Popular Nigerian crossdresser James Brown, also known as the Princess of Africow, made headlines during a Lagos party where he had an encounter with Fuji music legend, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (KWAM 1).
A viral video captured the moment James Brown, born James Chukwueze Obialor, approached the stage to greet KWAM 1. Calling the Fuji icon “Daddy” repeatedly, James attempted to catch his attention while KWAM 1 was engrossed in his phone.
The Fuji star eventually acknowledged James Brown with a quick smile, after which the crossdresser walked away.
The event was reportedly the grand coronation ceremony of His Royal Highness, Oba Ganiyu Adekoyejo Omotayo, as the Fidimolu Olutemowo of Elepe Land. The ceremony took place in Ikorodu, Lagos State.
Another video from the event showed James Brown greeting a traditional ruler, sparking further online conversations.
Netizens shared a variety of opinions about the event and James Brown’s interactions:
- @bigberry0001: “Kwam 1 will be like tani daddy weyre.”
- @jerryotor04: “Na who send am. Daddy Daddy Daddy notice me. Bi like fish pie.”
- @kemmyclassic_79: “Can you imagine the rubbish these so-called Yoruba elders are promoting? Is this boy supposed to sit close to the king at all? Can he dress like this to sit beside the King of Benin?”
- @tete9ja: “A man dressed as a woman, in the presence of a king.”
The moment has ignited debates on cultural norms, respect for traditional institutions, and the growing influence of figures like James Brown in Nigerian society.
