Nigerian crossdresser Bobrisky has publicly declared that he will no longer accept any awards or recognitions designated for women.
This bold statement comes in the wake of a series of events that he attributes directly to an award he received from actress Eniola Ajao.
According to reports from New Daily Prime, Bobrisky was honoured with the prestigious ‘Best Dressed Female’ accolade at the premiere of Ajao’s latest movie in March 2024.
However, what should have been a moment of triumph quickly turned into a nightmare.
Shortly after receiving the award, Bobrisky was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged naira abuse during the same ceremony.
He subsequently faced a six-month incarceration as a result of these charges.
In a shocking twist, shortly after Bobrisky completed his jail term, an audio recording surfaced online that purportedly featured the crossdresser admitting to bribing EFCC officials to sidestep charges related to money laundering.
Adding to the scandal, he claimed to have served his sentence in a luxurious apartment, a revelation that triggered a firestorm of outrage across social media.
The ensuing controversy ultimately led to his re-arrest, compounding his legal troubles and further tarnishing his public image.
Following his escape from Nigerian shores, Bobrisky took to social media to assign blame for his predicament, placing the responsibility squarely on Eniola Ajao.
In a candid and reflective post shared on his Instagram Stories, he expressed his belief that all of his troubles began with the award he accepted from the actress.
“My problem started when I collected the best dressed female award with an N1 million prize,” Bobrisky lamented. “For my life, if I see an award for best-dressed female, I go disappear from that location ASAP. Everyone knows the truth that I am a baddie in class; you wanna compete with me? Your mummy never!!!! But when the problem wan too much make I run,” he added, seemingly expressing both defiance and resignation in the face of his challenges.
The unfolding drama around Bobrisky has not only captivated followers and fans but has also incited widespread discussions about the pressures and implications of gender roles within the Nigerian entertainment scene.
As an influential figure in the LGBTQ+ community, Bobrisky’s experiences highlight the ongoing struggles faced by individuals in the spotlight who do not conform to traditional gender norms.
At this time, actress Eniola Ajao has not responded to the allegations put forth by Bobrisky.
This silence only adds fuel to the fire as public speculation runs rampant regarding the intricacies of their relationship and the circumstances surrounding the awards ceremony.
As the narrative continues to evolve, many are left questioning the future of Bobrisky’s career and his plans moving forward.
With his recent declaration of avoiding female awards, will he redefine his presence in the industry, or will he further distance himself from the female recognition that once garnered him acclaim?
Regardless of the outcome, Bobrisky’s story serves as a reflection of the complex interplay between fame, identity, and societal expectations in contemporary Nigeria.
As the nation grapples with issues surrounding gender and sexuality, the developments in Bobrisky’s life are sure to resonate widely, sparking debates and conversations for months to come.
As this situation unfolds, fans and critics alike remain eager to see what steps Bobrisky will take next.
One thing is certain: the world will be watching closely as this crossdresser navigates the turbulent waters of fame, scandal, and identity in an industry that often embraces both brilliance and controversy in equal measure.
