Yomi Casual's Wife Talks About Alexx's Suit
Taking to her Instagram story on the burial day, Grace shared the heartbreaking reality of her husband going to the funeral home to dress his departed companion. She described the process as an incredibly challenging task for the designer.
She recounted a typical conversation between the friends, where Yomi would inform Alexx that his outfit was ready and the actor would respond that he was on his way to try it on, followed by playful banter between them. However, she noted that things took a painful turn when her husband recently informed his friend that his suit was ready but received no response. Instead, Yomi Casual was forced to take the outfit to the funeral home and dress his late friend himself.
Expressing her sorrow, Grace questioned how her husband was expected to heal from such a painful loss. She wrote on her Instagram story: "Typical yomi and Alex conversation Yomi: ore how far, your cloth don ready Alex: ore I Dey come office come fit my cloth Plenty insults follows Few days ago Yomi: ore your cloth is ready Alex: no response Yomi, goes to funeral home to give his friend his final resting well tailored suit Omoooooooo Alex how do expect yomi should heal from this loss !!!
