    According to him, Bobrisky started giving him space because he felt James was doing too much, forgetting that Brown was more talented than him.

    “Bobrisky is short, fat and fair and tox!c. She is not fun, interesting, comic, and lovely.

    “I didn’t decide to be a crossdresser, I was born with it.

    “I charge between 1 million to 800,000 for a video ad on Instagram. I have 1.7 million Instagram followers and 1 million Facebook followers.

    “At a time, Bobrisky started giving me space because she felt I was doing too much on Instagram. I have a bunch of talents, but Bobrisky doesn’t have half, so why will I be Bobrisky”, he said.

    Internet personality, James Brown Obialor aka James Brown has clarified his lifestyle, claiming he didn’t decide to become a cross-dresser but was born as one.

    Speaking on Cool FM’s ‘Big Friday’ show with Tacha, Brown said his journey as a cross-dresser began in his childhood days, adding that his family members wholly approved of it. 

    After outlining some similarities between James Brown and Bobrisky, a juxtaposition the former vehemently disagreed with, Tacha asked: “Why did you decide to become a cross-dresser?

    He replied: “It wasn’t a decision, it’s something I was born with. I started cross-dressing when I was young and my family accepted it.

    “But my mother and father were not together. That’s the only thing that hurts me the most.”

    In October of the previous year, marking a significant shift, Brown publicly embraced his masculinity, signaling what many saw as a departure from cross-dressing on social media.
