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.

Veteran entertainer and activist, Charly Boy, has explained why he helped connect former President Olusegun Obasanjo with Nigerian comedian and content creator, Isbae U, for his popular YouTube programme, Curiosity Made Me Ask.

Charly Boy, in a post on X on Monday, said he facilitated the meeting because he believed in creating opportunities for young Nigerians and encouraging older generations to engage with their ideas and platforms.

According to him, Obasanjo’s appearance on the programme demonstrated what could happen when experienced older Nigerians were willing to step into the world of younger people.

“Sometimes, the greatest thing you fit give a young person no be money. Na opportunity. Look at wetin happen when Baba entered Bae U’s world,” he wrote.

Charly Boy noted that Obasanjo, despite his age and experience, embraced the unconventional format of the programme and matched Isbae U’s energy.

“A man of his age and experience sat down with a young man whose style dey completely different from wetin he is used to. Baba no just sit there looking serious. He matched the energy, played along and showed Nigerians another side of himself,” he said.

Explaining his role in bringing the two together, Charly Boy said he had enough confidence in the young people behind the programme to introduce them to the former president.

“And who helped make that connection happen? CharlyBoy. Fada believed in the young people behind that show enough to pull Baba into their space,” he said.

Obasanjo’s appearance on Curiosity Made Me Ask attracted widespread attention after the former president joined in the programme’s trademark humour and banter with Isbae U.

The host jokingly introduced Obasanjo as his former employee, claiming that he had paid his salary, provided his food and paid his rent at Aso Rock between 1999 and 2007.

Obasanjo played along with the joke while also responding to questions about contemporary Nigerian pop culture, including whether he knew music producer, Don Jazzy; dancer, Poco Lee; and content creator, Carter Efe.

The former president said he did not know them, prompting further banter from the host.

Reflecting on the wider significance of the interview, Charly Boy urged older Nigerians to do more than encourage young people to succeed, saying they should also create opportunities for them.

“To the older generation: don’t only tell young people to succeed. Give them room. Open doors. Recommend them. Trust them with opportunities,” he wrote.

He also urged young Nigerians to prepare themselves to take advantage of opportunities when they come.

“To the younger generation: don’t wait for somebody to hand you a future. Build something worth believing in. When opportunity comes, be ready,” he said.

Charly Boy called for greater collaboration between generations, saying such partnerships could create opportunities for both the young and old.

“When generations support each other, everybody gets to grow. Na so legacy suppose work,” he wrote.

ORB Entertainment Launches Music Distribution Platform For African Artists

ORB Entertainment has officially launched its digital music distribution platform to help independent African artists release music globally, manage their careers and retain control of their earnings.

Founded by Oluwaseun Ridwan Bamiro and headquartered in Lagos, ORB Entertainment provides artists with access to Spotify, Apple Music, Boomplay, TikTok and more than 150 other supported digital music platforms.

The company said the platform was developed to address some of the barriers faced by independent African musicians, including limited access to professional distribution infrastructure, high entry costs and difficulty managing releases across several services.

Artists can create an account and begin with ORB’s free plan. The platform also offers paid plans with additional tools for artists who require broader release and career-management support. ORB charges no commission on artists’ royalties, allowing musicians on every plan to retain 100 per cent of the royalties received for their music.

“Our goal is to give independent African artists access to the infrastructure they need to build sustainable global careers,” Bamiro said. “Talented musicians should not need to sign away ownership or depend on a traditional record label before they can distribute their work professionally.”

ORB’s release system enables artists to upload their recordings, submit metadata, manage artwork and select supported digital stores through one platform. The company reviews submitted releases within 24 hours, although the final processing and publication schedule remains subject to the requirements of each streaming service.

ORB’s growing catalogue includes “Sure Thing” by M26ix, with additional projects from the artist expected following the platform’s official launch. The company said its work with emerging artists demonstrates how independent African musicians can use accessible distribution infrastructure to reach wider audiences.

Beyond distribution, ORB provides tools designed to assist artists with release preparation, promotional content, audience development and copyright protection. The company said these services are intended to make professional music infrastructure more accessible to emerging creators.

The launch comes as African music continues to attract international listeners and investment. However, many independent musicians still face challenges accessing the technology, industry knowledge and operational support needed to convert that attention into sustainable careers.

ORB Entertainment plans to expand its presence across more African markets while developing additional services for independent artists, labels and music professionals.

“Our vision is to build an ecosystem in which African artists can release music, reach audiences and grow their businesses without losing control of their work,” Bamiro added.

The company said artists can begin on its free plan, making its distribution infrastructure accessible to emerging musicians who may not yet have the resources available to established acts.

Popular skit maker and actor, Akinyoola Ayoola, better known as Kamo State, has explained why Nollywood actress Funke Akindele was absent from the premiere of his debut cinema film, Star Lomo.

Kamo State said Akindele could not attend the premiere because she was out of the country, dismissing speculation that her absence was connected to a disagreement between them.

The clarification came after Akindele’s absence from Sunday’s premiere in Lagos sparked reactions on social media, with some users questioning whether the actress and Kamo were still on good terms.

In a statement shared on X on Monday, Kamo said, “I woke up to see different opinions online about Iyamii and myself. Please, we’re on good terms.”

He explained that Akindele had discussed the premiere with him but was unable to attend because she was outside the country.

He said, “She missed my premiere simply because she wasn’t in the country and nothing more to it, so please don’t assume otherwise.”

Kamo added that Akindele had promised to support the film and urged people to stop speculating about their personal relationship.

Kamo added, “We’ve spoken about it, and she’s going to support this film. I’d appreciate it if our personal relationship isn’t speculated on. Let’s keep our focus on the film.”

Kamo’s relationship with Akindele became more prominent during the production and promotion of Everybody Loves Jenifa in 2024, after which he became closely associated with the actress.

He frequently appeared in content shared by Akindele on Snapchat, while the actress also hosted him and his wife and publicly supported some of his projects.

Through his association with Akindele, Kamo featured in projects including Aiyetoro Town Season 2, Behind The Scenes and Everybody Loves Jenifa.

The pair were also seen together at several events, with Akindele regularly showing support for Kamo.
