James Brown, Nigerian crossdresser
Popular Nigerian crossdresser James Brown has temporarily reverted to his male identity, citing financial struggles as the reason.
The social media sensation took to his Instagram page on Friday March 14, 2025, to solicit help, revealing that his current challenges have forced him to pause his feminine lifestyle.
In his post, James Brown stated, “Many people have been asking, ‘James, is it true you need help?’ I actually do. I need all the ads and promotions. In fact, I have turned into a boy right now.”
He also shared his dream of furthering his education, revealing that he needs approximately 30 million naira for tuition excluding living expenses and food costs.
“I have reached out to some friends. If you want to support, nothing is too small,” he pleaded with his followers.
In a follow-up caption, Brown urged people to offer understanding and support rather than mock him.
“Don’t laugh at someone who’s trying to put everything together to go back to school,” he wrote.
His announcement sparked a wave of reactions from netizens, with opinions divided between support and criticism.
Instagram user Lorlah questioned the necessity of studying abroad, suggesting, “You can school here in Nigeria; we have good schools, honestly. Why spend over 50 million just to study in the UK?”
Similarly, Kween Mimi stated, “Cut your coat according to your size. Must you go to school in the UK? What happened to Unilag or Uniben?”
Teacher Grins also weighed in, advising, “Get a job, start a business. That’s what we regular people are doing.”
Meanwhile, Treasure Daniel expressed shock at his revelation, writing, “You’ve turned into a boy? What were you before?”
Abaya Gold added a dose of sarcasm, saying, “Now you see being a girl child is not easy. Go and work.”
Fleaky Susan gave blunt advice, stating, “Go and hustle like the man you are.”
