Nollywood actress and evangelist Tonto Dikeh has sparked conversations online after sharing an elaborate birthday message for Bobrisky, accompanied by a N2 million cash gift.
In her tribute, Tonto described Bobrisky as her “brother” and “anchor”, while also portraying the celebrant as someone she could depend on regardless of the circumstances.
The actress referred to the N2 million gift as “breakfast money”, adding another talking point to an already widely discussed birthday tribute.
Tonto recalls moment with Bobrisky
While reflecting on their relationship, Tonto Dikeh recalled an occasion when she told Bobrisky that it was “time for war.”
According to the actress, Bobrisky’s response demonstrated the level of loyalty she associates with their friendship.
“How far are we going to fight?”
Tonto presented the exchange as an example of the kind of unwavering support she values in their relationship.
Tribute draws attention over gender references
Beyond the financial gift and emotional message, another aspect of Tonto’s post generated significant discussion among social media users.
Throughout the tribute, the actress referred to Bobrisky as a “man” on several occasions. She also concluded her message with the statement:
“This is BOB, MY FRIEND IN WHOM I AM PLEASED.”
The wording attracted attention because Bobrisky has publicly identified as a woman, making the language used by Tonto a subject of debate among her followers.
Some social media users interpreted the repeated male references as deliberate, while others focused on the long-standing friendship between the two entertainers.
Bobrisky responds to N2m birthday gift
Despite the discussions surrounding Tonto’s choice of words, Bobrisky’s response centred on appreciation for the birthday gesture.
The social media personality acknowledged the N2 million gift in an Instagram Story while thanking Tonto Dikeh.
“When ur bestie gave you 2m for ur birthday gift, thanks that completion of mama @tontolet.”
Bobrisky’s response appeared to focus on the monetary gift and the friendship between the pair rather than addressing the gender-related conversations generated by Tonto’s tribute.
