Ladies and gentlemen, so that’s how Nigeria’s very own male barbie doll graced the front page of a magazine – Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky landed his first magazine cover, on Accelerate TV.
He had this say too!
“My name is Bobrisky, Idris Bobrisky. I am talking about art and I love to be myself because there is no point pretending to be who you are not. i enjoy being myself and I woke to be who I am. So that’s who Bobrisky is.
Let’s talk about my look, my complexion, the whole makeup, the whole outfit, the hairdo, that is who Bobrisky is. I want to come out there and show that Bobrisky has is own brand. That’s the way he does his own thing which is different from every other person. I am not looking at anyone before I do my own thing. I am who I am. So, I myself am an art.
Social media is a very good platform whereby it makes you popular. I wasn’t thinking of being the famous Bobrisky and this famous bae. I posted a short video of me dancing on Snapchat and I got to see many people tagging others and saying ‘OMG you need to go and check Bobrisky’s Snapchat. He is fabulous, the way he dances, his makeup, his outfit and before I Knew it, people were sending me messages and request and i felt it was a very good thing since i was getting popular. So, I moved to Instagram and I was seeing so many likes like OMG, this guy is so awesome.
If I wasn’t Bobrisky, OMG I am from Ijebu-Igbo and we are very stingy like aka gum. If I wasn’t the popular Bobrisky I think I would be a banker and I would be able to manage my income. After the snap chatting, the whole posting, if I get home after the whole stress, I love listening to Wizkid. Like that guy is my crush, I love his voice, I listen to his music. When I listen to his music, I just sleep off.
I get a lot of messages from people, they ask me where I turn up because they need me to turn up at a particular place but I usually break their heart because I don’t turn up, I turn up in my house am not the out door person, I love to stay in doors I have been trained since my childhood to stay in doors. One good thing about Bobrisky again is that I don’t drink. At my last birthday that was held at Escape. I didn’t take any drink, in fact, my best drink is Coke.”
