Tonto Dikeh gives Bobrisky N2 million, calls him 'brother'
On September 22, 2026, Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh celebrated controversial socialite Bobrisky’s birthday by presenting him with a N2 million cheque, which she described as "breakfast money." In an Instagram tribute, she called Bobrisky her "brother," "anchor," and one of the most dependable people in her life, recalling how he stood by her during a difficult period without hesitation.
The post sparked mixed reactions online. Some users praised Dikeh’s loyalty, noting that true friendship means standing by someone regardless of public opinion. Others criticized her repeated use of male pronouns and the term "brother," arguing it could be seen as misgendering Bobrisky, whose gender identity has been a topic of discussion. Bobrisky himself replied simply with "Thank you mama," highlighting the complex dynamics of their relationship and the broader conversation about respect and identity in Nigerian social media.
Readers should note the specifics of the N2 million gift and the date, consider how public figures balance loyalty with gender sensitivity, and reflect on their own responses—whether to focus on the act of friendship or the language used. The episode invites a constructive dialogue about inclusivity while acknowledging personal bonds.
