IBADAN, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Nigerian fashion designer, Omoniyi Makun also known as Yomi Casual, has reacted to rumours that he’s a homosexual.
He took to his Instagram page on Sunday, to rain curses on those peddling the rumours and let his feelings known in a lengthy note.
Reacting to the allegations, Yomi said he is the one who best understand what it has done to him.
He wrote: “It is always easy for friends and family to reach out and always say, “Ignore them… Silence is golden…” they will get tired and move on to the next person.” But I am the one wearing the shoes, and I am the one feeling all pains and damages to my reputation as a father, husband, and businessman.”
He added that he has never nursed the idea of being gay and will never do so. He cursed himself, stating that if he ever did (nurse the idea of being gay), he should face grave consequences.
In his words: “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 single idea of sleeping with a fellow man, may death take me before my time, may everything that God has blessed me with be taken away from me. May I not prosper in anything I lay my hands to do. May failure become my portion in everything that concerns me till death.”
His elder brother and comedian, Ayo Makun, popularly called ‘AY’, had earlier disclosed that there are no homosexuals in his family.
AY made the statement while reacting to a post by his sister-in-law, Grace Makun challenging those calling her husband, Yomi Makun, popularly known as Yomi Casual, gay.
Grace in a lengthy Instagram post on Friday, challenged anybody with proof that her husband is homosexual to come forward with proof.
A part of her post read: “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.”
She also cursed those behind the speculation, writing “I pray for calamity to come upon them all one by one in JESUS NAME. AMEN.”
Responding in the comment section of Grace’s post, AY Comedian wrote: “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. Them go use backup accounts again when I strike as usual.”
