    Celebrity fashion designer, Yomi Casual opens up on being ‘gay’

    Celebrity fashion designer, Olorunyomi Omoniyi Makun, professionally known as Yomi Casual, has finally opened up on being gay.

    The AY comedian’s brother took to his Instagram page to call out those spreading rumors against him to desist from such, saying he didn’t know where such had emanated from.

    Yomi in a lengthy note containing many curses, said he would wish for his own death if the allegations were true.

    “It is always easy for family and friends to reach out and say, ignore them. Silence is golden. They will get tired and move on to the next person. But I’m the one wearing the shoes, and I’m the one feeling all the damages and pains to my reputation as a husband, father and businessman.”

    continuing he stated that he has never nursed the idea of being gay and will never do so, Yomi cursed himself, saying he should face grave consequences if he ever nursed the idea of being gay.

    “Coming out of church today and having reflected on all the lies against me, I want to say I am not too good a Christian who would turn and take a slap on the other cheek. Enough is enough. Should I Omoniyi, Olorunyomi Makun be gay or nurse any idea of sleeping with a fellow man, may death take me before my time, and may everything that God has blessed me with be taken away from me. May failure become my portion in everything that concerns me till death.”

    “On the other hand, if these are fabrications borne out of jealousy, envy, insecurities, or wickedness and I pray for God to vindicate me. May those of you who share such lies against me also be entertained by the pain you have brought to my family. Today, I pronounce doom, death, and destruction on anyone who would continue to incite lies to assassinate my character.

    ”Enough is enough. Note: As you come here to say “no blog mentioned your name, but some of you remembered to tag me or put in a comment with my name in their comment sessions. May you and your entire family suffer from depression and untimely death”, he said.

    Recall that the fashion designer’s wife, Grace Makun, had last week come out to dare anyone with proof of the gay allegation to come out with it in 24 hours.

    Also, over the weekend, Comedian Ayo Makun, better known as AY, a senior brother to the fashion designer, noted that those are traits one can never trace to the Makuns family.

    “It’s all about entertainment for these evil people. They are traits you will NEVER EVER trace to the Makuns’. You already know who you marry, go to bed. As for the bloggers, I still have their tablets. They will use backup accounts again when I strike as usual.”

    Yomi Casual’s wife, Grace prays for calamity to come upon persons calling her husband gay

    Grace Makun, the wife of the celebrity fashion designer, Yomi Casual, has prayed for calamity to come upon persons spreading information that her husband is a gay, without bringing out proofs to confirm the speculation.

    In her words: “I pray for calamity to come upon them all one by one in JESUS NAME ?? AMEN.”

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that in a lengthy note via Instagram, Grace fumed at the unending disrespect she gets from people who spread false claims about her husband.

    She pressed on to emphasize the misinformation on the extra care taken by Yomi Casual to look good as opposed to being gay.

    With the permission of her husband, she dared the blogger to release evidence rather than the back-and-forth defamation tactic.

    In her words: “I want to address those of you tagging and sending me DMs concerning a very disrespectful assumption and the indirect rumours, orchestrated against my husband’s personality and my Household to PLEASE STOP.

    “Even if most of you enjoy seeing others go down, I think it is too early in the year to subscribe to all these ‘super stories’ designed to work on your minds, and create unnecessary trends and engagement.

    “With the permission of my husband, I am daring the so-called blogger and anyone of you who insinuate to know too much to bring out proofs that confirm Yomi “gay” as speculated without fact by your devilish camps within 24 hours.

    “We all know that the Western fashion world is engulfed with such traits and it’s stigmatizing but it is not enough to tag him what he is not even planning to become or be in another world.

    “It is also not a crime for a guy to look good , represent his brand and pay quality attention to himself. It shouldn’t be translated to being gay simply because the majority of men out there pay less attention to their looks and suddenly his appearance and amiable characteristics represents name callings? STOP WITH THE DEFAMATION ALREADY. .

    “Having said that, our family is intact without any form of chaos or a single reason for my husband and i to drag ourselves anywhere over a NON EXISTING issue. STOP tagging me & go ask your favourite blogger to save you all the stress and suspense by unleashing his or her show of shame within 24 hours or die for making you all waste your hard earn money on data for no reason.

    “More so, to those of you who love gossip, you can continue to spread your drama and lies as fans of negativity until being a victim of it would lead you into knowing how much it hurts and destroy people’s peace and joy.

    “Beyond all the lies, we shall continue to be guided on the path of truth, love, and respect for each other. Any blogger or individual who would not stop spreading fabricated and hurtful news about this man I have known in the last 5 years of marriage and for 13 years of friendship.”
