And this is not unlike the celebrities on Instagram who make money from selling other people’s products such as slimming teas, dieting pills and waist shapers (The Kardashians, Ariana Grande, etc.). His body is his advertisement, “I represent what I’m selling,” he tells Adesuwa during the interview. He is selling his products (skin bleaching items, clothing and makeup) through himself. After all, “how can he be queer and support Nigeria’s anti-gay laws” you ask? While you also demand that he come out as gay and stop lying.īut according to Bobrisky, all he wants to do is make money. You might even critique him for having bad politics. Or rather, you do not find the answer satisfying. You still search for more answers that you did not get during the 54 minutes where he unveiled who he really is. These are the questions you post on social media or in the comments section on Linda Ikeji after Bobrisky’s aforementioned live Facebook interview. But not quite, as you continue to ask friends ‘Do you really think this Senator Bae fiasco is fake?’ In fact, you must closely investigate his images to uncover that Bobrisky is parked outside of Diamond Bank, while the ID badge on the employee he claims is looking for his cash is someone who works at Ecobank, and the bands around the Naira are from Guaranty Trust Bank.

But whether or not he truly has a ‘Senator Bae’? You must know, now. The fact that he associates darkness with unhappiness? Boring. The question of his sexuality appears to be far more interesting to you, who seem at best minimally critical of his bleaching journey and business selling bleaching creams. Even after the Snapchat personality explains that ‘Outside Nigeria, like UK, America, they don’t find it new’ you still don’t quite understand how a man who insists he is not gay, could dress up as a woman or wear makeup on occasion. I think it is because of my look”, you and Adesuwa still do not buy his answer. In a playful, yet aggressive live Facebook interview, Adesuwa Onyenokwe of Today’s Woman magazine had trouble making it five minutes without repeatedly asking Bobrisky if he was gay. He’s only the performer where the true production lies with the audience, happily swiping through updates every hour to explore what it means to be free, something you likely find scary and intimidating - a sexuality and identity undiscovered.Ģ5-year-old Idris ‘Bobrisky’ Okuneye is not transsexual or gay, but he’s something else that has yet to be defined in Nigerian consciousness - queer (queer connotes a sexual identity that is not heterosexual or cisgender). And you shouldn’t, because the art of Bobrisky’s rise to Snapchat fame is really about you. You might not understand who he is, but you can’t look away. Sometimes he’s angry- letting you know that if you send him negative messages he will ‘’ f - king block you.” And once in a while, he’s happy, telling you to ‘just live your life.’ If you’re a woman in Nigeria maybe your first thought is,’ Hold on - his makeup looks better than mine!’ If you’re a cis man (a person whose self-identity conforms with the gender that corresponds to their biological sex) in Nigeria, maybe you’re thinking ‘what kind of nonsense is this?’ But you keep following ‘ Bobrisky’ because you find him entertaining, repulsive, interesting, or all of the aforementioned. He might share some advice about dating or throw playful shade. Other times he tells you about his trips to the bank to pick up money deposited from his ‘Senator Bae’.

Sometimes he just looks at you, batting his lashes while showing fresh angles so you can see the full extent of his ‘fleekness’. His lashes are exaggerated and full, and his eye shadow has a crease that many would envy. His body is small, yet bigger in the chest than you’d imagine and his face is adorned with exquisitely blended makeup - contouring at its best. You see a snap of a man with an extremely light complexion. You’re sitting in front of your laptop at work, at home, at a cafe, or socializing with a group of friends and you check your Snapchat.
