Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian football sensation currently playing for Napoli, is under fire after allegations surfaced that he donated N3 million to controversial crossdresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky. The uproar began when Bobrisky, fresh out of a legal battle, publicly thanked several male celebrities, including Osimhen, for contributing to the N30.6 million he received.
The news has sparked a wave of criticism across social media, with many questioning the footballer’s priorities. Fans expressed their frustration, pointing out that Osimhen should focus on his football career rather than associating with the crossdresser, who remains a polarizing figure in Nigeria. Some netizens have taken their displeasure to other platforms since Osimhen’s Instagram page is restricted, preventing comments on his posts.
A tweet from a fan, DrDanny2030, encapsulated the sentiment: “Osimhen, who should be concentrating on his career and avoiding a premature move to Saudi Arabia, is instead donating millions to Bobrisky. It’s a clear case of misplaced priorities.”
Despite the criticism, some fans have defended Osimhen, arguing that his donation was simply an act of generosity during Bobrisky’s difficult time in detention. However, the backlash continues to grow, with discussions about the incident overshadowing updates on Osimhen’s football career, including the latest statements from his agent, Roberto Calenda, who recently emphasized the player’s commitment to his club.
The controversy highlights the complicated relationship between public figures and their charitable actions, especially when they involve divisive personalities.
