“UK Men Are Too Broke, Avoid Them” — Bobrisky Slams Men for Sharing Bills and Wearing Apple Watches

Controversial Nigerian social media personality and self-proclaimed "Mummy of Lagos," Bobrisky, has once again set tongues wagging with a bold statement that has left many both amused and outraged. In his latest rant, the crossdresser took a swipe at men based in the United Kingdom, branding them as “too broke” and advising women to avoid them altogether.

In a post that has gone viral across social media platforms, Bobrisky did not hold back his opinion, accusing UK men of being stingy, low-class, and fashion-challenged. The statement, which was posted via his verified X (formerly Twitter) account @bobrisky222, reads: “By the way UK men are too broke. Avoid them. They share apartments and share the bills among themselves. Ewww.”

The post didn’t stop there. Bobrisky went on to set a financial and fashion standard for any man who dares approach him romantically. “Before any UK guy can approach me, pls come correct. The least wristwatch I want to see you wear should be a Presidential Rolex and a designer slippers. If me as a girl can rock a Presidential Rolex why can’t you? If you wear an Apple wristwatch I block you.”

While Bobrisky is no stranger to controversy and flamboyant declarations, this particular remark has stirred a deeper debate about classism, lifestyle expectations, and the ever-growing rift between social media personalities and the average working-class individual. Critics are accusing him of promoting materialism and unrealistic standards while ignoring the socioeconomic realities of many young professionals, especially those in the UK grappling with the cost of living crisis, rising inflation, and a housing system that encourages flat-sharing to cut costs.

However, for Bobrisky, it seems luxury is non-negotiable. Known for flaunting designer labels, bundles of cash, and luxury lifestyle experiences, he sees financial opulence as a standard for any romantic engagement. This is not the first time he has raised eyebrows with his hyper-curated lifestyle and bold opinions. From boasting about receiving millions from “daddies” to his extravagant birthday parties that often resemble movie sets, Bobrisky has built his brand on shock, glitz, and unfiltered commentary.

Still, this latest comment about UK men being “too broke” has particularly hit a nerve. Many UK-based Nigerians and Africans have taken to social media to express their frustration, with some calling the statement disrespectful and baseless. “This is so unfair. Most of us here are working hard and building stable lives. Not everyone wants to blow money on Rolex watches and designer slippers,” one user posted in response. Another added, “Bobrisky is out of touch. It’s easy to talk about luxury when you’re feeding off social media clout and sugar daddies.”

In contrast, some of Bobrisky’s fans have cheered the post, hailing him as a “standard setter” and someone who challenges mediocrity in men. Supporters argue that in a world where women are constantly expected to look a certain way, it’s only fair to demand men also rise to the occasion financially and fashionably. “If a woman can spoil herself, why not expect the same from a man? No broke energy in 2025,” a supporter wrote under the viral post.

This divisive stance has fueled an ongoing conversation about gender roles, expectations, and what defines a worthy partner in today’s fast-paced, image-driven world. While traditional values emphasize character, stability, and shared goals, the new wave of internet influencers and celebrities seems to push a narrative where luxury and appearance take precedence.

Bobrisky’s disdain for Apple watches in particular has sparked a series of hilarious memes and jokes online. Some users have even started tagging their friends in posts asking them to “ditch the Apple watch before Bobrisky blocks you.” The statement has become yet another pop culture moment in a long line of controversial quotes from the internet star.

Interestingly, this drama comes at a time when conversations around wealth, class, and dating are becoming more pronounced in African communities both at home and in the diaspora. With platforms like TikTok, X, and Instagram becoming spaces where lifestyles are flaunted and compared, the pressure to “look rich” has intensified—sometimes at the expense of reality. Bobrisky, with over four million followers on Instagram, understands the game well and plays it to perfection.

Yet, whether this is just another attention-grabbing moment or a genuine expression of personal standards, one thing is clear—Bobrisky knows how to spark conversation and dominate headlines. His fans expect nothing less, and his critics, despite their outrage, continue to engage with his content, thus reinforcing his relevance in the ever-competitive world of online fame.

As the dust settles on this latest controversy, one can't help but ask: are we becoming too obsessed with luxury as a measure of self-worth and desirability? Or is Bobrisky simply voicing what many secretly feel but are too scared to say? Either way, it’s another viral moment in the chaotic, glittering world of Nigeria’s most unapologetic socialite.

For now, UK men might want to keep their Apple watches hidden—and maybe consider an upgrade to a Presidential Rolex, just in case they run into Bobrisky.
