Crossdresser James Brown has been called out for allegedly misleading Nigerians into believing that he visited Bobrisky in prison.
On June 7, 2024, James Brown took to Instagram, claiming he visited Bobrisky at Kirikiri Prison. In the post captioned, “I went to Kirikiri prison to visit Bobrisky to know if she’s alright,” he shared pictures of himself, his team, and the Deputy Controller of Corrections, but notably, no picture with Bobrisky was included.
However, after an audio released by VeryDarkMan, in which Bobrisky allegedly confessed to serving her sentence outside the prison and paying N15 million to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to remove ‘money laundering’ from the charges against her, some social media users began questioning who James Brown actually met with during his June 7 visit to Kirikiri.
A source speaking to Instablog9ja claimed that James Brown did not visit Bobrisky as reported. Instead, the visit was allegedly to an incarcerated singer named Vindicate, with whom James Brown collaborated on a song. According to the source, James Brown had reached out to Vindicate for the project, and permission was granted by the NCoS DG in Abuja. The collaboration reportedly involved recording a song and making a video inside the prison, under the supervision of prison authorities.
The source further stated that Bobrisky had only spent three weeks in Kirikiri Prison before being quietly relocated. Additionally, it is alleged that James Brown falsely claimed to have visited Bobrisky during his prison visit.
