On his official Instagram page, the crossdresser shared a video where he spoke on how he enrolled in a UK university but dropped out because of the high cost of school fees.

According to him, he didn’t know that it was very expensive to attend a university in the UK because nobody told him. He stated that he spent £12,900 (about N15 million), and his fees were hard to come by.

James Brown said people were dragging him online despite not asking for financial help to go to school. He also threw shade at Nigerian transgender model, Jay Boogie, who begged for funds because he wanted to do a BBL, and Nigerians donated to his cause.

The crossdresser said while in the UK, he studied business management, brand management, marketing, and advertising and would love to go back to school, so people should donate towards his fees. James Brown flaunted his UK university ID card to prove further that he wasn’t chasing clout or living a fake life when he claimed he went abroad to school.
