Cross-dressing is the practice of putting on clothes normally worn by the opposite gender. To some, cross-dressing is like an art, a way of expressing themselves.
Some men also cross-dress for entertainment. For instance, drag performers dress up in dramatic costumes to perform on stage, in ballrooms, nightclubs or on TV.
A male who puts on female clothes for entertainment can be called a drag queen. Drag queens are categorized by excessive makeup and fashion that essentially mocks the idea of hyper-femininity.
There is an ongoing cross-dressing culture in works of comedy these days. A lot of Nigerian Instagram comedians rely on cross-dressing to create humour.
Here are 5 Nigerian cross-dressers currently reigning on social media:
