Bobrisky reveals how his mother died during 2008 Hajj in Mecca

Popular Nigerian crossdresser and socialite, Bobrisky, has shared the heartbreaking story of his mother’s death during the 2008 Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

In a now-deleted Instagram post, Bobrisky revealed that his mother had called him a few hours before her passing, urging him to take care of his siblings if she did not return home. Unfortunately, she passed away during the pilgrimage.

He also mentioned that her death left him with the responsibility of caring for their family, including his 87-year-old maternal grandmother.

While asking his late mother for the strength to continue shouldering the responsibilities, Bobrisky revealed his financial struggles since 2024.

“Mummy!!! Mummy!!! I missed calling you mummy. That alone breaks my heart into pieces. A lot happened after you left but we still thank God for life. I remember 28 October 2008, you called me and said Bobo omo mi, incase I don’t make it back to Nigeria please take care of your brother.

“I asked you why I should be the one to take care of my brother. You said because you feel that I’m stronger and have got thick skin. Sadly the next day I heard you passed away in Mecca, Saudi. Leaving myself, my elder brother and your own mother who happens to be my grandmother.

“I took up your responsibility at a young age to take care of your mother till now. And today, she is 87 years and very healthy. My elder brother is not comfortable like me so I keep helping him because you told me to.

“He got married and has two kids. I am still the one taking care of them till date.”
