Celebrity fashion designer, Yomi Casual has addressed rumour about his sexuality, praying for his own death should he be gay as being speculated.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Yomi Casual said friends and family advised him to ignore the rumour circulating about him being gay.
He said he could no longer do so due to the toll it was taking on his reputation as a business and family man.
The fashion designer’s post was made hours after his wife, Grace, came out to defend her husband.
“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,” Yomi Casual said.
He prayed for calamity to befall him should he be gay as speculated.
“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,” Yomi Casual said.
The popular fashion designer called out those spreading the rumour and laid curses on them.
“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,” the fashion designer stated.
He added, “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!”
