Bobrisky a Nigerian internet personality known for his cross-dressing career,also known for his presence on the social media app Snapchat.
he constantly shows off wads of money, expensive things he has acquired, and all manner of monetary excesses.
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, Bobrisky finally gets honest about his source of wealth and his general thoughts about money.
Okay. Most times, I’m this person that I allow people say different things because that’s what keeps me in the news all the time. The moment I come and tell you ‘okay, you know what? Let me now explain to you guys this is where the money is coming from’, I don’t think I’ll be trending like the way I’m trending. People want to know ‘Ah! Bob bought this, did this, did that, everyday,’ always showing off money – N50 million, N100 million, dollars everyday.
Well, let me start from my adverts, influencing. I charge a lot of money. When I tell people that I charge over N30 million to influence people’s brand, people say it’s a lie. You know, I like the fact that they’re actually looking down on me because it’s making me go far, do you understand? When they now see, they now say ‘Ah, it’s true o! This one hold o!’ So going back to the money aspect, from my endorsement deals I charge – for six months it depends on the brand I’m influencing for – I charge over 50 million naira and above.
When you say that money is not everything, you’re lying to yourself. Money is everything. If you want to get a good name, is it not with money? Buhari is our president right? And he’s rich. He has a name for himself – Buhari. If Buhari is not a president, who will know Buhari? Who will know the name? Where is the good name? Who will know that good name? Nobody will know the name. It’s only when you’re known people know you for something. So I feel like when you tell me money is not everything, it’s a lie. Money is everything.
