Popular crossdresser Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky has made a new claim.
He alleged 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, on Monday, October 7, 2024. 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.”
