•Verydarkman and Bobrisky
Nigerians have taken to social media to express their thoughts on the latest leaked call recording allegedly featuring controversial crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky.
Bobrisky, today, found himself at the centre of another controversy following the release of an alleged call recording by social media influencer, Martins Otse, a.k.a. VeryDarkMan, reports The PUNCH.
According to VeryDarkMan, the recording was made on May 16, 2024, and is not a continuation of a previous recording he shared.
In the recording, which VeryDarkMan asserts is a separate conversation from a previous leak tap, Bobrisky purportedly admitted to not being in prison but rather in a well-furnished apartment near the prison, amongst other claims.
The leaked recording has sparked varying reactions on social media platforms, with many Nigerians expressing shock, disappointment, and scepticism about the authenticity of the recording.
On X, formerly Twitter, UGo tweeting as #Oforma19 wrote, “Only small star Maggi person steal them luck am for prison imagine Bobrisky with money laundering case no go prison.”
Wills Media, who tweets as #WillsMedia247 wrote, “Those that Bobrisky trusted are even his worst enemies. He thought he had friends, but it’s a pity he had beasts. Why will a trusted friend bring his guy down for what reason?”
#fm57661959 tweeted, “He-she will tell us the reason he-she gave EFCC some money to drop the money laundering charges if all the money in he-she account is a legitimate money, Aza man-woman.”
#AdeyemiOladip14 tweeted, “How this guy dey see all the call note, shey they don plan say them go koba bob ni abi why all of them dey record their conversations with him, sorry her.”
Olawale tweeting as #WealthyWave04 wrote, “If no be say dem swear for many people for this country, how person go see or hear this level of corruption come still dey blame or criticise who cast the corruption cuz dem no like the person? How na. Tomorrow una go dey shout we want a better Nigeria. Una want better Nigeria with this una behaviour? E no fit work.”
Commenting under VeryDarkMan’s post on Instagram, #real___barlow wrote, “Bob risky no get better friends at all abi who drop this record again?”
#okoruwamiracle commented, “Why bring it here for us to see and hear if you have enough proof? Even if you do, take them to court na abi na we wan judge the case for you or don’t you know that bringing it on social media is and will always remain an allegation? Tell the police, take them to court and judge with your proof.”
#officialbhigshaq commented, “See forget say that Bob dey live that kind of life, but this VDM should just go and chill, this Bob you are dragging went to prison for a weightless crime, almost the 90% of Nigerians have committed. Why don’t you start with what happened during the 2023 election? Forget this bob matter, you are just doing this because you went to prison and you feel he or she didn’t go too.”
Recall that in September, VeryDarkMan shared a purported audio of Bobrisky, claiming he bribed some Economic and Financial Crimes Commission officials with N15 million to drop the money laundering charge against him.
VeryDarkMan claimed to have received the audio record from someone to whom Bobrisky owed money,
Bobrisky, however, denied bribing any EFCC officer to drop money laundering charges against him, saying that he served his jail term.
He had also described the initial viral voice recording as fake, stressing that the claim that he was never in prison was false and should be ignored.
WHAT BOBRISKY SAID IN THE NEW LEAKED RECORDING
‘I charge up to $100,000 for influencing’
Popular crossdresser Idris Okuneye popularly known as Bobrisky, has allegedly stated that he collects up to $100,000 for influencing on social media platforms.
He noted that while many people believe he’s into money laundering and fraudulent acts, his source of wealth is from a genuine source, with one of them being social media influencing.
This was revealed in a video posted by popular social media influencer, Martins Otse, a.k.a. VeryDarkMan, today, Monday, October 7, 20204. The call recording was made on May 16, 2024, according to VDM.
“All the money I have is genuine and the sources are like most of my influencing [sic], like that day I called you that one woman wanted to pay me £10,000, you know I told you that it’s for influencing. So, people don’t know how I charge a lot of money for influencing but I made them understand I charge as far as $100,000 to influence,” Bobrisky allegedly said in a recorded voice call with a male contact whose name remains unknown.
The crossdresser who was convicted for mutilating the naira in April and sentenced to six months in jail, noted that he had access to his mobile phone while in custody.
The male contact had initially asked if Bobrisky was out of prison before he responded in the negative, then he said he hadn’t been talking to people over the phone.
He said, “People have been sending me so many messages but I’ve not been responding because I don’t want anybody to know that I have my phone. I only want to talk to somebody that I know I can trust.
“So if you think you cannot do it, all fingers are equal. Some others do it and trust me, God blessed the hustle. Obviously, I met a very terrible judge who wasn’t fair at all.”
