Bobrisky Responds to Criticism: “I’m Not an Ex-Convict” — Vows to Continue Spraying Money at Events
Controversial Nigerian social media personality and cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has once again found himself in the spotlight. In a recent outburst, Bobrisky addressed the criticism he has received over his lavish lifestyle, particularly the practice of spraying money at public events, a tradition deeply ingrained in Nigerian culture. The flamboyant influencer also made it clear that despite the backlash, he has no intention of stopping.
Bobrisky’s extravagant displays of wealth, including the tradition of spraying money at parties and other social gatherings, have often drawn both admiration and criticism. However, the controversy took a new turn after rumors began circulating online, suggesting that Bobrisky’s actions could lead to legal troubles or even accusations of criminal activity.
In response to these allegations, Bobrisky took to his social media platforms to set the record straight. In a series of posts, he vehemently denied any criminal background or wrongdoing, declaring, “I’m not an ex-convict,” while vowing to continue his practices, which he insists are merely expressions of his success and generosity.
In his typical unapologetic style, Bobrisky addressed his critics directly, stating: “I have heard a lot of things about myself, but this one takes the cake. Let me be clear — I’m not an ex-convict, and I have never been involved in any criminal activities. People should stop spreading false stories about me. If you don’t like the way I spend my money, that’s your problem, not mine.”
He continued, “I’ve worked hard to get to where I am today, and I will not apologize for enjoying my life. Spraying money is part of our culture, and I will continue to do it. If anyone has a problem with that, they can keep talking. It won’t stop me.”
Spraying money at events is a long-standing tradition in Nigeria, particularly at weddings, birthdays, and other celebrations. It is seen as a sign of goodwill, prosperity, and respect, where guests or hosts throw money in the air or place it on the celebrant as a form of honor. However, in recent years, this practice has come under scrutiny, especially when it is done in an ostentatious manner that some perceive as a display of wealth and power.
Bobrisky’s involvement in this tradition has been particularly polarizing due to his larger-than-life persona and the controversies that often surround him. While his supporters see it as an expression of his success and a continuation of cultural practices, detractors argue that it can be seen as a wasteful display of wealth, especially in a country with widespread poverty.
The backlash against Bobrisky’s money-spraying activities has also raised questions about the legal implications of such displays. While the act of spraying money itself is not illegal in Nigeria, there are concerns about the potential for public disorder, especially at crowded events. Additionally, there are broader societal debates about the ethical implications of such displays in a country where many people struggle with economic hardship.
However, Bobrisky has maintained that his actions are entirely within the bounds of the law and that he has the right to spend his money as he pleases. “I have never broken any laws, and I don’t plan to start now. People are just jealous because they can’t do what I do. If you have the money, spend it. If you don’t, then keep quiet,” he remarked.

As Bobrisky remains defiant in the face of criticism, it is clear that he has no plans to change his ways. His commitment to continuing the tradition of spraying money at events is likely to keep him in the public eye, ensuring that the conversations around his persona and actions will continue.
In the closing remarks of his statement, Bobrisky reiterated his stance: “I’m not here to please anyone. I’m living my life, and I’m enjoying every moment of it. Whether you like it or not, Bobrisky is here to stay, and I will keep spraying money wherever I go.”
