I’m straight, but I like gays' – Stylist Keliiy Morgan addresses sexuality misconceptions

Fashion stylist Keliiy Morgan has addressed misconceptions about his sexuality in an interview on Behind the Hustle on 3Xtra. The Ghanaian stylist, who is straight, clarified that many people assume all fashion stylists are gay, but this is not true. He emphasized his commitment to becoming the best fashion stylist across Ghana and the world.

Keliiy also opened up about various challenges he has encountered in his career, including job losses to people he trusted and instances of his work being used without proper payment. One of his most frustrating experiences was when directors would promise him projects but ultimately give them to other people, often when he needed the work the most.

Additionally, he revealed that he has faced unfair practices, such as having his work used without payment by bigger directors who claimed it as collaboration. Keliiy also spoke about betrayal from colleagues, including former assistants who approached clients and took his jobs. Despite these setbacks, the support he receives from those who see him as an inspiration has strengthened his belief in his career, affirming that styling is the path he wants to pursue.
