What caught the most attention, however, was not the money or the warm words, but Tonto's deliberate use of male pronouns and gendered terms throughout the tribute.
She referred to Bobrisky as a "man" multiple times and signed off the post with: "This is BOB MY FRIEND IN WHOM I AM PLEASED."
Given that Bobrisky has publicly identified as a woman and has been at the centre of ongoing conversations around gender identity in Nigeria, several followers read the post as a pointed statement.
