Crossdresser Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, has set social media ablaze with a bold claim of having had intimate relationships with seven Nigerian celebrities. The revelation came in a viral video where the flamboyant personality, renowned for his outspoken nature, addressed the betrayals he says drove him into self-imposed exile from Nigeria. In the same breath, Bobrisky promised to expose these celebrities, branding them as “fake” figures within the Nigerian entertainment industry.
“The time is coming when I will list seven celebrities I have dated in Nigeria. The time is coming when I will expose fake people in that country,” he declared, hinting at a forthcoming tell-all that has already sparked widespread speculation. While Bobrisky did not name names in the video, his provocative statement has fueled curiosity and debate among fans and detractors alike.
The announcement dovetails with Bobrisky’s reflections on his tumultuous experiences in Nigeria, particularly his high-profile clash with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in 2024. Following a six-month prison stint for naira abuse and subsequent bribery allegations—which he denies—the crossdresser faced condemnation from some celebrities and politicians. He expressed exasperation at the attention, noting, “I never knew I was so special until last year when ministers and senators started discussing me. Imagine a minister leaving work to focus on Bobrisky. Am I that important?”
Bobrisky’s frustration extends beyond personal grievances to Nigeria’s refusal to recognize his gender identity. “If I lived in Nigeria for 100 years, they would never put ‘female’ on my passport or driver’s license,” he lamented, contrasting this with his current reality abroad. “But here, I’m respected for who I am,” he added, underscoring his decision to relocate to a country he claims offers the acceptance Nigeria denied him.
The video ties into Bobrisky’s broader narrative of departure from Nigeria, a move he attributes to relentless bullying by officials and societal judgment. His claims of romantic links with celebrities add a new layer to his ongoing saga, which has already seen him recount past controversies—like impregnating a woman during his university days—and assert his appeal to billionaires over conventional “baddies.” Whether Bobrisky follows through on his threat to name the seven celebrities remains to be seen, but the declaration has undeniably cemented his status as a lightning rod in Nigeria’s cultural discourse.
