The YouTuber later tried to clear the air on Instagram by sharing how he had just booked the wedding venue and had nothing to do with their regulations.
“I rented out Garrison Gold Club for my Walima. I had absolutely nothing to do with this sign and do not support this message. I think it’s disgusting. In fact, my Guard and my house workers were invited to the event. Also, I never notice the sign. Had it come to my attention I would’ve had it removed.”
What do you think of this situation and the YouTuber’s apology? Meanwhile, how do you feel about the rule at the wedding venue? Let us know in the comments below.
