Born as Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, Bobrisky is possibly the most popular Snapchat barbie.
He was born in 1992 in Ebute Metta, Lagos where he attended secondary school at King’s College and graduated from Lagos State University.
Prior to his complexion transformation, Bobrisky’s skin colour was just as dark as most Nigerians until he suddenly turns snow white, thanks to his bleaching cream expertise.
According to him, it was a business strategy. This move immediately thrust him into the limelight via social media and he garnered both haters and admirers at the same time.
Bobrisky is a businessman from Ogun State, who now resides in Lekki, Lagos. He deals on whitening cream and plans to be a big competition of Dencia Whitenicious.
He does not care about the rumours about his sexuality or waste time firing back at critics and once posted on his Facebook page that as far as he is counting his millions and also helping people, paying his tithes to the Lord, he is totally fine.
Of course, everyone believes he is gay as he continues to mention his mysterious boyfriend who has been his sponsor. Bobrisky has been trending on Snapchat for months now and has nothing less than 22,000 views every day, especially with his fans always wanting to find out who the bae is.
His mystery bae, who he claims is Africa’s fourth richest man, reportedly gave him N7 million and a Benz.
Bobrisky is well-known as a fashionista, who likes to chat dirty and post raunchy kinds of stuff, nevertheless, his fans love him all the same.
The social media drama queen bought a five-bedroom duplex in the Lekki peninsula area of Lagos State in early 2017 and held a housewarming party. He took to his Snapchat to show off the different sections of his house, revealing that it took him about N12 million to decorate/furnish the interior of the house.
On one occasion, Bobrisky self-declared his net worth; he boasts of having N40 million in two of his active bank accounts and still hustling to become a billionaire before the age of 30. He also said his cosmetic store is worth N30 million.
As one who courts controversy, it is most surprising how Bobrisky seems to get away it. Despite the fact that his homosexual innuendos do not align with the norm of the country, the acclaimed king of Snapchat has been a media sensation. His words and social media posts are extremely controversial.
He was once arrested by the Lagos State Police Command at Lekki shortly after he publicly announced he is gay. Although his apprehension points towards publicly identifying as homosexual, Bobrisky claimed he was actually arrested following a petition that was written against him by rival and entrepreneur, Toyin Lawani.
Taiwo Kola-Ogunlade, of Google’s Communications and Public Affairs Manager, Anglophone West Africa, disclosed that Bobrisky was the most searched individual from October 26 to November 2016.
