IBADAN, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Bobrisky’s die-hard fan known as Lord Casted has passed away months after battling HIV.
It was gathered that Lord Casted died on 24 December, 2022.
According to reports from Instablog9ja, the young man’s mother confirmed the news to them via phone call.
Lord Casted reportedly contracted the virus from the tattoo shop he patronised to get Bobrisky’s face inked on his skin.
Recall that Lord Casted and his mother had trended in 2021 when he got a tattoo of Bobrisky’s face on his arm and his mum joined him in soliciting support from the crossdresser.
Later in 2022, he cried out that Bobrisky had been ignoring and rejecting him despite his grand gesture of loyalty and friendship.
He also revealed that he had contracted HIV from the equipment used in getting the crossdresser’s tattoo.
Casted said the drag queen snubbed him when he reached out after falling ill.
Bobrisky, whose real name is Idris Okuneye, however, released a statement warning his former protege to stop using his name for publicity stunts.
Idris noted in a lengthy rant that Lord Casted’s claims of contracting a dangerous disease after he tattooed Bobrisky’s face on his body are false.
Bobrisky also alleged that whatever Casted was suffering was either an STD or his addiction to hard substances was the cause.
His demise has garnered reactions from Nigerians.
A netizen, @badtbishop said: “So HIV killed the guy in a space of 1yr when there are retroviral dru*gs everywhere to save his life? Is this playing or what?”
@_cici_nita said Lord Casted’s death should serve as a warning to upcoming clout chasers
“See how this guy wasted himself. Nobody shouod blame Bob. Bob was on his own. Rip to him. Upcoming clout chasers make una Dey learn “
@kambipictures, on his part prayed for this generation.
“I pray for this generation to come to a conscious state of mind and start living with great principles to achieve a fulfilling life, cuz it pains me seeing a lot of young people loosing their lives everyday for what they don’t really understand”
