From Idris Okuneye Olanrewaju to Bobrisky, this controversial cross-dresser and social media star has proven to be a non-conformist. She admitted that becoming a woman is part of a strategy to gain wealth and be famous. Criticised, shamed and mocked by social media users, here’s how Idris became Bobrisky.
If you are a regular Instagram or TikTok user, you might have come across Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju popularly known as Bobrisky. Her cross-dressing tendencies and her propensity to identify as a woman earned her fame in a country where such behaviours are frowned upon.
Born on 31 August 1991 as a boy in Ebuta Metta, Lagos, Bobrisky was raised in a Muslim family. His father Alhaji Musibau Okuneye who is from Ogun state was a polygamous man. He had three wives. Bobrisky is the last born of three children and the daughter of the last wife of his father. Not much is known about Bobrisky’s siblings.
Bobrisky’s parents separated when she was young. Her father, a retired transporter took the decision due to problems with Bobrisky’s mother, Alhaja Bollington. According to an interview she did with a local publication, they agreed that she will be raised with her mother and her siblings with her father.
Bobrisky had a preference for feminine things from a young age. She disclosed that she used to wear her mum’s weave, do house chores and activities normally associated with women. Her mother was tough on her because of her behaviour but later embarrassed her.
Bobrisky would later move back in with her father after her mother died while attending the Hajj pilgrimage.
Bobrisky’s father might not have been around but her mother managed to send her to primary and secondary school. She later attended the University of Lagos (UNILAG) where she graduated with an accounting degree.
Bobrisky’s rise to fame is like no other. Before that, she sold men’s and women’s clothing as a result of her love for fashion. This was when she was still in university and went by her birth name Idris Okuneye. After she graduated, she moved to Lekki Phase One. It was after Idris Olanrewaju managed to buy a house for herself that she laid down plans for her next business venture.
She was not satisfied with the amount of money she was making thus began exploring the idea of cross-dressing. Her motivation, she said is to be rich and famous. She took to Snapchat and began posting pictures of herself in feminine clothes.
Bobrisky pictures caught people’s attention as she left people questioning whether she was a man or woman. Her Snapchat page blew up and became an internet sensation. Now she makes big money from her image.
Bobrisky is not afraid to admit that crossdressing is just a strategy to make money. It all started after she left university in 2016 when she eventually decided to be a crossdresser. As her social media pages gained followers, Bobrisky contemplated going for body reconstruction surgeries.
She mauled over the decision and finally made up her mind in 2021. She got liposuction surgery and has since gone through other procedures like breast implants and face transformations to give her a more feminine appearance.
There are numerous pictures of Bobrisky’s real face online. The difference between Idris and Bobrisky is obvious. She has undergone multiple surgeries to give her a more feminine look.
She also uses skin whitening creams hence her light complexion. Is there a day she goes without makeup? She has to keep up with the image she has created to keep making money.
And if you need proof, she posted a picture of when she was Idris and compared it with Bobrisky. Click here
“Money is everything” well, whether or not you agree with Bobrisky or not, that’s probably true. That’s been her pursuit and she’s been making a tonne of it. In an online interview, she revealed that she charges upwards of 50 million Naira to influence brands depending on the brand.
She also makes money from her personal business - selling men and women’s clothing. She has a skin whitening cream that costs upwards of 100,000 Naira.
We have explored Bobrisky’s family in the “Personal life” section. Here, we will look at the impact her decision to be a crossdresser has had on her relationship with her family.
Well, Bobrisky disclosed that her father was not comfortable with her decision at the beginning. Despite the differences, she discussed her motives with him - it’s all about business - and she now says that her father supports her.
As for her mother, Bobrisky says that she was her biggest supporter and let her do whatever she wanted. Unfortunately, her mother died in 2014 in Mecca while attending the Hajj pilgrimage.
As for her siblings, not much is known about them.
Bobrisky finally revealed the identity of her man popularly referred to as bae. Henry Ike is the man and as per his Instagram page, he is in the business of real estate, a musician, and CEO of two companies.
She made the news via her Instagram page where she professed her love for him. They are not married and whether he’s going to be Bobrisky’s husband, only time will tell.
However, in 2018, Bobrisky caused a stir when she posted about her upcoming wedding on her Instagram page. Bobrisky’s wedding pictures in which she’s in an expensive traditional wedding attire made rounds. People waited with bated breath as Bobrisky’s wedding photos kept rolling.
But who was she getting married to or marrying? Well, Bobrisky has made it clear on several occasions that she would marry a woman but we aren’t close to finding out who Bobrisky’s wife is.
Despite her revealing that she is in a relationship with a man, questions still linger about her gender. Bobrisky says that people close to her can identify her the way they like but strangers have to address her the way she wants to. She’s made it known that she prefers identifying as a woman despite being born a man.
In an angry Instagram post in 2017, Bobrisky admitted to being gay. However, he has also denied being gay despite being in a relationship with a man.
By now you will know that Bobrisky lives for nothing but controversy. Her reputation alone has been built on it so it's no surprise that she's been involved in quite a number of controversies. Here are some:
Bobrisky and Tonto Dikeh are former best friends and have been airing each other's dirty laundry in public. Bobrisky accused Tonto of not paying up some 5 million naira she owes her. She revealed this after Tonto showed off her new man on social media.
But the feud between the two runs deep.
Tonto posted a suggestive message on Instagram in which she referred to an unnamed person as a jealous demon. She didn’t need to put the name out there as people could fill it in for themselves.
In response, Bobrisky referred to Tonto as wicked for speaking ill of her when she owes her money. This culminated in Tonto unfollowing Bobrisky on Instagram while she blocked Tonto on Instagram.
Bobrisky came down hard on her female haters on Instagram. After revealing her latest butt implant, she dubbed herself as the ‘mother of money making’ to all the women who criticise her.
The controversial crossdresser issued a rare apology to Dubai based businessman Ismaila Mustapha aka Mompha after he threatened to sue Bobrisky for defamation. Bobrisky took the fall after her former personal assistant said the two were ex-lovers. Further, the businessman was also angered by the rumours he said Bobrisky spread to smear his name.
The socialite released a statement in which she described Mompha as a brother and admitted to disrespecting him. Bobrisky debunked the claims that they were lovers. She asked for forgiveness but in Bobrisky fashion, she also told Mompha that he could go ahead and file a lawsuit if he wanted.
Following her declaration in 2019 that she is gay, Bobrisky was declared a national disgrace by the Director-General of Nigeria’s National Council for Arts and Culture Otunba Olusegun Runsewe. He sent her a stern warning that should she go out in public, “she’d be dealt with appropriately".
Bobrisky is not afraid to spend her millions. Amongst the things she spends on is cars. These are the cars she owns:
Mercedez Benz GLE CLA250,
2019 Range Rover,
Mercedez Benz ML500,
Mercedez Benz G-Wagon Brabus G63
Mercedez Benz GLE43 AMG 4MATIC Coupe.
In 2018, Bobrisky bought herself a mansion in Chevron, Lekki Lagos. This is a five-bedroom house that reportedly cost 400 million nairas.
