In an interview with BBC Africa, Maxine established that she was born effeminate and has long embraced her uniqueness.

''Even right at the hospital, they couldn't tell my gender. They'll be like 'is this a male or a female?' ...''

''Angel didn't go and pick anybody's lifestyle or culture. I was effeminate from birth,'' she said.

The Wo Fie hit singer reiterated her struggle with social stigma and name-calling before she owned her personality.
