Abass Akande, otherwise known as Obesere is a Fuji musician who became sensational and highly controversial for challenging all the stereotypes around Fuji music. As Obesere, he created a public persona that playfully embraced androgyny, often appearing unclad or in skimpy, revealing clothing. It is important to note that unlike other artists who embrace androgyny, Obesere does not ‘pass’, he neither has sexually ambiguous features or a face that can pass as feminine. So his androgyny stood out in stark contrast to the more socially acceptable versions out there.
