NaijaNetGist — Popular Nigerian skit maker, Mama Uka, has issued a strong warning to male admirers sliding into his DMs, making it clear he is not romantically interested in men.
In a video posted on his Instagram page, the comedian expressed deep frustration over persistent messages from men who mistake his cross-dressing comedic persona for his real-life identity.
Mama Uka, widely known for his humorous female roles in skits, emphasized that his content is strictly for entertainment and does not reflect his personal life or sexual orientation.
“This video is for my colleagues and others who refuse to respect themselves. If you, as a fellow man, come to my DM again to ask me out, I don’t care about your status or level — I will screenshot and post it. Nigerian blogs love that kind of gist, and they’ll carry your matter. This is the final warning,” he said.
The comedian added that he has previously responded privately to such messages in an attempt to avoid public drama but noted that the persistence has become intolerable.
“I’ve tried to be mature and reply people privately, letting them know I’m not part of that game. Look at me, I’m a father — me and you no dey the same race,” he added.
His comments have since stirred mixed reactions on social media, with some fans applauding his boldness, while others expressed surprise at the frequency of such advances.
Mama Uka’s statement brings attention to the blurred lines between on-screen characters and real-life identity, and the need for boundaries in the digital entertainment space.
