Nigerian social media personality Bobrisky has ignited a fresh round of controversy after sharing a video in which they declined certain foods based on religious grounds.
In the clip, Bobrisky is heard telling a waiter, “I don’t want bacon (pork) or mushrooms, because I’m Muslim. I don’t eat it,” before requesting a fish dish instead.
The public display of adhering to Islamic dietary law—specifically the prohibition against consuming pork—has triggered mixed public reactions. Bobrisky’s lifestyle choices, particularly their gender identity and expression, have long been subjects of intense public discussion in relation to their stated faith.
The incident has quickly sparked a heated debate online concerning the nature of faith, personal identity, and cultural expectations, with supporters defending Bobrisky’s right to choose both their faith and their lifestyle, while critics question the apparent contradictions.
