Celebrity stylist Yomi Casual’s wife, Grace reacts to claim of him being ‘gay’

Grace Makun, the wife of celebrity stylist Yomi Makun, better known as Yomi Casual, has reacted to claims that he is gay.

Taking to her Instagram page, Grace told those making such disrespectful assumptions about her husband to stop.

She stated that while the Western fashion world is engulfed with such traits, it is not enough to tag her husband with what he is not.

She further averred that it’s also not a crime for a man to look good, represent his brand, and pay quality attention to himself.

In a quite lengthy Instagram post, she wrote,

“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. I pray for calamity to come upon them all one by one in JESUS NAME. AMEN”.

She supported not just me, she supported us then. She’s an amazing and very strong individual like she’s an angel and I’m very proud. You know sometimes not many people know that she’s older than I am with a lot of numbers but it’s a decision I took and I have no regrets about it.

“If anything happens to my daughter, hold David Adeleke responsible” – Sina Rambo’s mother-in-law calls out Davido for alleged threats

Singer Sina Rambo’s mother-in-law, Queen Ojanga Korth has called out misician, Davido Adeleke over an alleged threat made to her daughter, Heidi.

She took to her Instagram page to share an alleged conversation between the singer and his cousin discussing Heidi mentioning Chioma who was mourning her son, Ifeanyi in the ongoing saga between herself and Sina Rambo.

Heidi’s mother raised an alarm to the fact that Davido said he would deal with her daughter for involving Chioma in her rants and claimed that her daughter never insulted Chioma.

She wrote;

“I want the whole world to know that if anything happens to my daughter, Davido Adeleke should be held responsible as he has threatened to deal with her. My daughter is a German citizen by birth and nationality and I am tagging everybody including the bloggers to come out and present proof that my daughter Heidi insulted or called chioma out directly. I have so many threat messages to my daughter which we have ignored over a couple of days but this time, we are not ignoring this. As a mother this time I am NOT ignoring any threat to my daughter. I want the whole world to see this. We have had Enough and nobody will take my silence for granted.”

“Singleness is not a punishment for bad character and marriage is not a reward for good character” – Media personality, Emmanuel Ugolee writes.

Media personality, Emmanuel Ugolee, has urged people to stop judging a woman’s attitude based on her relationship status.

Emmanuel took to his Instagram page to address individuals who believed that married women are the ones with excellent character and unmarried women are the ones with terrible character.

According to him, being single was not a punishment for having a bad attitude and that being married was not a reward for having a good attitude.

He wrote;

“One of the most commonly believed notions right here.
How unfortunate then it will be, to on an umbrella note “yimu” at that guy who got divorced at 42 and say he was “too irresponsible to handle marriage” or to the lady divorced at 39 and say for sure “no man can live with her type”
Meanwhile in reality, the 42 year old had a promiscuous wife and the 39 year old, an abusive husband.
On the contrary, A late homecoming, wife bashing, addicted to gambling and no providing guy is at least still a husband they’ll argue. So he gets the pass on “Responsibility”
Same goes for woman who makes the home h*ll but works out a cohabitation plan with her spouse. She gets to keep the “Responsible” tag too. And would be quick to remind you, “its Mrs K please” when you dare make the tittle omission while addressing her.
The power of marriage to protect in this regard is a mirage. So if you use it for that plastic cover, its only a matter of time, the heat called reality would melt it away.
If you are also guilty as charged for labeling people based on the marriage status and not their real character, we change that today.
Do not forget that one person cannot make a marriage work. Just what if you have labeled wrongly the one who tried the hardest to make it work?
Shout out to all those who have truly stuck it out in marriage because of the true reflection and impact of their characters and sense of responsibility
But please never again label a single person whose story you do not know.”

He wrote;

“U wey no fit stand for your marriage. Abegi shift”.

The OAP did not take this insult lightly and went heavy on the troll and threw shade at the troll’s mother.

In his words;

“So a broken home is now a crime?… already told you, your mum is the replacement and if we would try, we wont give birth to a Tortoise look alike, unwise and ignorant person like you. If you are the result of your mama and papa staying together, I wish she was single”
