Okuneye Idris Olarenwaju Early Life

Bobrisky has a very rich Muslim background from Ijebu Igbo in Ijebu North local government area of Ogun state. Unlike his parent, Bobrisky chose to be a Christian, citing stress as his reason for neglecting his parent’s religion. Although, we can’t judge how intimate he is with religion as we couldn’t get the name of the church he attends because he kept that from the media. He attended king’s college in Lagos state, one of the most prestigious schools in the country. He studied accounting and graduated from the University of Lagos, (UNILAG).

Okuneye Idris Olarenwaju Career

Prior to becoming famous, he started out by re-selling clothes to his classmates and doubling the price. Not long after, he was able to open his first boutique in Ikeja. He called it Bob, which was the short for Bobo, his old childhood nickname. Later, when his lifestyle started to attract even more people, he took the name Bob, added the word ‘risky’ and became the infamous Bobrisky. He later opened another shop for selling makeup.

Bobrisky in 2016 used the social media platform to attract the public to himself by uploading a very controversial statement on his social media accounts (Snap chat and Twitter). He publicly opened the secret behind his marital status and life by showing the image of the man whom he called his boyfriend. This action drew more than a million comments. 80% of these comments were critics while 10% neither criticize nor applauded him and the remaining 10% praised him for his bravery. Some praised him for the courage he possessed to have publicized that kind of information despite knowing that Nigeria’s constitution doesn’t support his action (gay marriage).

There are many controversial celebrities that believe in cross-dressing, which is the act of putting on costumes, dress and other attires that belongs to an opposite sex or gender. Denrele, Charly boy are just some few examples but Bobrisky took the cross-dressing trend to another level which he used to raise controversies and popularity to himself.

As said earlier, Bobrisky is one of those names that always make social media go ‘crazy’ and ‘unsettle’ due to his ever controversial updates of posts, pictures, videos and messages. Early last year, Bobrisky released another controversial statement made on his Snap chat account saying he was more beautiful than 75% of Nigerian girls. The status update didn’t go down well with Nigeria ladies as they therefore hit back at him, calling him names and also made fun of the lifestyle he chose to live. Also on a notable occasion, a Nigerian presidential aide for reasons best known to him, walked out on sight of Bobrisky at the residence.

Bobrisky is also an entrepreneur who uses some of skills and knowledge to create income and wealth for himself even though he brags about it on social media a lot. It is said that he performs as MC (master of ceremony) for high-profile events and occasions. He also acts in some short video shoots which of course is against society morals. These videos are later uploaded to his Snapchat account and they go viral. It is said he makes money from it too.

He also sells creams which he named “Bobrisky bleaching cream”. The cream called Bob Whitening Cream became internationally famous, with exports to countries like the United Kingdom and Germany. He claims that his cream, which costs $400, sells everyday. This brings in quite a fortune every year. However, we could not find his cream in any of the online beauty stores, so all we have to go by is his word.
