“Leave Me Alone, I Don’t Do Girls”: Bobrisky Sparks Controversy with Bold Relationship Declaration

 

Nigerian internet sensation and controversial crossdresser, Bobrisky, has once again sparked a flurry of online reactions following a bold statement directed at women flooding his direct messages with romantic intentions. The social media personality, known for his flamboyant lifestyle and unfiltered commentary, made it abundantly clear that he has no interest in women, declaring that his preference lies squarely with men.

Through a post shared across his platforms, Bobrisky vented his frustration about the influx of messages he receives from female admirers, bluntly stating, “I don’t do girls, so many of you are in my dm. I too love Gbola. I will pick gbola over my own life. We can be strictly friends but nothing more…” His unapologetic stance quickly ignited a firestorm of comments from fans, critics, and casual observers alike.

The socialite’s declaration not only reasserted his sexual orientation but also served as a public rejection of advances from women who, despite his well-publicized identity, continue to reach out with romantic hopes. His blunt tone and explicit language—particularly his reference to “Gbola,” a slang term for the male genitalia—left no room for ambiguity.

Online, the backlash was swift and varied. While some found humor in his brazen expression, others expressed outrage and concern over what they believe to be Bobrisky’s negative influence on Nigerian youth and society at large.

A user identified as portablebaeby issued a provocative challenge, commenting, “Na una dey give this guy chance if you get mind come Sango Ota,” daring Bobrisky to show up in the gritty suburbs of Lagos known for its more traditional sentiments.

Another commentator, happiokos_comedy, turned the criticism toward the media, stating, “Bloggers are part of the problems we have in this country 🤦🏾.” This sentiment reflects a growing frustration among some Nigerians who believe that digital platforms amplify individuals like Bobrisky while neglecting to spotlight more “constructive” voices in the community.

The intensity of criticism escalated further with remarks such as that of moziano_movenchy, who simply said, “I pour you spit tueeeeeee,” a traditional Nigerian expression of deep disdain.

Perhaps the harshest criticism came from johnjoy295, who not only insulted Bobrisky but also called for legal action: “Make dem arrest this werey abeg 👏 he don too spoil a lot of young boys with him werey things 😢 and I also blame bloggers for posting the foôl.” The use of “werey”—a Yoruba term for someone considered mentally unstable or foolish—underscores the emotional weight Bobrisky’s persona carries in certain cultural circles.

Despite the uproar, this isn’t the first time Bobrisky has found himself at the center of controversy. His rise to fame has largely been propelled by his unapologetic embrace of his identity, his openness about his preferences, and a consistent ability to command attention online. He has positioned himself as a symbol of defiance in a society where LGBTQ+ rights remain largely marginalized and social norms rigid.

Supporters of Bobrisky often view him as a trailblazer who is challenging the status quo and forcing uncomfortable yet necessary conversations about gender identity, sexuality, and freedom of expression. Critics, on the other hand, argue that his flamboyance and bold expressions cross the line into inappropriate and damaging territory, especially in a country where cultural and religious values remain conservative.

This latest declaration may not mark a new chapter in Bobrisky’s story, but it certainly reinforces his unbending narrative—he will not conform to societal expectations, nor will he entertain those who misunderstand or choose to ignore his identity. His message to female admirers was not just a personal boundary, but a public affirmation of who he is, for better or worse.

As the online storm continues to brew, one thing is clear: Bobrisky’s voice—love it or loathe it—remains one of the most talked about in Nigeria’s digital culture. Whether seen as a provocateur, an influencer, or a social disruptor, he continues to command attention in a space where very few dare to tread.
