Nigerian celebrity designer, Omoniyi Makun, popularly known as Yomi Casual, has finally responded to a gay allegation made against him on Friday.
Although his name wasn’t called out, some social media users had insinuated Yomi was gay and more daring ones turned to the comment section to tag the father of three.
BlackBox Nigeria had reported that Yomi’s wife, Grace Makun, stood in defence of her husband telling the “so-called blogger” to come out with proof of the claim.
Popular standup comedian and Yomi’s brother, Ayo Makun, AY, also backed Grace in defence of Yomi as he revealed that there are no traits of homosexualism in the family and that those spreading the news are only chasing clouts.
Yomi, who had said nothing on the issue, blew hot in a statement he uploaded on his verified Instagram page on Sunday where he named the rumour false and rained curses on himself if the rumour was true, as well as curses on those spreading the rumours if it was false.
His post reads, “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.
“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.
“On the other hand, if these are fabrications borne out of envy, jealousy, wickedness, and insecurities, I pray for the same God to vindicate me. May those of you who enjoy and share such lies against me be also entertained with the pain you bring to my family. May that thing that has kept you jobless remain in your lives till death. Today, I pronounce death, doom, and destruction on anyone who would continue to incite lies designed to assassinate my character. I also pronounce the same on those who fall and fly with it without confirmation.
“MAY ALL THESE CURSES RETURN TO ME IF I AM TRULY GAY. 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!.”
