Nigerian actor Baba Ijesha has opened up about the prison experience of popular crossdresser Bobrisky, offering a perspective that challenges widespread public speculation.
Speaking in an interview with Biola Bayo, Baba Ijesha recounted that Bobrisky’s arrival in custody was marked by intense emotional distress.
According to him, the social media personality appeared frightened and overwhelmed, reportedly breaking down in tears shortly after entering the cell.
Addressing circulating rumours, Baba Ijesha dismissed claims that Bobrisky received preferential treatment or was housed outside the prison environment.
Instead, he emphasised that the reality was far from comfortable, describing how Bobrisky struggled to adjust to the harsh conditions.
Beyond the public persona known for flamboyance and theatrics, Baba Ijesha portrayed Bobrisky as a compassionate and dependable individual.
He revealed that during their time in detention, Bobrisky consistently shared his meals with fellow inmates whenever food was brought to him.
He also highlighted the role of Bobrisky’s mother, who, according to him, went to great lengths to support not just her child but other prisoners as well.
She was said to prepare large quantities of food—enough to feed many inmates—often becoming emotional during her visits.
In his words, Bobrisky’s outward lifestyle is largely tied to his brand and means of livelihood, but beneath it lies a generous personality.
