Controversial Comedian Eric Omondi has come out to deny reports that he is gay.
Eric informed Kenyans in an interview with Citizen TV that the alleged accusations are unfounded and untrue.
“I feel like they need to get ready because they are not ready, its gonna get worse. Divalicious has just arrived we are just starting, so I’m very worried because we are just introducing, hatujaanza, sasa tukianza. So let them prepare psychologically, get ready there’s gonna be a lot more between now and December actually. A little too much,” the Comedian said.
Eric Omondi has come under heavy criticism this year for unveiling a female alter ego. He is frequently seen in videos wearing wigs and skimpy dresses, leading to the assumption that he is crossing over.
Asked on why more male comedians are cross-dressing now days, Omondi answered;
“It’s as old as every big comedian with substance from Kevin Hart to Tyler Perry to Martin Lawrence, to Eddie Murphy everyone has targeted a character with”
Adding:
“The reason is like I have the most followers in Kenya 70 per cent of people follow me are women and ladies you understand where I’m headed? So I have to segment them, and give them a character it’s called divalicious. Very few women have a problem with divalicious coz they relate, ” Omondi argued.
“Is Eddie murphy gay? I will answer is Flaqo gay? I will answer you. So there is LGBTQ , there’s transgenders and there are cross dressers. Let’s handle this topic today. Here are drag queens, and then there are artistes, comedians they’re just entertainers.”
“So let’s go pole pole tuko kwa class. There are gay people there are drag queens, there are transgenders, there are artistes. So a gay person dresses whatever they dress with a reason. As a man who loves a man . An artiste like me Eric Omondi or Flaqo or Crazy Kennar, is an entertainer, ”
“That is for entertainment to pass a certain message that is a layman basic explanation . So when Flaqo, Eric Omondi dresses like that don’t take us to that gay person. I’m trying to make it as simple as possible “
