Nigerian comedian and skit maker Chibuike Josh Alfred, popularly known as Josh2Funny, has disclosed why he stopped portraying his popular female character “Mama Felicia” in skits.
Speaking on “The Honest Bunch” podcast, Josh explained that he abandoned the character due to persistent advances from homosexual men, which he found appalling and embarrassing.
“The difference between me and other male content creators playing female characters is that mine was straight comedy. Any gay that would be attracted to me because of the character, is senseless. Because I made sure it was stupid, ‘Mama Felicia’ is a stupid character. It was just stupid,” he said.
Josh shared that he received numerous advances from gay men, recounting one instance where a man professed his love for him via WhatsApp. In response, Josh threatened to pray for the man to go blind.
“Harassment from gays was part of the reason I left ‘Mama Felicia’ character. It was after that that I turned to ‘Brother Zakius.’ Instead of wearing female dresses, I had to start putting on male clothes. Because the advances from gays was becoming embarrassing for me. I just want to make people laugh,” Josh stated.
