Rising Backlash Against Nigerian Celebrities Over Donations
Social media is currently ablaze with anger directed at Nigerian celebrities, notably Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, following allegations of substantial financial contributions to crossdresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky. Fans are expressing their frustration over what they perceive as irresponsible spending by their favorite stars, particularly during a time when many are facing economic hardships. This discontent has led to heightened scrutiny of the financial behaviors of these public figures, prompting a wave of criticism across various platforms.
The situation intensified when Bobrisky revealed that he received a staggering N30.6 million from several male celebrities, specifically naming Osimhen as one of the donors with a contribution of N3 million. This announcement ignited a firestorm of anger among fans who felt that such donations were inappropriate, especially given the current socio-economic climate in Nigeria. The backlash has not been limited to Osimhen alone; music producer Don Jazzy has also found himself in the crosshairs of enraged fans, who have inundated his social media accounts with their discontent.
In response to the mounting criticism, a review of Osimhen’s Instagram account revealed that he had locked comments on his posts, effectively preventing fans from voicing their opinions and concerns. This move appears to be an attempt to shield himself from further backlash while navigating the complexities of celebrity influence in a challenging economic environment. As the anger towards these celebrities continues to grow, it remains to be seen how they will address the concerns of their fanbase moving forward.

- DrDanny2030: “Osimhen, who was meant to be thinking about his football career and make sure he doesn’t retire to Saudi Arabia, was busy spending millions on Bobrisky when he was in kirikiri. That’s shows misplaced priority. He should apologise to Finidi George if he wants things to go well.”
- Davido_Fan_Base: “Y’all blaming Osimhen for gifting Bobrisky money, I don’t know how that should be y’all concern. Y’all saying he’s trying to encourage Bobrisky as a crossdresser, Bobrisky has lost a lot while he was in prison, so Osimhen gifting him was just to help him make up for what he lost. So y’all should keep Osimhen, Tiwa Savage, Don Jazzy and the rest of them name from y’all mouth and hustle for your own money.”
- @Ayofe450: “@NurseLekan Osimhen matter just dey surprise me aswear the one wey shock me pass na money wey he send give bobrisky.”
- @ifedayo_johnson: “Osimhen to Saudi = More money to give to Bobrisky.”
