“I have no regrets.
Any decision I take would be because I am solely convinced about it.
This is me and who I will continue to be.
I cannot be silenced.”
He continued;
“I hate being cheated and I hate it when people around me are being cheated.
If the government is not doing well, the least we can do is to lend our voices and call out that government.
If they choose to oppress and dehumanise us while doing that, that is their cup of tea. But, we will continue to use our voices and actions to speak against injustice.”
Macaroni revealed in the latter part of the interview that his recent skits more about the prejudice and nepotism perpetrated by the government.
