Bobrisky, a well-known character in Nigeria’s entertainment business, has just been brought to light by Gafgold, an up-and-coming singer. Gafgold feels duped by a financial transaction that appears to be at the heart of the issue.
In a public appeal, Gafgold begged Nigerians to step in and force Bobrisky to restore his money. He talked about the difficult path of an independent, budding artist and how he had relied on Bobrisky’s popularity to help him release his debut street song.
According to Gafgold, he made a payment directly into Bobrisky’s account, expecting a prompt service in return. However, it’s been two weeks with no response, despite Bobrisky receiving the payment. Gafgold’s frustration was palpable as he called out the treatment meted out to budding artists by celebrities. He warned of potential legal action if the funds weren’t returned and supported his claims with screenshots of their conversation.
Meanwhile, Bobrisky, a figure constantly in the media glare, recently made headlines for comments on Jay Boogie’s BBL surgery complications. Bobrisky, asserting his wealth and taste for ‘classy’ choices, claimed immunity from such issues, citing his successful experiences with the procedure.
In another twist, Bobrisky was embroiled in a spat with Sam Clef, following the latter’s criticism of David Doe. Sam Clef’s retort included sharing throwback photos of Bobrisky, adding fuel to the fire of their public disagreement.
This brewing controversy paints a vivid picture of the challenges and dynamics within Nigeria’s entertainment scene, especially for new artists seeking to carve their niche amidst established celebrities.
