After Femi Adebayo disregarded Islamic clerics’ counsel and signed an endorsement deal with another alcohol company, Muslims from over the world pulled him.
The new contract is announced by Femi Adebayo on his social media profile with the caption: “July month coming to an exciting conclusion. Glad to be a brand ambassador for the @kubanahwhiskey family.

The Muslim Femi Adebayo was urged to cease promoting alcohol in the video titled “Sincere Advice to Brother Femi Adebayo to Stop Promoting Alcohol” by an Islamic scholar and TV presenter.

According to him, “We have seen our brother performing umrah countless times. We also saw him at the just concluded Hajj. Back home in Nigeria, however, he is the same person that promotes an alcoholic drink (name withheld). He also invites other celebrities to promote the same alcohol.
“Maybe he doesn’t know the Islamic verdict on what he is doing. It’s, therefore, our responsibility to let him know since he identifies with Islam…”
