Nigerian Skit maker, Chukwuemeka Emmanuel Ejekwu, alias Sabinus, has reacted to netizens bashing following a comedy skit he uploaded barely 48 hours after the death of Davido’s son, Ifeanyi Adeleke.
Sabinus, in his usual routine, posted his humourous clip on his Instagram page a few hours ago.
However, while people laughed over the funny video, some netizens tackled him for posting a skit at a time like this.
One iamakintoladavido wrote: “@mrfunny1_ but boss you for never post skit/comedy for now at least to respect or pay tribute to Davido and his family or doesn’t he deserve that?”
Reacting to the comment, the content creator wrote: “Ok sir, I will delete it.”
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that his career started in 2015 but he began to see mainstream success in 2019.
Sabinus was nominated in the 2021 maiden edition of The Humor Awards Academy alongside fellow comedian Basketmouth. He discovered his comedy talent at a young age and began actively doing comedy skits while he was in university.
This was in 2015 during a particular School Student Union week. Sabinus decided to pursue his career further by uploading various comedy skits on his social media handles, especially Instagram.
Soon enough, he started getting noticed by top Instagram influencers who started sharing his skits. His following on the platform grew.
Sabinus broke into the comedy industry in 2019.
His popularity has earned some notable recognition. Sabinus is the brand ambassador for a popular betting site: Oddstackr and many others. Some of his role models who have influenced him in his comedy career are Mr Ibu and Charles Inojie.
Sabinus has also featured in multiple Nollywood movies, the likes of ‘Billionaire’s Bride’ and ‘Man of War’.
In May 2022, he sued two Nigerian food companies for allegedly using his image and catchphrases without his permission. Specifically Friesland Food allegedly used the trademarked phrase “something hoodge” to advertise their Peak Milk product; while UAC used an animated image of Mr Funny in ads.
On the 30th of September 2022, Sabinus held his first london show at the light house event center.
