The son of singer, Nigerian-British singer Sade Adu and American-Jamaican music producer, Bob Morgan, has been getting massive support online from fans who have followed his journey, from when he came out as a lesbian, to his decision to make a transition

He has opened up on his becoming a man. “I am proud of who I am and I’m proud of how far I’ve come,” said Ila who was assigned female at birth, and he added, in various hashtags, that he is a ‘self made man, a happy boy.”

Nothing has been heard of his mother since she left the spotlight, but Ila continues to wax stronger and occasionally, he posts his photos with his partner, Josephine.

Mickailia ‘Ila’ Adu reportedly suffered gender dysphoria, a condition where one psychologically and emotionally feels like the opposite of their biological sex.
