Bobrisky Announces New Name: “Call Me Afolashade Amope Okuneye”
Controversial Nigerian crossdresser and socialite Bobrisky has once again stirred social media as he officially announced a new feminine name, ditching his birth name Idris Okuneye for Afolashade Amope Okuneye.
Taking to his social media pages, the self-styled Mummy of Lagos declared:
“My new name is Afolashade Amope Okuneye.”
And with that, the internet exploded — as expected.
💭 Our Take: Rebranding or Reinvention?
Bobrisky is no stranger to attention, and this name change is yet another layer in the long-running evolution of his public identity. Whether you love him or loathe him, he knows how to command headlines.
The name Afolashade (meaning “one who is pampered with a crown” in Yoruba) and Amope (meaning “one who is thankful”) seems to signal a desire for elegance and empowerment. But the real question is: Is this a genuine transition, or simply another bold rebranding move?
Either way, social media had a field day with the announcement.
😂 Social Media Reactions:
@wezma01: “Werey nie seh Idris! 😂😂😂”
@officialomoborty: “Who rechristened you? Ojo wo ni ikomo bayi? 😂”
@morenikejialayo: “Aunt Amope mi 😍 should I send my account?”
@am_djshegzzeey: “A.K.A Mummy Of Lagos 🙌”
@classicbukolami: “Oruko to ba wu omo, lo ma je leyin odi…. Welcome anty Folashade 🤩”
@samiblings_official: “Idrishade 😅😅😂”
🔥 Final Thoughts
In a country where identity expression continues to spark both admiration and outrage, Bobrisky continues to break boundaries in his own flamboyant, unapologetic way.
Will Nigeria embrace “Aunty Folashade” just as it did “Bobrisky”? Only time — and TikTok comments — will tell.
