“Don’t ever mention my name in ur ug*y life again” – Bobrisky blows hot after VeryDarkMan claimed he is dating top politicians in Nigeria
Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky, has lambasted controversial social media commentator, Very Dark Man a.k.a VDM, for claiming that he is sleeping with top senators and lawmakers in Nigeria.
VDM made this accusation while responding to the backlash faced by another crossdresser who disclosed that he discovered that he was gay at a young age.
According to VDM, Nigerians are hypocrites for criticizing the young man while being lenient with Bobrisky.

He further alleged that Bobrisky is dating top politicians in Nigeria, which explains why he has not been arrested, despite the law stating that homosexuality is a crime punishable by 14 years in prison.
Bobrisky was clearly angered by these allegations and took to social media to rebuke VDM, warning him to refrain from mentioning his name.

He also accused VDM of living a useless and reckless life, hence the reason why his sex tape is plastered all over the internet, whereas his sextapes are not online.
Bobrisky captioned the post,
“Now let me lecture that good for nothing cow called very dark struggling boy.
Don’t ever mention my name in ur ug*y life again. Address ur issues but don’t ever mention my name or compare me to no one . Listen and read dis again me i will deal with you.

“PSquare almost signed Iyanya but I canceled the deal because they disrespected me” – Ubi Franklin (Video)
Popular music executive, Ubi Franklin has revealed that popular music duo, PSquare (Peter and Paul Okoye) desired to sign Iyanya at the exact moment when his music career was about to take off.
The head of Triple MG said that himself and Iyanya were called to the music group’s villa for a record contract by Jude Okoye, their manager, but that they instructed him to wait outside while the ‘Kukere’ crooner entered the house.

During an Adesope Olajide-hosted episode of The Afrobeats podcast, Ubi Franklin told the tale. He said that day’s actions by PSquare damaged his ego, and he swore he would turn down any offer of 50 million dollars for Iyanya.
He claimed that when PSquare requested their email address and promised to give the contract later, he never got back to them.
He said that when Iyanya inquired as to why they had not heard from PSquare, he advised them to launch their own record label, as that was the only way that they would be taken seriously in the music business.
The talent manager revealed that Eldee, a hip-hop celebrity, made a greater offer to Iyanya around the same time, but they first preferred to sign PSquare because of the accompaniments.
Ubi said;
“We got there, Jude, Paul, and Peter told me to wait outside and called Iyanya into the house. I was boiling outside. Iyanya would have gotten that deal with PSquare but the fact that they said I should wait outside, my ego was bruised.
You know what I said to them, ‘Even if I was offered $50 million, I would reject the deal.’ Guess what Eldee’s deal was actually better than theirs.”
