Early Life
Adebowale David Ibrahim Adedayo, a native of Ogun State, was born in Ogudu, Lagos to an upper-middle-class, Islamic and Christian family in May 1993.
He attended Tendercare International Nursery and Primary School in Ojota, Ogudu, which is presently located in Magodo, Isheri, where he grew up.
After completing his elementary schooling, he attended Babcock University High School for his secondary education.
In 2009, he was admitted to Lead University, Ibadan, where he studied law, but was forced to quit in his second year due to an accreditation problem.
Adedayo was a law student at Houdegbe North American University, Cotonou, in the Republic of Benin in 2011, but he was forced to leave before receiving his degrees owing to his outspoken character and commitment to justice.
mr macaroni decided not to finish his education after leaving Cotonou and instead pursue his acting career seriously.
His parents encouraged him to complete his studies, despite his appearances in a few films and sitcoms.
This time, he decided to pursue Theatre Arts (his self-proclaimed first love) and was accepted to Afe Babalola University in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti.
Several reasons, however, prevented him from completing his schooling. Debo was admitted to Redeemer’s University Nigeria, Osun State, in 2013 and graduated in 2018 with a degree in Theatre Arts and Film Studies.

Africa is the subject of Adedayo’s humor, which focuses on actual events and problems. He consistently assumes the position of a sugar daddy.
In an interview with the Nigerian Tribune, he explained that he chose the role of a sugar daddy because it symbolizes a large proportion of males who lack self-control.
