Nigerian social media personality Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has criticised former Big Brother Naija housemate Tokunbo Idowu, also known as TBoss, following her comments about men wearing feminine outfits at fashion events.
Bobrisky addressed the reality television star in a series of Instagram posts on Wednesday, November 11, arguing that adults should be allowed to express themselves through their clothing without facing unnecessary criticism.
The disagreement followed TBoss’s reaction to videos showing male attendees wearing unconventional outfits at the GTCO Fashion Weekend in Lagos.
TBoss had expressed concern about the growing fashion trend, suggesting that Nigeria was gradually losing its men under the guise of expressive fashion.
Her comments generated reactions online, with social media users divided over whether the outfits represented personal freedom or a departure from traditional expectations of masculinity.
Responding to her position, Bobrisky said he respected TBoss but disagreed with her decision to publicly criticise adults over their personal appearance.
He argued that the men featured in the videos were grown individuals who did not require permission from others to decide how they wanted to dress.
The social media personality maintained that having a personal opinion about fashion should not translate into attempting to control the choices of other people.
He further encouraged TBoss to allow adults to live according to their individual preferences, insisting that respect for personal choices was important in public discussions.
The exchange has added another dimension to the debate surrounding the GTCO Fashion Weekend, which attracted attention after videos of male attendees wearing unconventional outfits circulated online.
Actor and influencer Enioluwa Adeoluwa had earlier criticised people mocking the attendees, warning that hostile online narratives could put individuals at risk.
The latest disagreement has renewed conversations about fashion, personal expression, cultural expectations and the influence of public figures on social media.
