Nigerian skit maker and comedian, Zicsaloma who became popular for his funny videos on Instagram where he usually dresses up as a woman, has addressed the “cross-dressing” accusations that have recently been thrown at him.
Zicsaloma who previously caught the attention of the internet after he underwent rhinoplasty to change his nose and overall face shape, has once more gone viral for something other than his comedy.
This time netizens have accused the skit-maker of being a crossdresser, this is due to the various female characters he plays in his skits.
In an overwhelming majority of Zicsaloma’s skits, he portrays different types of women, and these portrayals have caused many to accuse him of secretly being a crossdresser.
The skit-maker has now come forward in an interview with Instablog9ja to vehemently deny these allegations, explaining that his dressing up as a woman was solely because of his skits and he was simply playing a character.
The characters he plays in his skit do not in any way affect him as a person. He also pointed out that many other male comedians/skit-makers play female characters.
In his words;
“I am not a crossdresser; I only dress like women for content. I don’t even wear makeup, not that I can’t do comedy without it. Mimicking females is my comic strength,
There are people who are good at mimicking different characters, like a typical Hausa man. Are you saying I influenced popular crossdressers, I don’t want to mention names, who heavily dress as women to events in gowns?”
