Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome, professionally known asĀ Ali Baba, a Nigerian stand-up comedian and actor recently threw jabs at bodybuilders with some statements that the bodybuilding and fitness community is not taking lightly.
The statements were tagged to a group photograph of veteran bodybuilders; Dexter Jackson, Ronnie Coleman, Jay Cutler and Bod Cicherillo.
Here are some of his statements,
Don’t know why any man will wear red pants. Its a total disgrace. They should be ashamed of themselves.
And why is that one looking away when someone is taking their picture. That is total lack of respect for the photographer. Respect people’s jobs. Is that too much to ask Mr Muscle Man?
Just negudo… a man wearing earrings. Just so annoying. Isn’t that just the height of it? Be confident in yourself. And the stud could even be fake.
Thats how they will be doing next thing they will be shouting that they have muscle pull. Muscle pul keeeee you diaaa. Just imagine! Nonsense photoshop
I don’t get it. Just imagine. All this muscle and 4 seconds everywhere polasssshhhh. Is not by musckkkkle.
I dont want anyone to even think this is beef or bad belle. Noooooo. We should speak up when something is going wrong.

Go an check now, they can’t pay rent, they are jumping buses upandan. No future ambition. Where did commando finally end his muscle career? No where.
