Battle Between Bobrisky And Portable: A Comic Relief
BY BUSY BRAIN
The media sensation is on the apex crescendo with the recent melodrama between social media warlords, Idris Okunye (Bobrisky) and Habeeb Okikiola ( Portable). The duo of Bobrisky and Portable on social media can be regarded as celebrities who maintain relevancy amid crisis and controversy.
Bobrisky and Portable have two Unique Selling Points in common, and that is controversy. The moment of cash out and screaming headlines for both social influencers is when they are in controversy. The duo are equally shameless, with no regard for status and hierarchy of social class. They make millions out of controversy than their usual talents.
The two careless talkers are currently at loggerheads as a result of the award given to Bobrisky as the most well-dressed at the Eniola Ajao Movie Premiere. An average sane Nigerian sense of inquisitiveness will be stirred to know the rationale behind decorating a cross-dresser as the most well-dressed woman among actresses. I see this as a nuisance value and a slam of jabberwocky embarrassment to the women who were present at the event. For me, it is outright illogical and loathsome for a crossdresser to go home with such a delightful award meant for women. Eniola Ajao pulled a wrong publicity stunt.
From the point of the event, Bobrisky needs no fey or stargazer to tell him that a bomb is coming his way for bagging such award. He would definitely envisage the buzz but would not consider it coming from a Wahala musician. Had Bobrisky fully aware of his media war with Portable, he would have sheathed his sword and ignored him. Like the Yoruba adage, ‘Maja Mosa Ni An Mo Akin Kanju’ means that a warrior who wants to live long will not fight every battle. A pragmatic warrior absconds some battles and faces some. Bobrisky should have abandoned Portable and faced actresses who invited him to grace the event squarely.
Bobsrisky and Portable on this table are like posh pigs living in an affluent of controversy and mystic criticism. But Bobrisky has lost the battle on arrival; the only point that hits Portable is when he is being addressed as a dirty boy. For Portable, his recent diss track is already a hit on social media with many shares, likes, and comments. This is the only moment Nigerian media users are on the same page with Zazuu Crooner because of the kind of person he is wrestling with.
An average sane Nigerian detests Bobrisky, the main reason why Portable gained momentum in their current kerfuffle. I see the ballyhoo in the media space between Mummy of Lagos and Ika of Africa as a long ‘vawulence’ and comic relief against economic hardship. A big thanks to the creative industry, Nigerians deserve to be relieved. I’m observing from Kwara State. Lol!
