Ghanaian TikTok sensation, Deaconess Abokoma, has responded to growing accusations about his sexuality, due to his choice to wear women’s clothing in his popular videos.
In a recent interview with ZionFelix, Abokoma addressed the rumours head-on, denying that he is gay and challenged his critics to “come and practice” with him if they truly believe he is.
He acknowledged that he has heard these claims multiple times but insisted they are baseless.
“If you think I’m gay, come and try me,” he said, adding that critics would soon discover there is no “space behind his back” for them, making a bold and unorthodox statement to discredit the rumours.
Abokoma also revealed that he has received threats from individuals who have vowed to take action against him if Ghana’s anti-LGBTQ+ bill is passed into law.
The bill, which is still under discussion, seeks to criminalize LGBTQ+ activities in the country, raising concerns for those perceived to be part of the community.
