Controversial Nigerian crossdresser James Brown has shared his story in an interview with Media personality Chude Jideonwo where he mentioned that he never knew his father until he turned 14.
During the conversation with the media personality, James Brown disclosed that he had a small book where he wrote everything about his past life growing up as a child. According to him, his father and mother had a misunderstanding because they were both not ready to have a child.
“It’s not like my dad left. He had issues with my mum. It was in-between them. They were engaged but weren’t ready for a child. She gave birth to me and gave me to my grandma who took care of me,” Brown said.
“At some point, my dad was trying to reach out but they declined as he didn’t accept from the beginning. That affected my life. He was not a part of it up until I was 14. He was passing by and they introduced me to him.
“We talked but we weren’t that close because my grandma didn’t believe in Igbo people. She said they’ll use them to do money rituals. The belief really affected me, hence, I was running away. I was later in a predicament.
“He found out they would throw me out of the house. So he used the opportunity to take me over. I was 16. I had gone out for six months and was suffering before he reached out. That six months destroyed my life.
“There are things I’m not proud of that I’ve done. I don’t blame him. I can’t give them accolades. They did nothing.”
