A man in India, Karan Sidhu, popularly known as Tattoographer has become the first man in India to tattoo the whites of his eyes completely.
The 28-year-old man disclosed that tattooing one’s eyeballs is the most painful place to get a tattoo but for him, he had his own eyes open when he had the procedure done in September.
The healing process for this is a nasty one, as imagined. It had to be done in two steps a few days apart to allow the eyes to rest, and Karan had to wear sunglasses afterwards as the sun burned.
As well as this, his eyes were swollen for a week. However, Karan is more than happy with the results.
He says; “It was exhilarating and amazing. I feel this is the most elite thing one can do in body modification. I was amazed when I first saw myself in the mirror. It looks amazing. I’d never felt so proud.”
He’s also currently single, so if you like a man with very VERY dark eyes, it might be time to give Karan a go.
He added: “I’m still amazed when I see myself like this,’ he said. ‘It needs both courage and passion to do something like this. It’s not easy but not difficult either. You need to know what you want. It is all about looking and feeling different.”
In an exclusive chat with Pulse, Nigerian singer Kiss Daniel has revealed that he is set to leave his record label, G-Worldwide Entertainment.
The popular singer says he’s moving on to set up his own label where he’ll continue to function as an artiste and now as a CEO.
He said: “All is set for the take-off of “FLY BOY I.N.C” which is my label. This implies that all activities regarding Kiss Daniel will be carried out under this new arrangement.”
The singer who signed to G-Worldwide Entertainment in 2013 and went on to release hit singles such as ‘Woju’, ‘Laye’, ‘Good Time’, and ‘Mama’ further revealed that it is an important move for his career.
He said: “This is an important move for me and I sincerely want to thank the fans who have always been there for me and also the media for their constant support.”
Recall, the success of debut album ‘New Era’ released in 2016 led to Kiss Daniel winning three awards at the 2016 Headies, ‘Hip Hop World Revelation’, ‘Best R&B/Pop album’ and ‘Album of the Year’.
Kiss Daniel’s relationship with his label G-Worldwide Entertainment led by Festus Ehimare popularly known as Emperor Geezy raised a few eyebrows.
Although, there have been unconfirmed reports of financial mismanagement in the label which came up in 2015 which reveals the label exerting too much control on Kiss Daniel thereby stifling his growth and influence in the music scene.
However, Kiss Daniel says all is well with G-Worldwide and that he’s grateful to the label for giving him a platform to showcase his talents to the world.
According to him, now was the right time for him to leave G-Worldwide Entertainment after the label had helped him establish himself in the music scene.
He said:
“I’ll always appreciate the role G- Worldwide has played so far but it’s time to take this to a whole new level” states the hit singer.
“Expect nothing short of the quality sound you know Kiss Daniel for. This move will only make things better as I look forward to greater years ahead”
Pulse.ng then reached out to G-Worldwide Entertainment for a comment, Louiza Williams who was Kiss Daniel’s manager brought in by the label says “sorry we can’t talk about that right now” on his departure.
Just weeks after Tekno copped for himself, a Jeep wrangler, MMMG Boss Ubi Franklin have taken to social media to show off their newly acquired identical Range rovers.
The TrippleMG boss took to Instagram to show it off, saying “We took our Nu Nu for a spin ??Joined the Bigbody Gang @teknoofficial”.
Recall, Singer Dammy Krane recently shaded Tekno, tells him to stop borrowing cars to deceive fans on Social Media.
Although, no name was mentioned, but then, it’s safe to assume the shade was directed at Triple MG Singer, Tekno.
Dammy took to his Snapchat to throw a shade at someone, who apparently, has been “posing” with other people’s cars parked in his compound.
It’s worthy to note, that Tekno, recently copped for himself, a Jeep wrangler, and shared a photo of himself posing with it and another car in his home.
Dammy wrote; “Duck head”, a term used to describe Tekno, “always parking peoples cars in his compound to deceive fans abi na promo …. because Runtown get lambo. Go and Buy a House”.
Knowing the history between them, especially the controversy started by Krane recently over copying of hairstyles, it’s safe to assume that the shade was directed at Tekno.
Veteran Nollywood actress, Sandra Achums who’s based in Germany with her husband has just welcomed a bouncing baby boy, named Ryan.
Well, there are quite a number of old faces in Nollywood that are no longer heard of in the industry – for some, its because they are into other businesses or marriage have taken them away like this beautiful actress.
Recall, back in the early Nollywood days, Sandra and other stars were the hot cake in the industry that many always wanted to see.
Even some movie producers also scramble to have their faces on their productions…no matter where they are today, they have really made a mark in the industry that has grown so fast and their names will never be forgotten.
The love story between Nigerian singer, Banky W and Actress Adesua Etomi is one which has blossomed to the admiration of many.
It has always been the wish and dream that these guys end up together since we saw them together in the blockbuster movie, The Wedding Party. Well, that dream and aspiration were brought to reality when Banky W earlier in the year shocked everyone with their engagement.
In a world where celebrities are known for controversies especially their relationships which sometimes includes their romantic relationships and marriages, Banky W and Adesua Etomi have been able to distant themselves from gossip tabloids. Rather it’s been one romantic gesture from these guys or the pictures of them showing us how love is supposed to be like.
Sadly we all know for every good thing there must times of trials or temptations as in recently revealed by Banky W. Lovers and fans of Banky W got the shocker of their lives when he showed pictures of his recovery process after a skin cancer surgery.
The sweetest part apart from the fact that he is recuperating so fast is the way Adesua has been by his side all through this difficult period. Even Banky W couldn’t hide his appreciation for Adesua’s care as he jokingly addresses her as his “Nurse Susu” in his Instagram post.
Trust a lot of people would say if this would be a stumbling block to their wedding plans which is just around the corner.
Well, that is absolutely wrong as you might be surprised that even if this might have distracted them from the wedding preparations and the release of the sequel to the blockbuster movie, The Wedding Party, these guys would come out strong and have one happily ever after story.
Many weeks ago, a 100-level Student of the University of Ibadan, Damilola went viral after her n-ude pictures and mast*rbation video were leaked.
According to different sources, the indecent photos and videos were leaked by a disgruntled ex. While others said she sent it to different guys… and was later casted.
Though we didn’t post the story then, but according to our trusted source, the guy who leaked the n-ude pictures and masturbation video is a close friend to Dami.
He paid Dami a visit, checked through her phone, and found the indecent images there.. He then transferred it to his phone, and waited for when he can, apparently use it against her.
Trouble came for Dami when she then beefed the Guy’s girlfriend..and he released the pictures… You can search for it on google.. You’d see them.
Now, Dami has again found herself in another controversy, this time she’s been accused of stealing, and having a charm with blood in her bag.
A source to spoke to YabaLeftOnline said, occupants of Awo Hall in the University were searching for some missing phone, when her room was searched… Lo and Behold, the phones were found in her room, and they stumbled upon a charm dripping with blood in her bag.
The story is currently trending in the University, with many demanding for the student to be suspended.
They have since handed her over to the School’s security.
A source who pleaded anonymity said; “When I was coming back to the hall(Awo Hall), I was hearing shouts. I did not know what was going on. When i entered the hall, I heard that they’ve found the bag and two out of the three phones. They said that they also found charms in her bag, and the charms were dripping blood. They carried her to Porter’s LODGE. Awoites came downstairs that they must deal with her. They now said that they would throw teargas and we said teargas keh, because of thief? They then said that anyone still outside will receive SDC letter, who wan receive letter? So we all went back to our rooms”
Self acclaimed Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu has taken to social media to shade the heck out of OAP Daddy Freeze over his tithing controversy.
The actor who shared a picture collage of himself alongside Apostle Suleiman and Daddy Freeze, disclosed that Nigerians will take Freeze more seriously if he fixes his marriage with his first wife and mother of his two kids, Opeyemi.
He wrote:
Nigerians will #listen to you on tithes, if only you can fix your #marriage with Opeyemi ?? @daddyfreeze Charity they say begins at #home, you spend so much time and energy writing against tithe on #instagram, but if only you can save just half of this #energy into finding a solution to fixing your marriage, maybe, we can start taking you serious. @daddyfreeze Apostle Suleman is like a #father to me, but you made me #laugh??
When you said you wanted a debate with him,? that thought pattern is obviously above your pay grade sir, but of course, even spiritual rascality is allowed in a #country like #Nigeria,? but first things first, work on fixing your marriage with Opeyemi, maybe, Nigerians will start taking you serious, its just simple and pure logic, you can’t fix our #Religion, if you are not matured enough to fixing or saving your own marriage.? #repost #cool#nollywood #pics #actor #blogger #naija#good #wife

Big Brother Naija former housemate, Tboss has shared on her Social Media page, some photos she recently took with Actor, Richard Mofe Damijo.
The reality TV star revealed how elated she was after she bumped into the actor, as she even went as far as embarrassing him with her excitement.
She shared the photos and wrote;
Confession time: So I usually don’t get embarrassed, but I do have 2 experiences that really left my face burning with shame & this is the 3rd one although it’s looking like it’s gone right to the Top!
The other day I bumped into @mofedamijo& My oh My I know I embarrassed him cos I’m such a fan. Like y’all don’t even wanna know the details??I’m still ashamed at myself but luckily He was super cool about it?.?
Barely two weeks to the commencement of his one year National Youth Service Scheme, a graduate of the Yaba College of Technology, Oluwamuyiwa Oluwagbemileke, aka Spartacus, ended his life.
The 27-year-old graduate of electrical engineering reportedly took a poison on Wednesday after he was blamed for damaging a car in a sachet water factory in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, where he worked.
PUNCH Metro learnt that he had hit the vehicle on another one on the factory premises while trying to help the owner re-park it.
The Osogbo, Osun State indigene, was said to have become desperate to raise N50,000 to repair the damaged car.
In a suicide note he posted on Facebook, a few hours before the incident, he hinted that he was depressed.
He wrote, “When a man’s life is unstable, worried, downcast and destabilised, things he does right before will become wrong no matter the best he puts in. He loses focus and strength; he becomes unhappy and angry at everything even if he tries to wear a smiling face.
“Thoughts of death will come in the scene. He keeps asking the question, ‘why me?’ He becomes helpless and even if he’s among people, he still feels lonely. Life can be truly unfair.
“Advice: Never let your ugly situations weigh you down. When you notice things are not going well, check yourself before it makes you feel worried.”
About an hour before he took the poison, he wrote another note on his Facebook wall at 10.16pm, asking his family to look after his mother.
“Please, help me stand by my mother. She’s the reason why I have lived this far. Thank you. To my loved ones,” it read.
He was buried on Saturday at the Atan Cemetery in Yaba, Lagos.
His nickname, it was learnt, evolved from his determination to become a graduate, which made him to engage in one menial job or another to sponsor himself.
His elder sister, who spoke with our correspondent on the telephone on Sunday, confirmed that he was reserved.
The woman, who did not want her name in print, said Oluwagbemileke had called her on the telephone on that day around 11am, saying he was in Osogbo and wanted to discuss an issue with her.
She said, “I was monitoring him on the telephone and asking when he would come.
“I was surprised when he told me that he was on his way back to Lagos. I asked him what he came to do in Osogbo and he said I should not worry. He promised to call me back when he got to Ibadan, Oyo State. When I didn’t see his call, I called him and he said he had boarded a bus en route to Lagos. I asked him what happened. He said he would call me when he got home. I called him several times, but he said he was not at home, not knowing that he was lying. After he didn’t pick my calls again, I went to bed.”
The sister said she called him about 15 times the following day, but he did not pick his calls.
She said she later learnt that he had visited Osogbo to tell their mother about the damaged car, adding that the mother promised to follow him to the factory on Thursday.
She explained that their mother was preparing food for him when he left home, noting that the hard copy of the suicide note was found in his apartment at the factory in Lagos.
The sister said, “I passed out when I was told he poisoned himself. His neighbours said they received a message from him, saying he wanted to poison himself, but they did not take him seriously. His girlfriend said he was gasping when she called him around 11pm. Our mother said he typed the suicide note on his phone in her presence but she did not know the content because she has no formal education.
“I was surprised Muyiwa (Oluwagbemileke) could not wait to be celebrated. He struggled all through, but he never waited to reap the fruits of his labour. He worked as a carrier to survive. Our father died a long time ago. He was going for NYSC on November 21. He was the only graduate in our family.
“When I went to the factory, I was told that a laptop had fallen from his hands and damaged three days before he damaged the car. They must have chided him, which is normal, although his boss denied it. He was collecting over N50,000 monthly at the factory and a gym there.
“While he was living with me, if he spoilt something and I scolded him, he would abscond from home for three days and sleep in schools. At times, I would know he was the one who damaged an item, but I would still ask him. Instead of him to talk, he would just walk away from home. I would beg people to talk to him before he would return home.”
A friend of the deceased, Morountayo Akinyetun, condemned his decision, saying it betrayed his courage and hard work.
“I refuse to believe all that everyone is saying. Haha! You that always advised people to struggle. Ha! After all your up and down; the struggle from The Polytechnic, Ibadan, down to YABATECH. Why Spartacus? What message do you want to pass across to people?
“Your life affected people positively and that was why we gave you the nickname Spartacus. You didn’t care what life gave; you were a strong and courageous man….May God forgive you because what you have done is a great sin,” Akinyetun wrote on Facebook.
Another friend, with the alias Dolly Pee Pee, wrote, “Nigga, people call you Spartacus right from ND days at#the Polytechnic, Ibadan, because you were strong and courageous. What kind of silly thought came over you to commit suicide? I’m disappointed in you. Your decision weakened my day and everybody that knows you. Why didn’t you try and ask other people what they were going through maybe you could still give thanks to God for life? I’m sad and disappointed. You were a fake Spartacus.”
Martins Chika blamed Oluwagbemileke’s friends for not acting promptly after reading his post.
He said, “No one commented on this post until they heard he had died. If he had reasonable friends who know him too well, on seeing this post, they should have got in touch or go meet him to know what’s up. I am sure he would have shared his problems somehow with a close one.
“But these days, we are more busy chasing ghosts on the Internet than being friends to our friends. RIP, brother.”
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, confirmed the incident.

Lol! The trend of flaunting hard cash on social media seems to have made its way into a South African prison.
The Department of Correctional Services is investigating a security breach after a video of an inmate counting money in a cell went viral.
In the video‚ the inmate can be heard saying the R100 banknotes amount to R2 700 – “I am eating money my brother. I am not playing,” the offender tells his fellow inmate as he continued to count the notes.
The Correctional Services spokesman in Gauteng, Ofentse Morwane, said: “The department has noted with concern the video footage doing rounds on social media [showing] an offender counting money in a cell.”
He said the inmate had been identified and removed from a communal cell to a single cell while investigations continued.
The video has since grabbed attention of the prison bosses and they are not happy. The inmates are not allowed be in possession of cash under the prison’s policy.
A construction worker, identified simply as Ugochukwu from Abia State have reportedly committed suicide after drinking Sniper.
A Facebook User, Theresa Ugwuanyi who shared the story revealed that the deceased before committing suicide was cautioned by his work mates who saw him with a bottle of insecticides after he purchased it.
She wrote:
“This is a breaking story..40mins ago at Oyo street area 2 Garki Abuja
A young man named Ugochukwu from Abia state who works with a construction firm in Abuja yesterday got a bottle of Sniper.. his colleagues saw it and asked him what he was doing with a bottle of the insecticide . .he said he wanted to put it in the house to repel insects..they collected it from him that it wasn’t necessary..unknown to them he went back and got two more bottles of the insecticide and consumed it with a bottle of water..he slumped and died..most of his colleagues are crying and cursing the poor soul.. hope he finds rest where he is now.”
In an interview with News Express Nigeria, Late Biafran warlord Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu‘s son, Emeka Ojukwu Jnr. has alleged that his father was killed by his widow, Bianca.
The legal practitioner in the interview also talked about his father’s death, how his name and image have been abused, the role of his widow, Bianca and Anambra state politics.
Read excerpts from the interview below:
Is that why you have chosen not to join Obiano in his campaign for the second tenure even when, according to my sources, he had severally invited and approached you to join him, and a lot of activities are ongoing during Ezeigbo’s (post-humous) birthday celebration?
“Yes, I am aware of the invitations and I shall take my time in choosing to take a stand with the candidate of my choice.
The truth is, I cannot go on a campaign with Obiano for one final reason, and that is because of some of the people he has chosen to associate himself with; people who speak from both sides of their mouth as long as it serves their own interests.
I know that you are aware of what Bianca has been saying and I do not want to associate myself with her. This is a woman who wants to create an impression that she loved Ezeigbo, but while Ezeigbo was sick she chose not to take care of him and rather pleased herself until she got tired of waiting for him to die.
She had made many disparaging remarks about former Governor Peter Obi in an attempt to curry favour with Obiano, forgetting that when Ezeigbo was gravely ill, Obi, with the help of his friends, was able to get a private jet and took my father to England so that he could get the medical attention he received.
She forgets also that it was Peter Obi and other well-meaning folks who were instrumental in persuading the then President Goodluck Jonathan to accord my father what was, in essence, a state funeral.
I remain grateful for what he did for Ezeigbo and for the family. Keep in mind that regardless of whatever support my father might have given to him, it was not mandatory that he extend himself in that manner. After all his name is Obi and not Ojukwu.”
Coming back to politics, for a minute, I remember that she was allied with the former Governor while he had problems with (Victor) Umeh, the former National Chairman of APGA. And now she is on the side of Umeh against Obi?
Your question itself speaks volumes. Perhaps, this seeming flip-flop is due to the expediency of the moment.
What I can tell you, again, is that it seems that at a point, it became expedient to her, for Ezeigbo’s treatment to be discontinued.
As far as I am concerned, I know a man must die sooner or later. But in the case of my father, but for her actions, he would not have died that day.
In fact, his remains were not immediately released to us until an investigation was conducted, because the circumstances of his death were deemed worthy of further investigation.
We were told that because he had been ill for so long, a specific cause of death could not be ascertained and the result of the investigation was therefore inconclusive.
But as far as we are concerned, she is directly responsible for Ezeigbo’s death. I wish to say that out so that my father’s spirit will allow me to rest.
And that is why I have refused to show up, in any event, to do with Obaino’s re-election campaign in which she features prominently.
I do not want to be associated with a person whose hands are soiled with blood.
So, it looks like I’d be getting a girlfriend anytime soon, after over 3 years of being alone! Oh Wow! Now, the reason is because a new study is claiming “Being Single is deadlier than obesity”
Loneliness is deadlier than obesity and should be considered a public health risk, experts have warned.
Those with bad social connections have a 50 percent increased risk of early death compared to those with good social connections, a review of studies on loneliness suggests.
Researchers in the US looked at 218 studies into the health effects of loneliness and social isolation.
They discovered that social isolation raised a person’s risk of death by half compared to obesity, which raised the risk of death by just 30 percent.
Dr. Julianne Holt-Lunstad, lead author and professor of psychology at Brigham Young University, said: “Being connected to others socially is widely considered a fundamental human need, crucial to both well-being and survival.
“Extreme examples show infants in custodial care who lack human contact fail to thrive and often die, and indeed, social isolation or solitary confinement has been used as a form of punishment.
“Yet an increasing portion of the US population now experiences isolation regularly.”
Feeling lonely is thought to make people feel worse mentally and physically — and those who are lonely tend to suffer worse symptoms when they are unwell than those who aren’t.
A recent survey by Granset, the over-50s social networking site, found that almost three-quarters of older people in the UK are lonely and most have never spoken to someone about how they feel.
It also discovered that about 70 percent said their close friends and family would be surprised if they said they were lonely.
Recent Office of National Statistic stats show Britain is the loneliest country in Europe.
And, according to the Campaign to End Loneliness, the UK’s loneliness epidemic costs business $26 million per year for the costs associated with health outcomes and sick days.
Holt-Lunstad added: “There is robust evidence that social isolation and loneliness significantly increase risk for premature mortality, and the magnitude of the risk exceeds that of many leading health indicators.
“With an increasing aging population, the effect on public health is only anticipated to increase.
“Indeed, many nations around the world now suggest we are facing a ‘loneliness epidemic.’
“The challenge we face now is what can be done about it.”
She suggested greater priority be placed on research and resources to tackle loneliness such as social skills for children in schools.
Previous research has suggested that solitary adults reported much more severe symptoms when they were unwell.
A study by Rice University in Texas found that, while they were no more likely to catch a cold, lonely adults felt far worse when they did.
Experts said GPs should factor in a patient’s social circumstances when treating them.
A corp member has shared excruciating details on how was assaulted by some policemen in Katsina State. Identified on Facebook as, Genesis Newbreeds, he wrote;
This is what I get for serving Katsina state and Nigeria.
I never stole
I never fought or quarrel with anyone.
We had just closed from Friday church service, some were having some discussions with the pastor on our way home. Before we knew it, someone gripped me and another by our waist belts. It’s the police.
We tried to explain, “we’re corpers!” “we just left the church now!” Instead of listening to us, another came, gave us hot slaps and forced us to enter their pickup. Our pastor tried to get attention to explain we were together, they whipped him with ‘koboko’ ryt in our presence.
About 30 of us were taken to the police station. I identified myself with every I.D card I had. But nevertheless we were thrown into a stinking, cold, mosquito-infested cell room to sleep on bare floor.
About 14hrs later (d next day). I became worried and agitated, I begged them to make phone call. They refused. So I requested that my offences be read to me because I was already in a cell for hours. I told them I have a right to a phone call and to know my offence.
The next thing is that they brought out and used baton to brutalize my knees and ankles while the other was slapping me.
I have never had a police case and I’m suffering this much for serving this country.
OC Ukeje has been married to Ibukun Togonu-Bickersteth since 2014. Despite the fact that the couple live apart, it has not affected their union. Ibukun is based in Canada while OC resides mostly in Nigeria.
The actor told Sunday Scoop, “Before we got married, we had the conversations about distance. We keep in touch so that we know what we are both up to. Communication is vital in every relationship. We have a good one and that is what really matters. For us, distance is not an issue and it has many other elements other than my job.
“Marriage has been interesting. We have been able to make the long distance work. I have also learnt a lot in the process and this has made me a happy man and I intend for it to stay that way. “As an adult, you make choices and you must have thought about them, especially something like marriage. So, I don’t think I made a wrong choice on any front. Marriage has more to do with the individual. Marriage is about understanding, making compromises and companionship. And I don’t think that I have ever mentioned that my wife doesn’t understand my job.”
The Amstel Malta Box Office winner also said watching a romantic scene with his wife is not that easy.
He stated, “There’s definitely a degree of comfort, but there’s also the human side of you that hopes the scene doesn’t come off as offensive.”
On venturing into music recently, he said, “It wasn’t a specific plan from the outset, but it wasn’t accidental either; I have always been a singer. I actually started singing before becoming an actor and I worked on some personal songs of my own. When acting took over, I decided to follow that platform. So, when the opportunity to record the soundtrack for a movie came, I took it.
“I guess you can say that this is my debut as a singer. I used to be in different music groups from secondary school days till after university and most of our gigs were in churches and concerts. I don’t intend for it to be a one-off thing. I love that people have accepted this song and they love it. This has given me the extra push and motivation to continue making more beautiful music. I must also exercise the discipline to juggle both crafts.”
He, however, lamented that fame had taken away his privacy. “The perceived invincibility makes it hard to be a public figure. You really can’t enjoy your own space as much as you’d like to, and people just think you can do anything, or you have no fears or you’re always buoyant or you know every important person in the world. “Yes, it is quite a difficult life, and I am a very private person. Even though I am in an obtrusive industry, I mind my business and treat everyone with utmost respect,” he added.
When Nigerian cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, better known as ‘Bobrisky’ first emerged on the social media as a public figure, there were many questions as regards his sexuality.
But the Ogun State-born self styled ‘male barbie’ claimed he was just an entrepreneur in the cosmetic business, using an unusual method to sell his products.
In a famous interview with Potpourri, Bobrisky openly denied being gay, affirming his earlier claims that he is just a businessman.
However, series and series of posts on his Instagram page suggested otherwise because he was always insinuating of having a super rich boyfriend who is pampering him with luxury.
Though he has consistently stated that he toned his skin as an assurance to prove the efficacy of his products to prospective clients, he was arrested and publicly disgraced by the police sometime in 2011 for adorning himself like the opposite sex and through series of controversial social media posts.
His Beliefs, Love him, hate him for whatever reason you choose, he is a non-conformist, heavily criticized for his lifestyle, beliefs and controversies. Irrespective of the criticism he has had to grapple with, he has been able to do one hell of a job in stamping his personal views and beliefs on whoever cares to slug it out with him.
Guided by the mantra that it’s practically impossible to please humans no matter how hard you try, Bobrisky has created a niche for himself. Little wonder he cares less what anyone thinks about his lifestyle. Bobrisky has been known to clad himself with colorful feminine dresses. From full flowing dinner gowns to simple play wear, casual outfits, to elegant aso ebi attires, he has proven to be a showcase of feminism. Constantly rocking high heeled feminine foot wears confidently like he was naturally meant to, he boasts of being able to rock them better than the ‘so called ‘females’.
In a bid to look like the total package of a lady and also follow the fashion trend in the society, Bobrisky adorns himself in array of classy wigs, eye lashes, nails and accessories. Posts that complicate his personality Proudly styling himself the ‘baddest bitch’ and ‘Miss Bobrisky’, he was obviously ruffling the hornet’s nest. Throwing caution to the wind with reckless abandon, he once claimed to squirt for his mysterious lover who he boasts is Africa’s fourth richest man, a sexual feat most women rarely experience.
After the death of popular gay Congolese, Paul Arduad, who died after a long battle with anal cancer, Bobrisky schooled the public on how to be a successful homosexual.
He also made controversial remarks about ladies who have all the feminine endowments and are yet to have a ‘Bae’ that is rich enough to give them seven million naira and get them a house in Lekki, something he claimed to have gotten on a platter of gold.
He has also declared in a post on Snapchat, how he is going to be a beautiful bride to his mystery Bae, boasting he is a ‘billionaire’s wife’ after he posed with a 1.8million naira worth of necklace.
With his recent declaration that he is gay, it is hard to argue if it’s all been a business strategy or he is actually gay.
Messes he created along the way Irrespective of whose ox is gored; Bobrisky has earned a reputation for fighting dirty on social media.
Bobrisky versus Toyin Lawani
Bobrisky was recently arrested in Lagos and has linked his arrest to fashion entrepreneur, Toyin Lawani. The duo used to be good friends until recently when they had a fall out. Toyin made a post on Instagram sometime ago and Bobrisky who is famous for not letting whoever speaks bad of him go easily, dragged the CEO of Tiannah Empire mercilessly all over Snapchat.
Speaking to LIB, Bobrisky said Toyin directed her lawyer to write a petition against him for refusing to apologize after he insulted her on social media and also accused him of selling creams to her customers.
“Toyin Lawani asked her lawyer to write petitions against me that I worked for her and I’m selling creams to all her customers, which is a fat lie. I never worked for Toyin, She was my friend. I can’t remember ever working for Toyin or learning how to make creams from her” he said.
Bobrisky versus Denrele
Media personality, Denrele Edun, has always claimed to be the pioneer male cross-dresser but he has always been compared to Bobrisky since the latter surfaced on social media. Denrele has often kept mum regarding posts comparing him to Bobrisky until he replied a twitter user who said Bobrisky has kicked him out of stardom.
“Thanks for your analysis, but funny enough, can you define stardom? Because I’ve been gaming in the media industry since 1995! I’m not anybody’s mate!” the fashionista replied.
As expected, Bobrisky swiftly replied Denrele;
“Sit down and learn from the new boss” adding that Denrele was jealous of him.
Bobrisky versus Freeze
Also on the list is controversial OAP, Freeze who is popular for preaching and mocking men of God on social media.
The drama started after Freeze shared a video of himself playing with his son. In the video, his son asked him not to wear his mom’s shoes and Freeze replied saying he wouldn’t wear it because he was not Bobrisky.
Bobrisky being the king of clap backs, as he is quick to reply his haters, replied Freeze by calling him a stupid he-goat who is always trying hard to get his attention. He also added that he doesn’t know who Freeze is.
In reaction, Daddy Freeze, as he is commonly referred to, fired back at Bobrisky, calling him a used tampon, a bleached brain and an inanimate object.
Bobrisky versus Tunde Ednut
Erstwhile singer turned comedian, Tunde Ednut, has been in a love-hate relationship with Bobrisky for a while now, as they both find pleasure in dragging each other out on social media. Tunde being a social media curator of funny things is fond of mocking Bobrisky. He once uploaded videos that showed Bobrisky’s famous ‘mansion’ being emptied and claimed the owner of the house had ejected him because his rent had expired.
Bobrisky clapped back at Tunde revealing that the singer once asked him out. The battle of mockery continued endlessly because Tunde Ednut recently mocked him on social media saying Bobrisky has body odour.
Bobrisky versus Speed Darlington
Bobrisky once claimed to be prettier than 70% of Nigerian women and this did not sit well with people especially controversial American based Nigerian singer Speed Darling. The singer took to Bobrisky’s Instagram page to call him out saying he only just followed the snapchat queen and is already thinking of following him. Bobrisky as usual retorted, calling the singer a goat.
“Yes ooo!! It’s my big baby’s birthday so i can’t keep calm ooo. May u live a long and fulfilling life my love. The lord shall be your strength throughout this journey of life(plus me o) i wish u all the best baby. Words can’t express everything i wish 2 say 2 u on this special day. @annieidibia1 HBD”
