James Brown, a popular Nigerian cross-dresser, whose real name is James Chukwueze Obialor, has reacted to a move by the House of Representatives to prohibit cross-dressing the country, noting that he is a drag queen and not a cross dresser.
Umar Muda, a member of the House of Representatives had last week introduced a bill to prohibit cross-dressing in Nigeria, proposing six months jail time for culprits.
The bill seeks to ban cross-dressing with the exemption of those using it for entertainment.
Reacting to the move on his Instagram page, James Brown emphasized that he is an entertainer and that the bill has nothing to do with him.
”Point of correction, I am NOT a crossdresser. I am a DRAG Queen. Do your research before you come for me. My job is to entertain using my personality and my beauty, you already know the vibes!
”I am a COMEDIAN. You thought I was making you laugh for no reason, I am PRINCESS OF AFRICA, This bill has nothing on me.
”Don’t underestimate the power that I carry. Ask my fans, ask those that know me personally, on a daily, I give you James without all the glam and the feminine touch,” he said.
”Abeg efi mi si le, let me enjoy my life. Omo to dun toyin.”
