Controversial Nigerian musician Portable has openly urged Bobrisky to reconsider his lifestyle and “repent from sinful ways.”
Portable made these comments after Bobrisky, whose real name is Idris Okuneye, had a string of personal and legal issues. After serving a portion of a six-month term imposed on April 12 for her involvement in the misuse of the naira, the currency of Nigeria, Bobrisky was freed from prison on August 5.
His current ordeal occurred when social media influencer Martin Otse, also known as “VeryDarkMan,” posted an alleged audio tape online, in which Bobrisky allegedly stated he had paid EFCC officials ₦15 million to drop charges against him.
Bobrisky has since denied these accusations. He claimed that he had not offered any bribe and rejected the audio tape as fake “ I served my term in prison.”
The EFCC, however, called Bobrisky and Otse in for interrogation due to the bribery charges. The situation has been heightened by the call for a probe into the claims made by EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede.

Rapper Falz made matters worse by confirming some of Otse’s allegations in a letter of caution he wrote to the activist.
In the correspondence, Falz disclosed that Bobrisky had purportedly contacted him, requesting ₦3 million to be paid to specific officials in return for a VIP zone within the prison; he turned down the offer.
In response to these events, Portable advised crossdresser Bobrisky via Instagram to change his ways and stop thinking about killing himself.
In his letter, Portable urged the self-proclaimed transgender star to turn to God for pardon and choose a road of atonement.
“Bobrisky, life is risky. God does not want sinners to die. Tell him to repent. Damn it to any sinner that does not repent. If you die, you are going to hell. Beg God to forgive you. God does not want a sinner to die,” he said.
“Help me tell Bobrisky to ask God for forgiveness. All Bobrisky needs is to ask God for forgiveness of sin. What Bobrisky is facing now, if he repents, he will enjoy the world. But if he does not repent.”
