I’m not a cross-dresser, I’m a comedian – James Brown makes U-turn
James Brown says he is a “comedian and drag queen” amid ongoing efforts to ban cross-dressing in the country.
Cross-dressing is the act of wearing items of clothing not commonly associated with one’s sex.
On April 5, the house of representatives proposed a bill seeking to prohibit the practice and jail offenders.
“A person engaging in cross-dressing is guilty of an offense and liable to imprisonment of 6 months or to a fine of five hundred thousand Naira,” the proposed bill reads.
Brown has identified as a cross-dresser on several occasions in the past. In November 2020, he addressed himself as a cross-dresser while dousing rumoured rivalry with Bobrisky.
But reacting to the bill in an Instagram post, the 22-year-old said he is not a cross-dresser as believed but a drag queen.
A drag queen is a man who dresses in women’s clothes for entertainment purposes.
