A 20-year-old student, James Obialor, who became popular after a video where he was speaking to the press about allegations on his sexuality, has opened up about his relationship with cross-dresser, Bobrisky.
Obialor who made the phrase ‘they didn’t caught me’ an internet mantra, spoke to Saturday Beat where he claimed that there is no crime in being effeminate.
He also talked about how Bobrisky changed his life
“I was happy and inspired when I met Bobrisky. I was about to perform on stage at the birthday party when the police officials came to arrest some guys and girls. I didn’t even know my video would go viral like that. I had to talk back at the policemen because I was being accused wrongly and I had to defend myself.” he said

Obialor was rounded up with other boys all of whom were accused of being gay and while many suspect that the student is indeed gay, he said that he was never caught and therefore, could not be realistically accused of being homosexual.
“They accused me wrongly because I act feminine when I talk and being feminine is not a crime; I have always been like this since I was a child. I was about eight years old when I started dancing; I used to stay with my grandma and she was the only person that was supporting me at that time,”
Obialor’s video got so much attention that it was even posted on Instagram by rapper/entrepreneur/internet troll 50 Cent.
“I was happy when 50 Cent reposted the video because he said something nice about it. This new fame that has found me has opened many doors for me, but the sad thing is that my parents are not in support of what I am doing. I intend to use this avenue to start making income for myself.
“My dad doesn’t believe I can make a living from my fame; I need to convince him by becoming the real celebrity people want me to be,” he said.
Obialor is HIV positive, he claims that he was born with the disease and has never been scared to talk about his status.
“I talked about my HIV status to make my case stronger; a policeman actually discriminated against me because of my status when I had to stay in police custody after the arrest. I told them I needed to take my medication because of my status but they talked down on me and made me feel bad.
“I was 12 when I discovered my status after my dad told me about it. I was born with the virus. After I came out to talk about my status openly, I have received love and support from people,” he said.
