Nigerian skit maker Denilson Igwe has shared his struggles with social media growth since his departure from Mark Angel Comedy. In a recent interview on The Honest Bunch Podcast, Igwe revealed that his social media accounts were hacked shortly after he left the popular comedy group in 2019.
Igwe described the hacking incident, which affected his YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram pages, as a major setback. “They hacked my accounts the week I left Mark Angel Comedy,” he said. “Since then, I’ve been dealing with issues I don’t fully understand. My social media pages have remained stagnant; no new followers or engagement since 2019.”
Mark Angel Comedy, which began in 2013, has achieved significant success, with over a billion views and nine million subscribers on YouTube. It was led by Mark Angel and featured other comedians including Emmanuella and Denilson Igwe.
In the same interview, Igwe also reiterated his earlier claim of being a co-founder of the comedy channel, accusing Mark Angel of monetizing the platform without his approval. Despite the controversies, Igwe’s social media challenges highlight the broader issues of digital security and content management faced by creators in the industry.
