At a recent movie premiere in Lagos, controversial figure Bobrisky was crowned the 'Best Dressed Female,' securing a coveted title typically reserved for women. The prize came with a cash award of N1 million, sparking a wave of reactions from Nollywood actress Dayo Amusa and various Nigerians.
Expressing her dismay, Dayo Amusa criticized the decision in a video shared on her Instagram, condemning the judges' choice as a mockery of the women present. She questioned the logic behind awarding a crossdresser in a category explicitly designated for females, emphasizing the disrespect shown towards the efforts of women attendees.
Nigerians echoed Amusa's sentiments on social media platforms. Many agreed that while Bobrisky might excel in fashion, the decision to award him as the 'Best Dressed Female' was inappropriate and disrespectful to women. Some expressed concerns about the impact on societal norms and the message it sends, particularly to impressionable youths.
Others pointed out the irony of the situation, highlighting Bobrisky's prominence and acceptance within certain circles despite controversies surrounding his identity and lifestyle. Some critics blamed women for perpetuating Bobrisky's influence by inviting him to events and supporting him, thus indirectly contributing to the normalization of unconventional behavior.
