After his recent comments on Nedu's show about Mark Angel, Legit.ng reached out to Ali Baba. During our conversation, we asked him if, very soon, skit makers would chase Stand-up comedians away, considering that there seems to be more money in skit making. He said:
"Stand-up is going nowhere. Two truths can co-exist. However, I would love to note that instead of skit makers chasing stand-up, they're rather delving into it because that's where the real money is. Sabinus now has his own stand-up, Woli Agba does, Coach Remote and many others. Like I said, stand-up is going nowhere."Legit.ng recalls reporting when videos of Mark Angel's new real estate in Port Harcourt went viral.
A video sighted online showed the exterior of Mark Angel's alleged estate in Port Harcourt looking exquisite.

Despite how long the comedian has been in the industry and the money he has obviously made, he chooses to live his life lowkey.
