Bobrisky drags Tosin Silverdam

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Bobrisky dragged blogger Tosin Silverdam over his drama with self-acclaimed relationship expert, Blessing Okoro, aka Blessing CEO. Blessing CEO and Tosin clashed at an event due to what the blogger had been saying about her.

In a reaction video, Bobrisky dragged Silverdam, claiming that the blogger owed him money. He stated that he was going to contact his lawyer to collect the money, adding that Silverdam thought he had forgotten about the debt while continuing to drag him.

In the recording, the crossdresser, who had a case with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), expressed his love for Blessing CEO but said he was disappointed by her actions.
