So many things come out as a surprise, however, the news of your favourite youtube makeup star being a transgender is not just surprising, it is shocking and leaves you in absolute flabbergastation.

Nikkie de Jager, a YouTube star better known as by her online persona NikkieTutorials, uploaded a very personal message to her fans on Monday revealing she is transgender.

She added that she was making the admission under the threat of blackmail and chose to tell her fans herself instead.

The 25-year-old makeup artist and beauty vlogger has been creating makeup tutorials online for over a decade, where she ranks among the top in the popular category.

On Monday, she posted a 17-minute video titled “I’m Coming Out” on her Youtube channel in a report by CNN.

In the 17-minute video, she says:

“Today I am here to share something with you that I’ve always wanted to share with you one day, but under my own circumstances, and it looks like that chance has been taken away from me, so today, I am taking back my own power and I have to tell you something. It’s time to let go and be truly free when I was younger I was born in the wrong body, which means that I am transgender. I am NikkieTutorials, and I am Nikkie. I am me. We don’t need labels. But if we are going to put a label on it, yes, I am transgender. But at the end of the day, I am me, by the age of seven or eight I fully wore girl’s clothes only and it felt amazing.”

She further reveals she fully transitioned at the age of 19.

NikkieTutorials has amassed over 12 million subscribers on her Youtube channel with her makeup tutorials and reviews. This video alone has been viewed over eight million times and counting. Watch video below:
