Morayo Afolabi Brown, a Nigerian television celebrity and broadcaster, has responded to the latest issue involving popular crossdresser Bobrisky.
According to Etikonaija, celebrities gathered at Circle Mall in Lekki on Sunday evening to celebrate the launch of Eniola Ajao’s film Ajanaku: Beast of Two Worlds.
Bobrisky surprised many by emerging as the Best Dressed Female at the movie premiere, thanks to multiple amazing costumes. Following his success, the crossdresser received N1 million naira.
Morayo Brown responded to the reaction following his triumph on the current episode of Your View, saying that Nigerians had no right to criticize Bobrisky. She provided reasoning, stating that as long as the crossdresser has not committed any laws, he is free.
Morayo went on to query why Nigerians were upset by him, pointing out that the crossdresser had undergone surgery to alter his gender.
She wrote:
“Bobrisky is a good example of the Nigeria factor. On one hand, Nigerians are saying we are against this and it’s 14 years if you are caught trying to be with the same sex, (there is no law against crossdressing), and on the other hand we scratch around it.
When she goes for a competition, why are we feeling offended because has changed her private parts and is a woman? This is my own stance, as long as she hasn’t broken any law, or has been arrested for anything then we have no right to criticize Shim for winning a competition that Shim offered herself to”.

Recall that, Dayo Amusa, a Nollywood actress, has denounced the awarding of the ‘Best Dressed Female’ to popular crossdresser Bobrisky at a recent movie premiere.
According to the Etikonaija, Bobrisky won the Best Dressed Female award at the movie premiere in Lagos over the weekend and got a monetary reward of N1 million.
However, in a video message posted on her Instagram account, Amusa stated that it was a mockery of the ladies present at the event.
She said:
“I was at a colleague of mine premiere yesterday, they said the best dressers are to be picked; one female and one male best dresser. Don’t get me wrong, the winner could be anyone but definitely not a crossdresser. I mean, what’s wrong with us? I don’t understand it.
“I cannot imagine the judges disrespecting every woman that was there. You had to pick a winner, a female best dressed and a male best dressed and you watered the efforts of all the women at the event by giving the best dressed female to a crossdresser. I don’t understand, what is wrong with us?
“If you feel you want to honour crossdressers, you should have created their own category instead of disrespecting women by giving a crossdresser the best dressed female award.”
