Veteran Nigerian entertainer Charly Boy has responded to Nigerians who have questioned his sexuality and labelled him gay.

The entertainer addressed the issue in a post shared on his Instagram page, saying he was unbothered by the speculation surrounding his sexuality.

According to Charly Boy, some Nigerians have openly described him as gay over the years, but he has refused to allow the comments to affect him.

“For years, many have questioned my sexuality, some have openly called me gay.

“Anything una like make una talk, because I know for many Nigerians, dey are still living under the rock,” he wrote.

Charly Boy also spoke about embracing his feminine side, arguing that doing so does not make a man less masculine.

“Embracing ones feminine side isn’t about becoming less of a man—it’s about becoming more of a human being.

“It’s about having access to the full spectrum of human experience: strength and vulnerability, logic and intuition, independence and connection.”

Concluding his message, the entertainer appeared to dismiss his critics, writing, “If u know u know. I no send ur father.”
