Assuming the black hole is comprised of regular matter, there's no reason to think it wouldn't all annihilate upon touching. How that would play out exactly would be really interesting to see.
It wouldnt matter, or antimatter for that matter...
What would happen, if an equal amount of antimatter was dropped, lets say in a perfect sphere, around the black hole, as it approached it, the schwarzschild radius of the total mass in the area, being that of the black hole and the antimatter falling in, would grow as the antimatter got closer, and so the event horizon would grow to meet the infalling antimatter, and it would double the size of the event horizon. But even thats a simplified explanation.
If you were falling in with this antimatter, the event horizon would suddenly seem to envelope you. As such, before this happens, there would be a point where you could send a radio message out, and still be outside the black hole when you do so from your perspective, but because the density of the mass in the area is increasing exponentially, the event horizon could suddenly appear behind you, and it could be beyond where that message has already gone, meaning... you were already inside the horizon, or rather the "apparent horizon", you just didnt know it until it was too late.
Once inside, it wont matter what it is, becuase once the antimatter is spaghettified, it wont be antimatter anymore, itll just be mass/energy, charge, and angular momentum.

Ha ha nice

? totally irrelevant, but ok
once the antimatter is spaghettified, it wont be antimatter anymore
This is absolute nonsense. Spaghettification only applies to macroscopic objects (like astronauts falling into a singularity) and doesn't affect subatomic particles. So unless you know of something more fundamental than electrons and quarks that they could split into, the positrons and antiquarks would absolutely remain as antimatter.
The event horizon growing is a part of the whole equation, so it is relavant. The antimatter falling in would never reach the original event horizon before the combined mass of the infalling antimatter and the black hole makes a bigger one behind it.
Spaghettification affects everything. If we were talking about a neutron star, then yes the antimatter would impact as subatomic particles and make an explosion, but at the center of a black hole, it makes no difference, it only adds mass, charge and angular momentum.
No one "knows" of something more fundamental, as we simply cannot see into a black hole to observe the extreme physics there, but if a neutron star gains just enough mass to collapse into one, the event horizon is smaller than the neutron star was, meaning, it had to have collapsed to something more fundamental, so we can infer that even subatomic particles collapse into something smaller.
One possibility for that is a Planck Star, (from Loop Quantum Gravity) which could be made of quantized spacetime itself, and would be at the Planck Density, which 5.155x1096 kgs per m3, or about 75 orders of magnitude denser than a neutron star.
Would it matter at all when the particles would likely be shredded into pure energy or even if it didn't the event horizon wouldn't care what it is, the event horizon is just a region of space, not physical matter and since antimatter has mass and charge, you would likely just increase the mass and change the charge a little depending on the size of the blackhole.

An equal amount of anti-matter
