Comedian and content creator, Deacon Famous, passionately defended his close friend, Ekenne Umenwa, amid a wave of criticism she faced following a viral wedding video.
In this trending video, Ekenne surprises everyone as she kneels before another man, not her husband. During a dance with her spouse, Moses Bliss, a gospel artist, makes an unexpected appearance at the wedding. Ekene’/ excitement is visible as she approaches Moses, kneels, and hugs him, leaving her husband momentarily.
Critics argue that her actions were disrespectful to her husband. Even Frank Eto’o weighed in, suggesting that if she hugged Moses, the man of God, it should not have extended beyond that, and he should not have reciprocated the hug, deeming it disrespectful to the groom. As various reactions and speculations continue to circulate, her friend Deacon Famous shed light on the situation.
According to Deacon Famous, Moses Bliss was Ekenne’s favorite artist, and initially, arrangements had been made for him to attend the wedding. However, Moses had a busy schedule and had initially declined the invitation. Deacon Famous then worked tirelessly to ensure Moses could attend, which was why Ekenne was pleasantly surprised to see him.
Deacon Famous clarified that Ekene kneeling down was not a gesture towards a man but rather a response to the Holy Spirit filling the room.
“She knelt done because she was under announcing. She did not kneel down because it was Moses Bliss”
He explained that when Moses entered, the atmosphere changed, and Ekene’s reaction was due to the spiritual ambiance, not the man himself. Deacon Famous compared it to people kneeling in church during prayer because of the spiritual presence and atmosphere, suggesting it was the same for Ekene.
He expressed confusion at people misinterpreting the situation, emphasizing that Ekene’s actions were driven by her connection to the Holy Spirit and not any other reason. Deacon Famous also shared another example from that day when Ekenne’s younger sister kneeled down to express gratitude, highlighting that some people are simply more expressive in conveying their feelings without deeper implications.
