Socialite Bobrisky has publicly responded to Big Brother Naija alumna TBoss over her comments about men who dress in feminine styles.

How it started

TBoss, whose real name is Tokunbo Idowu, had expressed disapproval of what she described as a growing trend of Nigerian men adopting feminine styles, following outfits seen at GTCO Fashion Week in Lagos, saying 'we're slowly losing our men'. Her remarks sparked debate, with influencer Izzy Ogbeide and model Onyx Godwin among those who disagreed.

Bobrisky's response

In a series of Instagram posts on Wednesday, 11 November 2026, Bobrisky said they held TBoss in some regard but found her comments out of line, insisting that nobody has the right to tell another adult how to dress or express themselves. Bobrisky drew a distinction between sharing a personal opinion and trying to impose it on others.

TBoss responds

TBoss later responded to the backlash on social media, saying her comment was never about anyone's sexual preference or what people do in private, but only about what was being shown in public. She complained that people could no longer share a different opinion without being insulted, and criticised commentator Lizzy Ogbeide for bringing up her upbringing. Skit maker Steve Chuks was also among those who criticised her original remarks.

Background

Bobrisky now lives abroad. Content creator Enioluwa also defended the men's outfits at the fashion week, saying it was a fashion show and nobody was losing anything. TBoss had not responded at the time of writing.

Big Brother Naija star Dr Faith Adewale has won praise online after creating a game to promote Funke Akindele's upcoming film, The Four.

The game

In a video shared on Wednesday, 11 November 2026, Faith showed how the Snapchat filter works. Players are paired with three of their real friends and must complete quick physical challenges, such as tapping the screen rapidly or raising their eyebrows, to 'rescue' each one. When all three are saved, the group of four is reunited, echoing the theme of the film. Faith set a time of 15.4 seconds and challenged her followers to beat it. The filter also includes a button that links to a cinema website where users can buy tickets.

Funke reacts

Funke Akindele, who directs and stars in the film, spotted the post and responded with delight, and the cinema chain also celebrated the idea online.

Background

The Four is due in Nigerian cinemas on 11 December 2026, in time for the festive season. Funke Akindele is one of Nollywood's most commercially successful filmmakers, with several of her previous December releases breaking box office records.

"I expected VDM to drag me at my lowest, but he offered to help me get back on my feet": Blessing CEO gets emotional

Controversial relationship therapist Blessing CEO has expressed shock and gratitude over an unexpected gesture from social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM).

"I expected him to drag me"

According to her, she had expected VDM to take advantage of her difficult moment and drag her publicly, given their long history of disagreements.

Instead, she says, he offered her a helping hand and assured her that he would do whatever it takes to help her get back on her feet.

Tears and gratitude

An emotional Blessing CEO admitted that the gesture humbled her and brought tears to her eyes. She promised to share the full story once she has regained her composure.

She also asked people to help her thank VDM, and declared that she is now officially a member of the Ratel Movement.

A difficult season

The gesture comes during a hard period for Blessing CEO. In recent days she has publicly apologised to people she may have offended, described herself as broken and compared her journey to the prodigal son. She also announced that her relationship with businessman IVD has ended.

Never say never

Who would have imagined Blessing CEO and VDM on the same side after everything that has happened between them? In this life, never say never.

Over to you

Is this the start of a genuine friendship between Blessing CEO and VDM, or will old wounds come back?

"My hair costs more than my clothes": Davido's elder sister, Sharon Adeleke, says she doesn't believe in spending big on outfits

Davido's elder sister, Sharon Adeleke, says she would rather spend good money on her hair than on expensive designer clothes. She also revealed that her own wedding dress cost just $2,000, and that her outfit for Davido and Chioma's white wedding was a last-minute rescue.

Davido's elder sister, Sharon Adeleke, has opened up about her fashion choices, revealing that she would rather spend good money on her hair than buy expensive designer clothes.

"My hair costs more than my clothes"

Speaking on a podcast, Sharon said she has never really believed in spending a fortune on clothing, no matter how much money a person has.

She enjoys looking good, especially when it comes to her hair, but she does not see the need to attach an expensive price tag to every outfit.

The wedding outfit drama

Sharon also spoke about her appearance at Davido and Chioma's white wedding, revealing that things did not go as smoothly as she had planned.

She said she had hired a stylist and a fashion designer to handle her outfit, but they failed to deliver as expected. Everything ended up as a last-minute arrangement, leaving her with little choice but to hope it worked out. At some point, she said, it was simply a case of "God abeg!"

A $2,000 wedding dress

She also shared an interesting detail about her own wedding. Despite coming from one of Nigeria's wealthiest and best-known families, she said her husband spent just $2,000 on her wedding dress.

She added that she personally paid for the dresses worn by all 13 of her bridesmaids.

Not what people expect

Her revelations are interesting because many people assume wealthy families spend outrageous amounts on everything they wear.

Now imagine Davido's own elder sister saying she doesn't believe in buying expensive clothes, while some people borrow money just to wear designer labels and impress strangers.

Over to you

Do you agree with Sharon that expensive clothes are unnecessary, even when you can comfortably afford them?
