Comedian Bello Khabir recently made headlines when he alleged that the famous crossdresser Bobrisky is gay and once asked him out. These claims were made during his guest appearance on The Esther Show podcast.
According to Khabir, he received a lot of attention from gay individuals after portraying a female character in one of his comedy skits. He specifically mentioned that Bobrisky approached him, stating, “Bobrisky moved to [approached] me. That was a long time ago. I think it was 2017, 2018. I can’t remember vividly.” He also hinted that there was more to the story behind his feminine character and how it attracted unwanted attention from “alphabet people.”
In response to Khabir’s accusations, Bobrisky took to his Instagram page to dismiss the claims. He posted a screenshot of Khabir’s message request and accused the comedian of seeking attention by using his name. Bobrisky wrote, “My lawyer sent me this stupid boy’s lie on one dead podcast, and I was just laughing hard. Your career is dead a long time ago, I’m sure that’s why you think you can use Bob for clout.”
Bobrisky went on to clarify that he had blocked Khabir in 2017 and shared a screenshot of the DM request as evidence. He also dismissed Khabir as a “broke n*gga” and emphasized that he only associates with wealthy individuals. Bobrisky’s response displayed a mix of amusement and disdain towards Khabir’s allegations.
The exchange between Khabir and Bobrisky has sparked controversy and debate among fans and followers of both individuals. While some have taken Khabir’s side and viewed his claims as credible, others have sided with Bobrisky and accused Khabir of seeking attention and trying to revive his career through controversy.
The allegations and subsequent exchange also shed light on the issues surrounding LGBTQ representation and acceptance in Nigeria. The country has strict laws and societal attitudes towards homosexuality, and individuals who identify as LGBTQ often face discrimination and persecution. The controversy surrounding Khabir and Bobrisky’s exchange has once again brought these issues to the forefront, prompting discussions about LGBTQ rights and representation in Nigeria.
Additionally, the exchange between Khabir and Bobrisky highlights the power and influence of social media in shaping public perception and spreading information. The use of Instagram and other social media platforms to address and refute allegations underscores the role of these platforms in shaping narratives and engaging audiences in real-time.
The controversy surrounding Khabir’s allegations and Bobrisky’s response serves as a reminder of the complexities and sensitivities surrounding LGBTQ issues in Nigeria and the broader impact of social media on public discourse. As the conversation continues to unfold, it is important for all parties involved to approach the issue with sensitivity and respect for diverse perspectives.
