Open Letter To Event #Organisers ..’ – #In14Ways #Aremuorin #MercyfulGrace

by MercyfulGrace, posted in Àrèmúorin, Black History, Black men, celebrity, Education, humanity, Music, Review

I’m a seasoned, super talented, multi award winning, professional artiste. I won, at least, 6 awards, this year alone, and turned down a few. My credits range from Obama to Macy Gray.

Media & Entertainment is my full time day job & career. I clock more than 75 hrs a week & do my fair share of media phillantrophy, giving back to the community plus it’s environs – internationally.

Therefore: Stop asking me to sing, or perform for you for free. Would you to go to train for your job, and put in 30 years of hard grafting work experience to be working for tea and coffee, or travel expenses?

Unless you are a nationally registered charity for a good, great cause; please oh, for the love of God, do not ask me again, to perform for you for free. It’s unprofessional & insulting.

We all have mortgages, rents and bills to pay. Winter, summer, or fall, bills, are to be paid. Studio time is not free, neither is my entertainment lawyer cheap.

It makes no difference who approached who first. It is just simply business. We are all selling our products and services, and they are not free. Otherwise, we won’t be trading, or still be in business. Enough already.

We all have our standards, and I have mine. 2020 vission in sight. No more dross.

People have been saying to me, directly, or directly, “Who am I, and why should I be paid?”.

Well, I put it to you, like this. Google me and find out what I have been doing for the past 30 years. You can also approach my approved, professional industry standard agents, past and present.

I’m not vain, un-reasonable, delusional or fame-mongering. There are plethora quicker ways to be famous in 2019. I am just simply passionate about my work and the people it effects. In between white supremacy & antquated cultural ignorances, we must all get along.

My post is not to offend anybody. That is the fact. Thank you. Merry Xmas & Happy New Year wishes.

See you on top.

The Irony of Forgiveness

by MercyfulGrace, posted in Àrèmúorin, Education, faith, humanity, Life Quotes, Politics, Racism

My trophies are not made of earth. They are made of love. Safe away from thieves, swindlers
& moths ..’ – Aremuorin

I have learned through many encounters how God uses our enemies to lift us up, for if they knew what they were doing when they nailed Christ to the cross, they won’t have.

I understand forgiveness. We all might need it one day. That’s why I wish no evil on any one and I suffer no fools.

With love and hope in our hearts, we can move mountains, and we will do it again. God is the reason why. If he be for us who can be against us.

But when people are doing evil to others around you, and you continue to protect them, that’s when I’m not fcuking with you anymore.

My trophies are not made of earth. They are made of love. Safe away from thieves, swindlers & moths. Knowing that – “My love is not a door mat”.

That’s when I say, “Go fcuk yourself #then” ..’ – #In14Ways

The #Love Litmus Test: #In14Ways #MercyfulGrace

#Religion is a double edged sword. The other side is #politics. Did you know Africans were taken as slaves out of Africa, by westerners, on the Good Ship Jesus?

Whoever #manipulates you for #selfish agendas does not love you. I #believe in love. I believe God is love, too.

#People who love you won’t #enslave you, or your mind, to a self serving dogma. Love is #freewill ..’ – #In14Ways

The #Narcissism of #Bullies ..’ – #In14Ways #Aremuorin

by MercyfulGrace, posted in Black History, Black men, Education, faith, humanity, Life Quotes, Politics, Racism

Written by Aremuorin

Wish I knew this at ten when I was bullied and beat senslessly, for being unique, at home, and at school ..’

Ever been bullied as a child or at school? Even as an adult? Well here is an insight.

Malignant narcissistic sociopaths will demand apology, or forgiveness, from it’s victim(s) when it’s lost the power to manipulate, abuse, control, harrass, bully or inflict pain; any further.

It’s a last resort, to absolve from any responsibility and guilt, to project blame: to feel better. Very mature indeed ..’

Unfortunately, for them, forgiveness is a gift. Not theirs to demand, or withhold; arbitrarily, like they once did before. It belong’s to the victim.

Wish I knew this at ten when I was bullied, and beat senslessly for being unique, at home, and at school. So go heal yourself and let go in your own time. No pressure from any bully allowed. Love, light and power to you.

Here is a story of a black young girl bullied for her hair and how she dealt with it. This was profiled on the Kelly Clarkson Show.

Self #hate ..’ – #In14Ways #SpreadLove #Aremuorin

Written By Aremuorin

Don’t dignify yourself with trash. Below the barrel, common low IQ thugs. Nonentities slinging mud with #selfhate ..’ – #In14Ways

It’s clearer to me now that when niggers say they don’t know me they are projecting their ignorance with self hate. How pitiful and sad.

To represent my authentic self; how so glad. I’m sure there will be no street-cred, suicide, committed tonight.

It’s another day at the office of make believe; headquarters at – status-quo. I can see now. You are the man.

God bless you. I can’t help but laugh. But kindness is a gift. It rewards like Karma.

Spread love not xenophobia

by MercyfulGrace, posted in Àrèmúorin, Black History, Black men, Education, humanity, Life Quotes, Politics, Racism

Screen shot of how the blog post came out on Google 👉🏿🙄
I was asked why BBC is not reporting extensively on the SA vs Nigeria Xenophobia crisis. Isn’t it obvious? Racism is big business.
I just covered it on my blog and it was suppressed as they (Powers that be) always do when the narrative does not appeal to the status quo agenda of whitesupremacy beneficiaries.
My blog is not add supported. It’s free. I don’t make money from my blogs. It’s a pure Labour of LOVE and catharsism.
Here is the receipt. The post had videos and real dialogues on the crisis by real people but wordpress limited its visibility so it will be ignored or overlooked.

As can you can see it says – READ MORE OF THIS POST.

Only the foot note is available in the post. 😐🙄👇🏿

Slavery is a choice: Well ..’

by MercyfulGrace, posted in Àrèmúorin, Black History, Black men, celebrity, Education, humanity, Racism, Review

I’m not Kanyes publicist but this still troubleshoots in my mind.

Some were just not awakened enough to hear it, blinded by their perceptions of the extrapolated media narrative and public courts of opinion taken out of context.

It was loud and clear to some of the woke ones. The subtext all along was Mental #Slavery ..’ – #In14Ways

Dear FolksI would rather be a star, shinning side by side, like the million others, basking in the glory of the sun in the blue sky. I have no time for sabotaging anybody. Whoever put that narrative out there is evil. Low vibrating foolish people.

Listen Here Listen Here Listen Here

Have had several phone calls from some of my beloved friends and I’ve decided to say a few things about the last few days rumour.This was a little mis-communication that should not have happened, between myself, and the organisers of the June 7th event.As a Writer and a Musician, it is not my intention to sabotage any creators work, directly, or indirectly; but defend my work, brand and reputation.

Listen Here Listen Here Listen Here

However, respect goes both ways. It’s very simple. If you disrespect me; I will disrespect you. If you respect me, I will respect you, more. I’ve always supported, all my friends: friends in Hollywood, Nollywood, Nollywood UK & colleagues outside the industry.

Listen Here Listen Here Listen Here

Although, some of them, undermine my talent, work ethics, integrity and/or try to dishonour my reputation maliciously.So, I’ve made up my mind to take my career, very seriously, because I work very hard.

Listen Here Listen Here Listen Here

I maybe very jovial and a happy go lucky person; but I’m not stupid. I know my worth and what I bring to the table.As far as being a black lgbtq+ advocate and creative; some black folks especially, need to let it go, and stop being hypocritical, or rude, using inflammatory, antiquated cultures, or religions, to malign people’s reputation. We’re all humans.

Listen Here Listen Here Listen Here

The ignorance and self hate around lgbtq+ and their friends or families needs to stop. Period! There’s room for everyone to shine, spread love, and be productive. So, I will encourage you all to go and support the June 7th event – myself there, or not as a performer.

Listen Here Listen Here Listen Here

As a professional person, I have agreed to perform on the day. I’ve organised myself, spent money on the music production & my wardrobe and even turned down some other bookings because of the event.So, four days to the event, when I find out that I am no longer performing. I find that very unprofessional, especially, when I promoted the event on social media to my audience and friends.

Listen Here Listen Here Listen Here

It makes me look unprofessional, if I say nothing. It would also damage my branding and reputation as an artiste if I take no action.So, I had to publicise the fact publicly that I will not be performing since I was taken out of the line up abruptly because I asked how much I was getting paid.That’s not sabotage. It’s just telling the truth.

Listen Here Listen Here Listen Here

Doyin said, fondly, she is my only sister in London when we have had our wonderful good times in the past. If she needs me, I’ll come running.Siblings quarrel and make up (Biological or Not).Let it go ..’Love,Aremuorin#IfYouNeedMe
