Nigerians have taken to social media to express their thoughts on the latest leaked call recording allegedly featuring controversial crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky.

Bobrisky, on Monday, found himself at the centre of another controversy following the release of an alleged call recording by social media influencer, Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan.

According to VeryDarkMan, the recording was made on May 16, 2024, and is not a continuation of a previous recording he shared.

In the recording, which VeryDarkMan asserts is a separate conversation from a previous leak tap, Bobrisky purportedly admitted to not being in prison but rather in a well-furnished apartment near the prison, amongst other claims.

The leaked recording has sparked varying reactions on social media platforms, with many Nigerians expressing shock, disappointment, and scepticism about the authenticity of the recording.

On X, formerly Twitter, UGo tweeting as #Oforma19 wrote, “Only small star Maggi person steal them luck am for prison imagine Bobrisky with money laundering case no go prison.”

Wills Media, who tweets as #WillsMedia247 wrote, “Those that Bobrisky trusted are even his worst enemies. He thought he had friends, but it’s a pity he had beasts. Why will a trusted friend bring his guy down for what reason?”

#fm57661959 tweeted, “He-she will tell us the reason he-she gave EFCC some money to drop the money laundering charges if all the money in he-she account is a legitimate money, Aza man-woman.”

#AdeyemiOladip14 tweeted, “How this guy dey see all the call note, shey they don plan say them go koba bob ni abi why all of them dey record their conversations with him, sorry her.”

Olawale tweeting as #WealthyWave04 wrote, “If no be say dem swear for many people for this country, how person go see or hear this level of corruption come still dey blame or criticize who cast the corruption cuz dem no like the person? How na. Tomorrow una go dey shout we want a better Nigeria. Una want better Nigeria with this una behaviour? E no fit work.”

Commenting under VeryDarkMan’s post on Instagram, #real___barlow wrote, “Bob risky no get better friends at all abi who drop this record again?”

#okoruwamiracle commented, “Why bring it here for us to see and hear if you have enough proof? Even if you do, take them to court na abi na we wan judge the case for you or don’t you know that bringing it on social media is and will always remain an allegation? Tell the police, take them to court and judge with your proof.”

#officialbhigshaq commented, “See forget say that Bob dey live that kind of life, but this VDM should just go and chill, this Bob you are dragging went to prison for a weightless crime, almost the 90% of Nigerians have committed. Why don’t you start with what happened during the 2023 election? Forget this bob matter, you are just doing this because you went to prison and you feel he or she didn’t go too.”

Recall that in September, VeryDarkMan shared a purported audio of Bobrisky, claiming he bribed some Economic and Financial Crimes Commission officials with N15 million to drop the money laundering charge against him.

VeryDarkMan claimed to have received the audio record from someone to whom Bobrisky owed money,

Bobrisky, however, denied bribing any EFCC officer to drop money laundering charges against him, saying that he served his jail term.

He had also described the initial viral voice recording as fake, stressing that the claim that he was never in prison was false and should be ignored.

TikTok Temporarily Restricts Late Night Live Feature In Nigeria

TikTok has restricted late-night LIVE access for Nigerian users, as the platform now blocks the feature during peak night hours.

The restriction started on Sunday at midnight when the app quietly shut down all LIVE activities across Nigeria, leaving accounts unable to host or even watch late night streams.

According to an in-app message sent to creators, TikTok wrote, “We’re temporarily limiting LIVE late at night in Nigeria as part of our investigation to ensure our platform remains safe and our community stays protected.”

Many affected users shared that their screens showed a “No Access” label between 11pm and 5am, confirming that the shutdown was nationwide and not a technical glitch.

Reports showed that only creators with at least 1,000 followers received the notice, since they are the only ones allowed to host LIVE sessions on the platform.

Several of them confirmed that all LIVE activities stopped throughout the night, and no one could even view broadcasts from other countries during the restriction.

TikTok users who earn money through LIVE gifting said their balances were not touched, easing fears of sudden financial loss.

By Monday morning, LIVE access returned, but the whole situation triggered long conversations on social media as Nigerians questioned why the company picked late night hours, which usually record the highest traffic for match streams, entertainment shows and interactive trends.

TikTok’s latest move came a few weeks after the platform released fresh safety figures for West Africa at its Safety Summit in Dakar, Senegal.

The company revealed that in the second quarter of 2025, it took action against 2,321,813 LIVE sessions and 1,040,356 creators worldwide for breaking LIVE monetisation rules.

It also disclosed that Nigeria alone recorded 49,512 banned LIVE sessions within the same period.

TikTok added that it removed 3,780,426 Nigerian videos between April and June 2025 for violating Community Guidelines, noting that 98.7 percent were deleted before anyone viewed them, while 91.9 percent were taken down within 24 hours.

TikTok LIVE remains a popular feature among young users because it allows real time broadcasting, comments and gifting, unlike pre-recorded videos.

To go LIVE, a creator generally needs at least 1,000 followers, must be above 16 years to stream and above 18 years to earn money.

Finally revealing her reason for not mentioning Jesus in her songs, Shola Allyson on Saturday during her latest interview on Oyinmomo TV, stated that Jesus did not ask her to do PR for him.

Interviewer; “Some people said you don’t mention ‘Jesus’ name’ in all your songs”.

Afrobeats star and Starboy Record head honcho, Ibrahim Ayodeji Balogun, well known as Wizkid, is set to bring down the iconic Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) with his much-anticipated ‘Greatest Of All Time (G.O.A.T) Experience Concert’, a show already being positioned as one of the headline shows of this year’s ‘Detty December’ season.

Known for electrifying live shows and a catalogue packed with global hits, Wizkid concert experience is always a cultural phenomenon, with jaw-dropping performances, surprise collaborations, and an unforgettable connection with the audience.

Scheduled to hold on Sunday, December 28, the G.O.A.T experience concert according to industry insiders, is “long overdue and perfectly timed.”

For fans, the concert feels less like another show and more like a long-awaited homecoming from one of Africa’s most influential music exports. Recall that the Essence hitmaker has spent the past few years touring internationally and expanding his sound; hence, the G.O.A.T concert gives him a chance to reconnect physically with the city that raised him.

Lagos remains at the centre of his mythology: Surulere roots, mainland grind, and the early hustle that shaped him to be the superstar the world now knows.

Speaking on the preparations, the organisers said the G.O.A.T Concert is designed to celebrate Wizkid’s evolution over the past decade—from his breakout as a teenage sensation to his transformation into one of Africa’s most influential global artistes.

According to them, the goal is to deliver an “unforgettable night,” combining music, culture, and immersive production.
