Social media platforms are currently buzzing with anger directed at several Nigerian celebrities, including Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. This backlash erupted after it was alleged that Osimhen made a significant financial contribution to crossdresser Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky. Another prominent figure, Don Jazzy, has also been targeted, with fans flooding his social media with criticism, similar to what Osimhen is facing.
The controversy intensified after Bobrisky claimed he received a total of N30.6 million from various male celebrities, specifically mentioning that Osimhen contributed N3 million. In response to the growing criticism, Osimhen has reportedly restricted comments on his Instagram account to prevent fans from expressing their disapproval on his posts.
The situation has sparked numerous reactions on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), with users sharing their thoughts on the matter. Some users, like @DrDanny2030, expressed disappointment, suggesting that Osimhen should focus on his football career instead of making such donations. Others, like @Davido_Fan_Base, defended Osimhen, arguing that his financial gift to Bobrisky was simply an effort to help him recover from losses suffered during a difficult period.
Here are a few of the reactions:
– @DrDanny2030: “Osimhen should be focused on his football career and not spending millions on Bobrisky. He should apologize to Finidi George if he wants things to go well.”
– @Davido_Fan_Base: “People blaming Osimhen for helping Bobrisky need to mind their own business. Bobrisky lost a lot while in prison, and Osimhen’s gift was just to help him recover. Let’s stop dragging Osimhen, Tiwa Savage, Don Jazzy, and others.”
– @Ayofe450: “Osimhen’s actions are surprising, especially the money he gave to Bobrisky.”
– @ifedayo_johnson: “If Osimhen goes to Saudi Arabia, that means more money for Bobrisky.”
