Popular Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky, has come out as transgender.
The 27-year-old made this revelation via Instagram.
Sharing a video of himself cooking, he wrote: “What a woman can do, a TRANSGENDER can do better. Don’t laugh.”
It would seem as though Bobrisky either doesn’t understand the validity of gender identity, simply doesn’t care for it, or likes to play with it because of the infamy it brings to him in the eyes of the Nigerian public. Either way, the socialite can’t seem to make up his mind about what gender he identifies with.
First, he came out on a video posted on his Instagram page in July last year, appearing to clarify that he is in fact a girl.
Then in August, he reportedly gave an interview where he appeared to walk back his opinion of his gender, saying he does not identify as LGBT and claimed he has a girlfriend who lives in London and who understands that he has to play this “Bobrisky” role.
Then in what is his most WTF interview yet with Bigsam, he appears to ramble on the subject of his gender identity. When asked about why he plays the role of Bobrisky, he says: “I make more money as a girl… I really want to be a girl but it’s just too late that I can’t… I’m making money from being Bobrisky. Being Idris, I make no money, but as Bobrisky, I make money…”
Asked if he would do reconstructive surgery to be more female, he says: “Of course, I will do… But the only reason I will want to change my sex is if I’m going to get pregnant. But if that’s not going to be possible, I would love to remain like this because I’m even way, way prettier than many girls.”
And then, when the interviewer point blank asks if he is a man or a woman, he responds with: “I don’t know… Even me, I’m confused if I’m a guy, I’m finer than many girls, so me I’m even confused sef. And I’m even growing boobs too, so you can see, plenty things, I even have ass sef, if I stand up now, I have bum-bum. So even me, I’m confused if I’m a girl or a guy because I am way, way prettier than many girls out there.”
