In a surprising turn of events, Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky, has made headlines once again, but this time for a philanthropic gesture. The polarizing crossdresser has pledged to provide meals for 500 individuals every day throughout the holy month of Ramadan, according to a report by The Nation.
