He emphasised that his impersonation of women is purely a comedic tool, just as some entertainers adopt other culturally distinctive personas in their content. According to him, this form of expression should not be confused with lifestyle choices or advocacy.

“I am not a crossdresser; I only dress like women for content. I don’t even wear makeup—not that I can’t do comedy without it. Mimicking females is my comic strength,” Zicsaloma explained.

“There are people who are good at mimicking different characters, like a typical Hausa man. Are you saying I influenced popular crossdressers—I don’t want to mention names—who heavily dress as women to events in gowns?” he quizzed.
