Speaking during the chat, Josh2Funny said, “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.
“I had a lot of advances from gays. There was one who chatted me on WhatsApp to profess love for me and I started threatening him that I would pray for him to go blind. I told him he was going to be blind in two weeks.
“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.”
