According to him, his frustration grew worse after he was betrayed by someone he considered a friend and sister.

He pointed out the support he received from family and friends during those trying times helped him, as he now feels better than I have felt in the last 3 years!
