The African Men Entertainment Kings (AFRIMEK) has explained why one of their members Femi Adebayo announced crossdresser Bobrisky as the best-dressed female at Eniola Ajao’s Beast of Two Worlds movie premiere.
Concerns over the announcement were raised after the premiere on Monday as many celebrities including Dayo criticised the judges for placing Bobrisky in the same category as women.
While many slammed Femi Adebayo and others who declared Bobrisky the best-dressed female, others including Femi’s wife Aduke defended the actor as she attacked Dayo whom she called a hypocrite.
Femi also hit back at Dayo, saying that she can never have rest of her mind if his success is a problem for her.
With things spiralling out of control, AFRIMEK was forced to out a statement on Instagram on Tuesday night to address the attack on one of their own.
In the statement signed by Adeniyi Johnson, it was revealed that Femi was not part of the selection team but was only called upon to announce the winner without prior notice.
The organisation also described the actor as a religious person who would never go against the will of Allah, especially in the month of Ramadan.
The statement read: “In retrospect to the recent buzz and news going on online about the Amiable MAYOR of our honourable club AFRICAN MEN ENTERTAINMENT KINGS CLUB (AFRIMEK), FEMI ADEBAYO SALAMI!! We would like to sensitize the entire public that our honourable Mayor is a man of integrity, class and honour who stands and uphold all positive value and etiquette of normal human beings.
“Sequel to the announcement he made at the movie premiere, he was basically called upon to announce the winner for best dressed at the event. Note that he wasn’t part of the selection team, as a form of honour he was called upon to announce without prior notice!!
“Need we remind you that this is entertainment world where creativity comes and business strategies is been generated, the anticipated buzz is gotten as expected! Knowing FEMI ADEBAYO for who he is and his religious belief he will never do what is against the will of Allah especially at this time considered as holy month!! We implore all concerned parties to sheath their sword and allow peace to reign!!!”
