In the dazzling world of Nigerian entertainment, one name continues to steal the spotlight—Bobrisky! But this time, it’s not just about his jaw-dropping looks or bold social media presence. It’s a real-life drama filled with power, scandal, and a high-profile prison sentence that has everyone buzzing
It all started at the star-studded premiere of Ajakaju, where Bobrisky, the self-proclaimed ‘Mummy of Lagos,’ was caught on camera spraying over N490,000 worth of naira notes. That viral moment sparked an investigation by the EFCC, leading to a shocking six-month prison sentence for defacing the currency.
Bobrisky pleaded guilty and was sent straight to prison, but according to him, this was never about the naira. The controversial social media icon claims his her his her (sighs) her punishment was rooted in Nigeria’s discomfort with his flamboyant lifestyle—a bold challenge to the country’s deeply conservative values.” Hmm, that one entered
Despite the prison stint, Bobrisky’s brand is far from dimmed. With millions of followers and partnerships with beauty and fashion brands, Bobrisky has built an empire on shock value, influencing a new generation while pushing the boundaries of gender and identity in Nigeria
But the story doesn’t end there! Don’t play- VeryDarkMan, a social media activist who dropped an explosive bombshell—a leaked audio accusing Bobrisky of bribing EFCC officials with N15 million to drop money laundering charges. VDM claims that Bobrisky never spent a single night behind bars!
This allegation set off a firestorm, leading to an official investigation by Nigeria’s House of Representatives. The hearing, with VDM in attendance, sparked heated discussions as Bobrisky’s camp swiftly denied the claims, calling the leaked audio a fabricated piece of AI trickery. Is that possible, well anything can fly in this AI age.
And in true Bobrisky fashion, the drama continued! Just hours after his release from prison in August, he threw a lavish party with Nigeria’s elite, proving that even scandal can’t dull his shine. But the storm isn’t over yet.
With big names like Femi Falana and his son, Falz, now being dragged into the controversy, Bobrisky’s prison saga has become a full-blown national conversation—one that’s raising questions about power, influence, and the very fabric of Nigerian society

His bold persona continues to capture attention, proving that in today’s world of entertainment, controversy can amplify brand visibility.
