My mum slapped someone who called me Kojo Besia – Ghanaian cross dresser

Ghanaian fashion designer and cross dresser, Charlies Dior says his parents tried to protect him from taunts as a child when he was referred to as Kojo Besia.

Speaking on the Delay Show, Charlie Dior said on one occasion his mum slapped someone who had called him Kojo Besia

“It made me feel bad… I heard it in my area…I heard it in school…Teachers who were supposed to shape my future to empower me were calling me Kojo Besia…I heard all over growing up so it kindna messed with my psyche that there was something wrong with me,” he stated.

He conceded that his dad tried correcting him as a child when he acted feminine but was gentle about it.

Charlie Dior was, however, about his sexual orientation when quizzed by Delay but challenged Delay that he wore ladies’ dresses.

What ladies clothes do I wear…I had it made right from the scratch…it’s my idea, it’s my creative art I don’t expect the average man to wear what I wear because I am not an average…how do you define men’s clothes if I am the creative and I do something from the scratch why do u label it you cannot label what I create.

Eventually, he conceded that sometimes he wore ladies’ clothes stressing that if he found a ladies’ dress nice, he would wear it.

“I don’t do society…I was born in Ghana so if what I wear in Ghana does not make you comfortable you can move out…I don’t have to move out,” he responded, when challenged by Delay to move out of the country if he felt uncomfortable about comments made about his fashion.
