Nigerian transgender socialite Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, was beaten up by a man who bashed her car in Lagos traffic. The incident occurred on Monday, 21st October 2019.
The video shows the internet personality attempting to stop the man from driving away. She then proceeds to take pictures of his car’s number plate. Then the man, after slapping Bobrisky’s phone out of her hand, follows her to her car, a new Range Rover 2019, and visibly assaults her. The man overpowers the crossdresser, and then passers-by come to her rescue.
Take a look at the video below.
Bobrisky later took to social media to show everyone the phone he smashed in traffic — an iPhone 11 Pro Max. She also posted a video of the man apologising for his wrongdoing.

In the post she shared, she wrote:
“It wasn’t a little misunderstanding. If truly it was a misunderstanding, I should have let you go in peace. But trouble sat on its own, and you went to pull it. And I’m happy I gave it to you hard. Next time, when you meet people you don’t know, you will calm down and know who they are.
“As of about 5:17 pm, I was driving to a meeting when this man bashed my car from behind. Mistakes happen, but what got me so mad was when this ugly man said ‘what can I do to him’ after hitting my car. Ahhhhh! I was shocked. I was trying to record his stupidity when he was saying what can I do. The next thing I saw was he hit my iPhone 11 max too.
“I got so mad 😡. I ran into his car to collect his phone and his car key. Only for him to run after me to collect his phone and car key from me. I fought him like I was on something. At some point, I didn’t even care to see people recording. I was mad 😡. Your apology might be accepted, but you must sleepover in that cell. Then tomorrow, you will get me a new iPhone 11 max and fix my car. I might be calm and nice. But I don’t take nonsense from any motherf*cker.”

The video, after being shared on social media, went viral.
Let’s not forget that Chief Olusegun Runsewe, Director-General, National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), once said that Bobrisky’s impact on society is worse than Ebola, the deadly epidemic.
