In a recent development, popular Nigerian drag queen, James Brown, has spoken out in response to news that popular musician Davido has unfollowed his aide, Israel DMW, over alleged homophobic remarks made by Israel DMW towards influencer Enioluwa.
According to reports circulating online, Israel DMW launched into a homophobic diatribe against Enioluwa, accusing them of being gay and stating that he does not support homosexuality. However, Israel DMW denied the allegations, claiming that the write-up was from a fake account impersonating him.
A quick review of Davido's Instagram page shows that the singer had indeed unfollowed Israel DMW, which has generated mixed reactions from Nigerians on social media.
In response to this development, James Brown took to the comment section of the post to praise Davido for his actions. Brown noted that individuals like Israel who make homophobic remarks only serve to damage Davido's brand.
It is important to note that discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community is still prevalent in Nigeria, where homosexuality is criminalized. Many Nigerians are calling for an end to this discrimination and violence against members of the community and for their rights to be recognized and protected.
It is hoped that this conversation around LGBTQ+ rights in Nigeria will continue to grow, and that more people will stand up against discrimination and violence against members of the community.
