“$200K or Nothing”: Bobrisky Sets Social Media Ablaze With Hookup Fee Revelation, Blasts Lagos Men

Nigerian internet sensation and self-proclaimed “Mummy of Lagos,” Bobrisky, is back—and he’s making sure everyone knows it. The controversial figure, never far from headlines, returned to Nigeria after a five-month hiatus abroad and wasted no time in stirring the pot once again. This time, it’s not just about fashion, flair, or feuds—Bobrisky has declared a new standard for his “hookup fee,” and the internet, as expected, has gone into full meltdown mode.


Announcing his return via Instagram, Bobrisky proclaimed himself open for business, calling on his loyal Lagos clientele to gear up for his highly-priced services. The price tag? A jaw-dropping $200,000. Yes, you read that right—$200K to spend a night with the internet celebrity, and not a dollar less. The post, laced with characteristic sass, also came with specific terms and conditions: it must be at either Eko Hotel or The Wheatbaker—and only in a suite. Oh, and “come with condom,” Bobrisky added bluntly, before launching into a classic jab at Lagos men, accusing them of poor hygiene. “No kissing pls cos many of you Lagos men don’t brush,” he wrote.


The post ignited a wildfire across social media platforms, drawing both mockery and amazement in equal measure. While Bobrisky has built a career off controversy, flamboyance, and unfiltered expression, this latest declaration has struck a new chord—one that’s got Nigerians questioning everything from celebrity culture to the ethics of online sex work.


For many, the first reaction was simple disbelief. “$200K?!” echoed across comments, retweets, and group chats. The figure, considered astronomical by local standards, left many wondering whether the post was satire, a stunt, or just another day in the life of Nigeria’s most polarizing social media figure. Some fans took it with a pinch of salt, others with a spoonful of shade.


“If yesterday’s price is not today’s price, this one na tomorrow’s price!” one user quipped. Another chimed in with mock confusion, “I thought she was doing ambassadorial deals, when did hookup start?”


Still, the post attracted supporters, or at least, opportunists. A Lagos-based makeup artist seized the moment to market her services: “Incase you need a makeup artist before seeing sugar daddy, I’m available for booking.” Another user jokingly offered a post-hookup meal: “Bob, I make very good white rice and stew oo. In case you finish work and you’re hungry.”


While the comments ranged from sarcastic to downright hilarious, the conversation also opened up deeper discussions. Bobrisky, who has long walked the tightrope between influencer, celebrity, and social lightning rod, continues to blur the lines between performance and reality. Is this simply shock marketing? A calculated move to remain relevant in an overcrowded entertainment space? Or is it an unapologetic embrace of a lifestyle others only whisper about?


Regardless, Bobrisky knows exactly how to command attention. A master of virality, the socialite has spent the past few years cementing his brand with a blend of glam, drama, and an unmatched ability to keep people talking. His departure from Nigeria months ago followed a run-in with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)—a clash that saw him lie low overseas for a while. Now, he’s returned not just with a bang but with the kind of storm only he can conjure.


For some critics, Bobrisky’s latest stunt signals a worrying trend in influencer culture, where notoriety increasingly overshadows substance. “We’ve normalized this madness,” one user lamented. “This isn’t empowerment, it’s embarrassment.”


Others, however, defended his right to autonomy and expression. “If she wants to charge $200K, that’s her business,” another countered. “You don’t have to pay it. It’s not for you.”


But the most striking part of this saga is how Bobrisky continues to shape and challenge the public conversation. By boldly stating what many would dare not even imply, he forces Nigerians to confront taboo topics—gender identity, sexuality, transactional relationships, and digital celebrity—in uncomfortable, messy, and often comical ways.


In a society that often polices identity and expression, Bobrisky has always operated as an anomaly, a glittery, loud, and unapologetic exception to the rule. Whether you love him, loathe him, or laugh at him, you simply can’t ignore him.


This time around, even the choice of hotels sparked mini-debates. Eko Hotel and The Wheatbaker—both symbols of opulence—are clearly part of the performance. They’re not just settings; they’re props in Bobrisky’s ongoing stage play, carefully chosen to reinforce a narrative of exclusivity and luxury. And it’s working. The hype has once again propelled him into the national conversation, where every eyebrow raise and Instagram post becomes a headline.


The uproar may die down in a few days, as social media often moves quickly to its next trending spectacle. But Bobrisky’s impact lingers. He’s not just a personality—he’s a phenomenon. And like all good provocateurs, he knows that controversy is currency, and he spends it well.


One thing is certain: with Bobrisky back on Nigerian soil, things are about to get loud again. Whether it’s $200K hookups, explosive Instagram lives, or another bout with authorities, the “Mummy of Lagos” isn’t fading from the spotlight anytime soon.


In fact, the spotlight may need Bobrisky more than he needs it.
