A fresh controversy has erupted in Nigeria’s entertainment sphere as Bintin Lion, a married businessman, has promised to release damaging evidence against popular crossdresser Bobrisky, following a series of controversial allegations that have captivated social media audiences.
The latest development in this ongoing saga comes after Bobrisky, legally known as Idris Okuneye Olanrewaju and self-styled as “Mummy of Lagos,” made provocative claims about Bintin from the United Kingdom. The situation has intensified what began as a financial dispute over an alleged N4 million debt and has now evolved into a more personal confrontation.
The controversy gained significant traction when social media critic VeryDarkMan, whose real name is Vincent Otse, released an incriminating audio recording after Bobrisky allegedly failed to settle a financial obligation to Bintin Lion. The situation has since spiraled, with Bobrisky making additional allegations about Bintin’s personal conduct, particularly regarding alleged romantic advances.
In response to these claims, Bintin Lion has taken to Instagram to issue a stern warning, suggesting he possesses substantial evidence that could potentially damage Bobrisky’s reputation. My silence shouldn’t be mistaken for weakness,” Bintin declared through his Instagram stories, promising to release video evidence that would address Bobrisky’s recent allegations.
The timing of Bobrisky’s latest accusations has raised eyebrows among followers of the controversy, as they come after the crossdresser’s departure to the United Kingdom. This move has led many social media users to question the motivation behind reigniting a conflict that appeared to have been resolved following the settlement of the initial financial dispute.
The online community has responded to this latest development with a mix of criticism and amusement. Many social media users have pointed out Bobrisky’s pattern of finding himself embroiled in controversies, with one user, @Debbyexclusive, noting, “This year has been a lot for Bob. Hopefully 2025 will be his year because this year isn’t just for him.” Another user, @mheenarh__, questioned the wisdom of reopening settled matters: “The matter has already gone, you have paid and the case is closed. Why you go still raise am again?”
Some observers have drawn parallels between Bobrisky’s frequent controversies and those of other Nigerian celebrities known for regular public disputes. User @Kennedyexcel remarked, “Bobrisky and Portable na one week one trouble,” highlighting what many see as a pattern of constant drama surrounding certain personalities in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
The situation has taken on additional significance given Bobrisky’s recent public visibility, with one commentator, @Adelakuntufayl, suggesting that things have not been the same since Bobrisky received a “best dressed female actress award.” This observation points to the broader context of Bobrisky’s public persona and the controversies that often surround their public appearances and statements.
The promised release of evidence by Bintin has created anticipation among social media users, with many expressing interest in seeing how this latest chapter in the ongoing saga will unfold. The controversy has highlighted the increasingly complex intersection of personal disputes, social media, and public entertainment in Nigerian popular culture.
As this situation continues to develop, it serves as another example of how social media platforms have become the primary battleground for celebrity disputes in Nigeria’s entertainment landscape. The ease with which private matters can become public spectacles has created a new dynamic in how personal and professional conflicts play out in the public sphere.
This latest controversy adds to what has been a challenging year for Bobrisky, marked by various public disputes and legal challenges. As the Nigerian entertainment community watches this situation unfold, many are wondering whether this latest confrontation will lead to any significant revelations or simply add another chapter to the ongoing saga of social media drama in Nigerian entertainment.
