According to him, people who hide aspects of their lives often do so out of fear, but he has never been afraid to be authentic.
The controversial singer said if the rumours about his sexuality were true, he would have openly admitted it without hesitation.
“If I was gay, I’ll be shouting it at the rooftop. I don’t hide myself. I commit my soul,” he said.
He added that he prefers to live his life in the open, comparing himself to someone sitting in the market square where everyone can see him.
“By that I mean I’m like an open book. I can’t lie about anything because liars are for people who don’t have the courage to live their authentic life, and I’ve been living my authentic life since ages. So, I don’t send anybody,” he stated.
For decades, Charly Boy has remained one of Nigeria’s most controversial and talked-about entertainers.
From his bold fashion statements to his unique stage persona, the veteran performer has consistently pushed boundaries and challenged social norms.
His eccentric image, combined with his outspoken activism, has often fueled public curiosity and speculation about his personal life.
However, the entertainer insists that he has never lived behind a mask and has no reason to start now.
