The rumour mill that Big Zulu is ‘gay’ emanated after so much ‘evidence’ was noted on his media collage.
The Imali Eningi hitmaker always has a tendency of updating unique standing poses on his online gallery. Some of these poses have turned back on him and created inundating canards that he was part of the rainbow community.
It is a norm for the female gender and those that identify as female or with female tie-ups to take pictures standing in certain poses that are traditionally identified as theirs, and not used by another gender(s).
It is in this regard that social users allude that Big Zulu is gay as his poses give female telltale clues. This prompted many to assume that he might be gay.
