“He threatened me that if I continue being James Brown, the drag queen and the princess of Africa that he will kill me…”
James Brown, Nigerian crossdresser and Drag Queen, popularly known as “Princess of Africa” has revealed the genesis of his rivalry with his senior colleague, Bobrisky and alleges how Bobrisky had threatened to take his life.
He made this revelation in a recent tell-all interview with reporters in London. The outspoken crossdresser claimed that Bobrisky threatened him when he became popular and a dancer on Instagram, saying that “he will end his life if he doesn’t stop being a crossdresser”.
He narrates how Bobrisky had helped and supported him when he started and how that friendship had soured when Bobrisky became intimidated by his growth and success, career-wise.
“He is respected. He is older than me. He is about thirty-something years old and he had been in the industry for about 7 years. So I just came 3 years ago. When I came he supported me, gave me money and helped in any way he could. He gave me support money and we hung out a lot but as time went on I became a dancer on Instagram. At that moment he started threatening me and he became my enemy. So he didn’t like me at all. I don’t know, I just don’t get it. Sometimes you think you know people well but you don’t know them. That’s just it. He threatened me that if I continue being James Brown, the Drag Queen and the princess of Africa that he will kill me. So that’s how we became enemies. It’s all over the news. He has money, yes. But not as much as I think he has but I don’t know because I’m not in his bank account and I don’t know what he does. Although we are in the same line of work I don’t know what he does aside from that. I used to know back in the days though.”
