Netizens have reacted with mixed feelings to the lengthy statement issued by Grace Makun, the wife of celebrity fashion designer, Yomi Casual.
Kemi Filani reported hours ago that Grace took to her Instagram page to share a lengthy statement about those questioning her husband’s sexuality. There have been rumours making rounds that Yomi Casual is gay.
Debunking the rumour, Grace dares the blogger responsible and those who have already set their minds to believe the rumour to produce the proof within twenty-four hours.
How it all began
Grace’s statement comes in reaction to a post made by controversial blogger, Gistlover.
Earlier in the day, Gistlover made a post on Instagram about a certain favourite celebrity couple who have dragged themselves to court to go their separate ways. According to the blogger, the husband is homosexual and the wife is aware but chooses to stay because of the benefits attached to the marriage.
Things began to take a turn after the husband got entangled with other men who could confirm people’s speculation.
Gistlover didn’t mention names, however, she gave a clue that the husband in question is a brother to a celebrity.
Swinging into prompt action under the comment section, social media users mention Yomi Casual’s name and also tagged his wife. It is worth noting that few days before the post, Gistlover shared a picture of Yomi Casual and Nollywood actors, Alex Ekubo and IK Ogbonna in a jolly friendship mood.
The picture which points as a call to action further fueled speculation in the comment section.
Reactions
Netizens have likened Grace’s statement about her husband’s sexuality to the sour relationship between Alex Ekubo and his American model ex-fiance, Fancy Acholonu.
Recall that the relationship between Alex and Fancy escalated on social media following a series of allegations they levied against each other a year after the latter called off their engagement.
