Yul Edochie, the Nigerian actor, says he addresses Bobrisky, the transgender, as a female.
Edochie, in an interview, described the social media celebrity as “my person”.
The actor said “I address her as she because that is what she wants”. The film star also said he likes to make “my people happy”.
“Bobrisky na my padi oh but I don’t know if the things that she does are real,” he said.
“But I will be honest, she is my person and we are very very close. For me, I address her as she. The reason is because I love to make people happy.
“If you come out and say your name is no longer John it’s Yul, if that’s what makes you happy, then I don’t have to tell you to do something different. What will I gain?
“I address her as she because that is what she wants. If she comes out tomorrow to say she is no longer Bobrisky and that she is not doing again, then I will address her as anything that makes her happy.
“There was a time she said she did BBL and she was away for some time. I even wished her a quick recovery because I want to see her do her thing.”
