Bobrisky has shared with his fans the story of how he first started cross-dressing and eventually transitioned into being transgender.
According to Bobrisky, he initially began cross-dressing as a way to promote his unisex clothing business while he was studying at the University of Lagos.
During an interview with Charly Boy, Bobrisky revealed that he never anticipated that his cross-dressing would eventually lead him to identify as transgender. Although he faced initial resistance from his parents, they eventually came to accept and support his true self.
Bobrisky said; “About nine years ago, I was at the University of Lagos studying Accounting. I also had a side hustle, I was selling unisex clothes. Most times I try the female wears on myself and I love the outfits.
“From there, I moved to female hairstyles to makeup and more women were patronising my business. So I decided to keep crossdressing since it was lucrative.
“I wasn’t thinking I was going to do it for a very long time. Initially, it was just a marketing strategy but people were complimenting me that I look better as a woman than a man. That’s how I ended up being Bobrisky.”
Earlier this week, Bobrisk declared war on Portable and other Nigerian celebrities who have criticized him for winning the ‘Best Dressed Female’ award at a recent event in Lagos.
The crossdresser cum transgender, who has been making waves after being named the ‘Best Dressed Female’ at the premiere of Eniola Ajao’s ‘Ajakaju’ and receiving a cash prize of N1 million, has been the subject of controversy after the event.
Several top celebrities, such as Toyin Abraham, Iyabo Ojo, Denrele Edun, Femi Adebayo, and others, made a grand entrance at the Circle Mall in Lekki, Lagos State, wearing mysterious and attention-grabbing outfits for the occasion.
In response, music star Portable criticized the judges for awarding Bobrisky, arguing that it was unfair to the women who were also present at the event.
Portable went on to claim that Bobrisky, a Lagos-based socialite, is a transgender individual and should not be considered a woman simply because he allegedly underwent BBL surgery. To find out how the drama unfolded, click here to read more.
