Popular cross-dresser, Bobrisky has come out to say that he made James Brown who he is today.

He recently had his say during a live session he had with Daddy Freeze, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he actually posted James Brown on his page when everyone else was condemning him and calling him all sorts of names, and that made him famous.

Bobrisky added that it is sad to know that everyone coming close to him is coming for fame only, and not true friendship.

His words, ”This James Brown they are shouting, I made James Brown who he is today. I would say it anywhere. I posted James Brown on my page when every one was condemning him, calling him all sort of names. That was when he just came out. I was the person that asked him to come to my house, I gave him money. It is fine if he is who he is today. It is normal.”

“Like I said, people that are coming close to me are all coming for the same thing. They want the fame, they want the money, they want to use you, so the moment you are aware that I don’t want to be used anymore, they start fighting you, start having issues with you.”

WOW.

Bobrisky is a Nigerian internet personality and philanthropist who is known as a prominent transgender woman in Nigeria, a country with no LGBT rights. She is also known for her presence on the social media app Snapchat.

Born Okuneye Idris Olarenwaju in 1992, Bobrisky completed her secondary school education at King’s College, Lagos. She also attended graduate school at the University of Lagos (UNILAG).

She became recognized by being highly controversial on social media for the ultra conservative Nigerian standards. Bobrisky was able to gather traffic to her Snapchat account when she claimed she had a lover who is assumed to be of masculine gender despite the law in Nigeria stating that same sex relationships is an offence punishable by serving 14 years in a penitentiary.

Bobrisky has a fair share of fans and has been asked by certain event planners to give speeches at their events. In 2019, Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, Director General of Nigeria’s National Council for Arts and Culture, called Bobrisky “a national disgrace” and said she would be “dealt with ruthlessly” if caught on the streets.
