Nigerian gospel minister Lawrence Oyor has expressed shock after seeing popular crossdresser Bobrisky singing his hit song Favour.
Oyor, known for his inspirational gospel music, admitted that he had to replay the video several times to process what he had just witnessed.
In a video shared online, Oyor described his reaction as disbelief. He never expected someone like Bobrisky to be familiar with his music, let alone sing along to it.
The gospel singer even joked that he almost denied ownership of the song because of the unexpected nature of the moment.
“A very risky Bob”
Oyor recounted his feelings while watching the clip. “I saw one of our guys—the most unexpected guy on the internet—singing Favour,” he said. “I almost denied the song. I know some of you didn’t see it, but somehow it got to me. Somebody sent it to me.”
The gospel minister then went on to describe Bobrisky in a way that played on the crossdresser’s name. “I saw Bob, a very risky Bob, singing Favour,” he added. “I had to watch it like three times. The shock! You too? I have never doubted myself like that before. How?”
A moment of reflection
Oyor’s words suggested that the moment left him questioning how his music had reached such an unexpected audience.
As a gospel minister, he likely never imagined that his message of faith and inspiration would resonate with someone like Bobrisky, a figure known for controversial takes on gender identity and social issues.
Despite his initial shock, Oyor did not express any outright disapproval. Instead, his reaction appeared to be a mix of surprise and humour.
Many of his followers found the exchange amusing, with some suggesting that music has the power to reach all kinds of people, regardless of background or beliefs.

Bobrisky, who is widely known for their social media presence and bold personality, has often been at the center of public discussions. Seeing them engage with a gospel song like Favour might have been surprising to Oyor, but it also speaks to the universality of music.

Some found the situation humorous, while others saw it as a sign that gospel music can touch lives in unexpected ways. A few even encouraged Oyor to see it as a positive thing, as his message of faith was reaching diverse audiences.
One user commented, “God works in mysterious ways. Even Bobrisky is singing Favour—this is proof that gospel music is powerful!” Another added, “Oyor should be happy. His song is making waves beyond church circles.”
