    All you need to know about Deeone as he sets to smash world record on stand up Comedy

    Nigerian comedian Aderombi Adedayo Martin, popularly known as Deeone, announced plans on Friday, September 5th, to break the Guinness World Record for the longest stand-up comedy performance.

    Deeone’s record-breaking attempt is scheduled to take place from October 2-4, 2025, at Pallazo Lagos, Opebi, Ikeja where he will perform for 40 hours, aiming to surpass the current record of 40 hours, 16 minutes, and 48 seconds held by Benny Elbows from the USA.

    Deeone is a Nigerian comedian and former Big Brother Naija housemate who has gained popularity for his posts on social media and has been embroiled in several controversies.

    Online Feuds and Social Media Drama (2019–2024)

    The reality star, after leaving the show, fully transitioned into entertainment with stand-up shows and online skits. But as his visibility grew, so did his spats.

    In 2019, he publicly criticised some comedians’ styles, leading to heated back-and-forth exchanges with pundits who expressed displeasure over his style and his audacious opinions. By 2021, he was trending for mocking colleagues and celebrities. A lot of his fans were divided, as some saw his content strategy as satire while others felt the contant shade was unnecessary.

    In 2022, the comedian boldly criticized reality TV stars and influencers, accusing them of “living fake lives.” His remarks ignited intense online debates. More recently, he has been in the news for exchanging words with fellow entertainers, particularly Nigerian activist Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan. This interaction is part of his ongoing streak of outspoken and, at times, polarizing commentary.

    The Creative Edge Behind the Chaos

    Beyond the noise, DeeOne has consistently demonstrated creative drive. His stand-up performances showcase quick wit and sarcasm, while his Instagram and YouTube skits cleverly lampoon Nigerian celebrity culture, societal issues, and trending conversations. He has also used his BBNaija experience as material, producing sketches that humorously mirror the drama of reality TV.

    DeeOne’s comedic brand leans into controversial satire, bold, unfiltered, and sometimes provocative. This approach keeps him relevant, but it also fuels the very clashes that define his public image.

    For DeeOne, comedy and controversy seem inseparable. Whether admired for his bravery or criticized for his bluntness, he has carved out a unique space in Nigerian entertainment, one where laughter and quarrel often walk hand in hand.

    “To cut the long story short, since deeone evicted lagos ended in june. I gave enough time to pay up at their convenience but i never heard anything from payporte.

    You recently had a successful comedy show, what were the challenges you encountered while planning the show?

     

    It was stress free, I only wish we used a bigger venue, but next year will be better. The hall could take only one thousand people .We will host over three thousand people next year at a bigger venue

     

     

    Some of your BBNaija 2018 housemates misinterpreted some of the jokes you shared on the show. How does that make you feel?

    When they came for my show and saw me perform for over an hour, they understood I was joking.

     

     

    Do you think some Nigerians took some of the events at the BBNaija house too personal?

     

    Yes they did, even till now they still take some events personal and it makes me laugh.

     

     

     

    What new projects are you working on?

    The comedy show next year will blow the minds of everyone who attends, it will be different from the regular .

    What is your definition of a sexy woman?

     

    My wife is the definition of a sexy woman

     

    Whose advice has been instrumental to your success so far and who gave it?

     

    I learn from everyone but my dad’s advice solves most of my issues .

     

     

    Would you say your game plan didn’t work out during the show?

     

    My game plan worked and I still see myself as a winner. It will take years for people to understand

     

     

    What is your take on the current state of the nation?

     

    Comedians are the only ones making Nigerians laugh, we should get more accolades.
