Popular cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky, has apologized publicly for asking the Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Ewuare II, to “come and marry” him.
He made the comment in a video he shared to express his excitement at being in Benin for an event by celebrity interior designer, Ehi Ogbebor.
In the earlier video, Bobrisky who bragged about living the good life of “f**king billionaires” had said, “We’re here to disturb Benin. Oba of Benin, Bob has entered. I have entered. Come and marry me.”
However, after his comments resulted in a backlash by Benin indigenes, Bobrisky has tendered a public apology.
He posted the apology on his Instagram story, where he noted that he was just joking when he made the comment.
In his apology, Bobrisky said, “Earlier today, I made a statement about the Oba of Benin and a lot of you didn’t find it funny.
“I know. I’m so sorry. I’m actually a jovial person and I play a lot. I’m here to apologise to the great Oba of Benin and to the palace of Benin, that I am sorry.”
