Nigerian crossdresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has sparked controversy with a new video in which he claims to have been romantically involved with seven celebrities. He vowed to reveal their identities while criticizing the Nigerian entertainment industry for its alleged hypocrisy.
Expressing his frustration, Bobrisky lamented the treatment he has received from politicians and celebrities, particularly his experience with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which he sees as a reflection of Nigeria’s intolerance toward individuals who challenge societal norms.
Declaring his decision to permanently leave Nigeria, he stated that he would only return for brief visits. He argued that the country’s rigid legal framework prevents him from living his truth, contrasting it with the acceptance he has found abroad.
“The time is coming when I will list seven celebrities I have dated. The time is coming when I will expose fake people in that country. They are so fake!
“I never knew I was so special until last year when ministers and senators started discussing me. Imagine a whole minister leaving work to focus on Bobrisky. Am I that important?
“If I lived in Nigeria for 100 years, they would never put ‘female’ on my passport or driver’s license. But here, I am respected for who I am.”
Bobrisky’s statements have reignited debates on personal freedom, societal acceptance, and the influence of celebrity culture in Nigeria.
