“It Was Awesome, Not Really OK” – Crossdresser Bobrisky Shares Prison Experience After Release
Popular Nigerian crossdresser and social media influencer, Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, has opened up about his recent experience in prison following his release. The controversial figure, known for his bold and unapologetic personality, described his time behind bars as both “awesome” and “not really OK,” giving fans and the public a glimpse into his life during his incarceration.
Bobrisky was detained in late July 2024 on charges related to a public disturbance during an event in Lagos. The incident, which quickly went viral on social media, saw Bobrisky in a heated confrontation that led to his arrest. Following a brief court hearing, he was remanded in custody pending further investigation.
Upon his release on August 3, 2024, Bobrisky took to social media to share his thoughts and experiences. In a candid Instagram live session, he said, “It was awesome, not really OK. I saw a lot, I experienced a lot, and it was a reality check for me. But at the same time, it was an opportunity to reflect and think about many things in my life.”
Bobrisky’s lawyer, Barrister Festus Keyamo, played a crucial role in securing his release. In a statement to the press, Keyamo said, “Idris Okuneye has been released on bail, and we are confident that the charges against him will be resolved favorably. He is committed to abiding by the law and looks forward to resuming his normal life.”
Bobrisky’s account of his time in prison has been a mix of highs and lows. He detailed his interactions with other inmates, the conditions of the prison, and how he coped with the new environment. “Meeting different people, hearing their stories, it was both humbling and enlightening. But let’s be honest, prison is not a place anyone wants to be. It’s tough, and it’s a different world entirely,” he shared.
He also expressed his gratitude towards the prison staff and fellow inmates who treated him with respect despite his controversial public image. “I was treated fairly by the prison authorities. Some inmates were really supportive. It’s amazing how people can come together in such places.”
During his incarceration, Bobrisky received overwhelming support from his fans and several public figures. Nigerian actress Tonto Dikeh, a close friend of Bobrisky, was vocal about her support. She posted on her Instagram, “Stay strong, Bob. We are all here for you. This too shall pass.”
Other celebrities, including social media influencers and musicians, also rallied behind Bobrisky, calling for his fair treatment and quick release. The hashtag #FreeBobrisky trended on Twitter, demonstrating the significant public interest and support for his plight.
Now that he is out of prison, Bobrisky is determined to turn this experience into a positive chapter of his life. He announced plans to use his platform to advocate for prison reforms and support inmates who may not have the resources to fight for their rights. “I’ve seen firsthand the challenges faced by many in prison. I want to use my voice to help those who can’t speak for themselves. We need to address the issues within our prison system,” he stated.
Bobrisky also hinted at a potential book or documentary project where he plans to share more details about his prison experience and the lessons he learned. “There’s so much to tell, and I think it’s important to share these stories. It’s not just about me, but about everyone who’s been through the system.”
Bobrisky’s prison experience has added another layer to his already complex and multifaceted public persona. Known for pushing boundaries and challenging societal norms, his latest ordeal has shown a more reflective and advocacy-driven side of him. As he reintegrates into his daily life and continues his career, fans and the public alike will be keenly watching how this experience shapes his future actions and endeavors.
