Nollywood actress Dayo Amusa publicly reacted after social media personality Bobrisky was announced as the Best Dressed Female at the premiere of Ajanaku: Beast of Two Worlds, where the winner also received a ₦1 million cash prize.
Sharing her thoughts in a video, Dayo said her concerns were directed at the event's organizers and judging panel rather than at Bobrisky personally. She argued that if the organizers wished to recognize crossdressers, they could have introduced a separate award category instead of including Bobrisky in the female category.
«"The winner could be anyone, but definitely not a crossdresser."»
She continued by expressing disappointment with the decision, saying she believed it overlooked the women who attended the event.
«"If you feel you want to honour crossdressers, you should have created their own category instead of giving the Best Dressed Female award to a crossdresser."»
Dayo concluded by emphasizing that her comments were not motivated by personal animosity, but were simply her opinion on how the competition was judged.
The outcome quickly generated widespread discussion online, with opinions divided. Some social media users agreed with Dayo's perspective, arguing that the award category should reflect its stated criteria. Others defended the judges' decision, maintaining that fashion competitions should reward creativity, presentation, and overall style regardless of who wears the outfit.
The conversation also broadened into debates about fashion competitions, inclusivity, gender categories, and how entertainment events recognize personal style. As with many viral celebrity moments, the discussion extended beyond the award itself to larger questions about representation and evolving standards within the entertainment industry.

Nollywood actress, Dayo Amusa has reacted to the award of the ‘Best
Dressed Female’ to crossdresser, Bobrisky, at the movie premiere of
Ajanaku: Beast of Two Worlds.
Bobrisky was named the Best Dressed Female at
the movie premiere in Lagos over the weekend and received a cash prize
of 1 million Naira.
However, she concluded the video on a positive note, assuring her
fans that she harboured no ill feelings towards anyone. She simply
wanted to express her opinion openly.
She said,
“I was at a colleague of mine premiere yesterday, they
said the best dressers are to be picked; one female and one male best
dresser. Don’t get me wrong, the winner could be anyone but definitely
not a crossdresser. I mean, what’s wrong with us? I don’t understand it.
“I cannot imagine the judges disrespecting every woman that was
there. You had to pick a winner, a female best dressed and a male best
dressed and you watered the efforts of all the women at the event by
giving the best dressed female to a crossdresser. I don’t understand,
what is wrong with us?
“If you feel you want to honour crossdressers, you should have
created their own category instead of disrespecting women by giving a
crossdresser the best dressed female award.”
