The National Commission on Culture (NCC) has reacted to the growing trend of in cross-dressing among men who create content on TikTok.
These concerns from the NCC intensified following reports of several male content creators making headlines in Kumasi at the Ridge Condos All Black Party, where they dressed and accessorized in a manner typically associated with women.
Dr. Richardson Commey Fio, Deputy Executive Director of the NCC, expressed his deep worries about this trend during an interview with Graphic Showbiz.
He condemned the behavior as contrary to Ghanaian cultural values, stating, “It is very disappointing that we continue to experience such behaviours that are an affront to our rich cultural values and norms.”
He further remarked, “What happened in Kumasi is a total disrespect to our Ghanaian culture and more directly an insult to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Manhyia, and all custodians of culture in the Ashanti Region and Ghana at large.”
