Controversial Nigerian socialite Bobrisky, also known as Afolashade Amope, has once again stirred up online conversations by reaffirming his identity as a woman.
In a recent Instagram post, Bobrisky disclosed that he has completed a series of gender modification procedures, stating that he now functions like a typical woman, even in intimate relationships. He called on critics and the public to respect his chosen gender and name, asserting that he is no longer male.
“It’s time y’all accept Bob is now a woman. I’ve done everything. Congratulations to me — I can now collect gbola like we all women do. I’m proud of myself. Not even one billion trolls will stop me from getting everything I want. Afolashade Amope, you won.”
Anticipating backlash, Bobrisky addressed the issue of not having a womb, saying that he doesn’t need one to live his life fully. He praised the financial support he receives from married men, claiming that he helps keep their marriages intact by avoiding complications like unwanted pregnancies.
“Before you open your dirty mouth to ask if I have a womb — I don’t need it. I love how these married men spend heavily on me. I don’t have to keep unwanted children that would destroy their homes. I’m here to keep marriages intact.”
His statements have reignited debates across social media about gender identity, personal freedom, and societal acceptance in Nigeria. While many applauded his bravery and self-expression, others criticized his message, reflecting the country’s ongoing cultural divide on LGBTQ+ issues.
