Popular Nigerian social media personality and actress Abike Halima Raheem, widely recognized as Papaya Ex, has shared her perspective on the polarizing fame of crossdresser Idris Okunneye, a.k.a. Bobrisky.

During a candid conversation on Yanga 89.9 FM in Lagos, Papaya Ex addressed the ongoing backlash against Bobrisky’s unconventional gender expression, insisting that much of his flamboyant persona is simply strategic content creation.

She asserted that the internet celebrity is merely embracing the moment and predicted that he would eventually step away from the spotlight to focus on family life.

“Getting upset over Bobrisky says more about you than him. He’s just enjoying himself and creating buzz-worthy moments,” she remarked.

“Mark my words—there will come a time when Bobrisky transitions back into fatherhood. Right now, it’s all about visibility and engagement. People’s journeys shift with time.”
