Popular Nigerian comedian Ayo Makun, also known as AY, has recently spoken out in defense of his family, particularly his brother-in-law Yomi Makun, who is also known as Yomi Casual. Yomi Casual has been the subject of speculation and rumors regarding his sexuality, with many individuals on social media referring to him as gay. However, AY has come forward to deny these rumors and defend his family against these accusations.
The comedian’s statement came in response to a post made by his sister-in-law, Grace Makun, on Instagram. In her post, Grace challenged anyone with proof that her husband Yomi Casual is homosexual to come forward with that proof, stating that she was 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 included a curse, stating that she prayed for “calamity to come upon them all one by one in JESUS’ NAME. AMEN.”
AY Comedian responded to Grace’s post in the comments section, stating that “it’s all about entertainment for these evil people.” He went on to say that these rumors and speculation were not something that could be traced back to the Makun family and that the family already knew who they were marrying. He also made reference to bloggers spreading these rumors, stating that “I still have their tablets.
They go use backup accounts again when I strike as usual.”
This statement from AY is not the first time that he has come forward to defend his family against rumors and speculation. It is clear that he takes the privacy and reputation of his family very seriously and will not tolerate individuals spreading false rumors about them without any proof.
This situation also highlights the unfortunate reality that individuals in the public eye, particularly in the entertainment industry, are often the subject of rumors and speculation, and it can be difficult for them to clear their names when these rumors are spread without evidence.
Our View
It is unfortunate that individuals in the public eye, like Yomi Casual, are often the subject of rumors and speculation regarding their personal lives. In this case, the rumors surrounding Yomi Casual’s sexuality are not only hurtful and damaging to him and his family, but they also perpetuate harmful stereotypes and discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community. As AY Comedian stated, these rumors are simply for the entertainment of those spreading them and have no basis in fact.
It is commendable that Grace Makun and AY Comedian have come forward to defend Yomi Casual and challenge anyone with proof of his supposed homosexuality to come forward. It is important to remember that every individual has the right to privacy and should not be subject to rumors and speculation without evidence. It is also important to recognize that these rumors and speculation can have real-life consequences and can lead to further discrimination and marginalization of already marginalized communities.
In general, it is crucial to be mindful of the words we use and the impact they may have on others. It’s important to not spread rumors and to be responsible for our words and actions. It is always better to be respectful of other people’s lives and privacy.
