Controversial Nigerian crossdresser Bobrisky (Idris Okuneye) has sparked a heated online debate after dismissing football as a sport she cannot relate to, citing her feminine identity as the primary reason.
“I’m Really a Girl”
While millions of Nigerians including numerous celebrities were lamenting the Super Eagles’ painful loss to Morocco at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), Bobrisky took a different approach. Instead of analyzing the match, she mocked the sport entirely. Taking to her Instagram story, she expressed confusion over why people find the game enjoyable, asserting that her lifestyle and personality are simply too feminine to tolerate the aggressive excitement associated with football fandom.
She wrote:
“I’m never a fan of football… I don’t know what you guys enjoy in it. I’m too girly to sit down and watch grown men shouting goalllllllll 🤣 I’m really a girl 🤣.”
Mixed Reactions
Her comments stood out starkly against the backdrop of the national mood following the defeat. While some social media users defended her right to have a personal preference, many criticized her for throwing shade at a sport that unites the country, especially during such a sensitive moment for fans.
