In the wake of the controversial and heartbreaking passing of young Nigerian artist Mohbad, the entertainment industry has been abuzz with discussions, speculations, and debates.
Cross dresser James Brown, had chosen until recently to maintain silence through it all.
Given James Brown’s history of speaking out on issues close to his heart, his silence on the topic of Mohbad’s tragic death has sparked curiosity among fans and the media.
He revealed that he was only keeping silent because the issue did not concern him and so he was minding his business.
Since breaking his silence, he has released a statement on Mohbad on his instagram story,
“Hey Durlings It took me time to understand everything about
Mohbad demise. I am familiar with his song but not too close to him personally.
When I heard the news I was on set I did not know how to react, After a proper explanation from my PA& Team I now understand everything, I am so sorry (MY DURLINGS)
I can feel the pain of the youths.
#justiceformohbad ?”
Known for his vivacious personality and outspoken nature, James Brown recently made headlines when he offered a message of caution to fellow cross-dresser Bobrisky, who had undergone a surgical procedure to enhance his body.
While Bobrisky had promised to “break the internet” with photos of his surgically enhanced figure, James Brown urged him to “calm down.”
“I actually saw Bobrisky’s post, and I’m like, girl, I am happy you are okay. I sent my condolence last time about your father. Hope you’re good and perfect. Girl, I saw it, new update, but girl calm down,” James Brown shared on his Instagram story.
This move to urge restraint in the face of Bobrisky’s transformation was met with curiosity from fans and followers, as James Brown has never been one to shy away from speaking his mind on various topics, including social and political issues.
Last month, James Brown found himself in the spotlight when he weighed in on the arrests of over 100 individuals in Nigeria on charges related to homosexuality. In his normal manner, James Brown shared his thoughts on the matter, emphasizing the limitations on expressing one’s sexual orientation in Nigeria.
He spoke the current societal norms and legal constraints in the country. He stated that while he was sorry that they had been arrested, if they truly wanted to express themselves, they should go to Rome. He stated that there are limitations to expression in Nigeria so let’s obey and follow those limitations. He had also urged Nigerians to use their rights.
