Actress Bimbo Afolayan has ignited a wave of reactions online after sharing a video on her Instagram page that led fans to mistake her for controversial crossdresser Bobrisky.
On Tuesday, Bimbo posted a video of herself on Instagram dressed in a black gown, sitting on a chair with her nails painted red.
She captioned the post, “I pride myself on being a smart woman. A solid woman. A growing woman. A healing woman. A relatable woman. Versatile. Dynamic. Not just a pretty woman. I am the back up @extremeskinglow.”
While her empowering message resonated with some fans, it was her noticeably lighter skin that drew the most attention.
Many took to the comment section to express their surprise at how “white” she appeared.
One fan wrote, “Shey We should not lie. Reduce the cream ma 
,” while another added, “I thought Bob was back home.”
A third commenter noted, “This is extreme o. Do you though 
while also considering your health and old age. You are beautiful regardless.”
Other reactions included, “Omg thought I saw Bobrisky,” and “You are actually a beautiful woman. Without adding too much skincare to your body, you are such a beautiful pigeon before, when I know you. Those people hailing you, ma because of your beauty are just your enemies, they are looking for your downfall ma. Please just reduce it.”
