But her repeated use of male terms to describe the social media personality has become a major talking point online.
Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has celebrated social media personality Bobrisky with a ₦2 million birthday gift, drawing widespread attention online not only for the money but also for the language she used in an emotional tribute to her longtime friend.
Dikeh shared the message on Instagram, describing Bobrisky as her brother, anchor and one of the most dependable people she has known.
She accompanied the tribute with a ₦2 million cheque, jokingly describing the gift as money for Bobrisky's breakfast.
The actress used the post to reflect on their friendship and what she described as Bobrisky's unwavering loyalty during a difficult period in her life.
Dikeh recalled telling Bobrisky at one point that it was time for them to fight a battle together. According to her account, Bobrisky did not hesitate before offering support.
For Dikeh, the encounter demonstrated a level of friendship and loyalty she considered rare.
But it was her choice of words in describing Bobrisky that quickly became one of the biggest talking points surrounding the birthday message.
Throughout the tribute, Dikeh repeatedly used male terms, including describing Bobrisky as her brother and as a dependable man.
The language prompted mixed reactions across social media, with some users focusing on the gendered references while others praised the actress for publicly recognising a friend who had supported her during difficult times.
Bobrisky, whose real name is Idris Okuneye, responded positively to the gesture, thanking Dikeh publicly.
The birthday tribute also attracted attention because of the history between the two personalities.
Dikeh and Bobrisky were once known for their close friendship before a highly publicised fallout that played out on social media. Their relationship later improved, with the latest birthday message providing another public indication of their reconciliation.
Rather than revisiting their previous disagreements, Dikeh's message focused heavily on loyalty and her appreciation for Bobrisky's support.
The ₦2 million gift has added another viral moment to a friendship that has repeatedly attracted public attention in Nigeria's entertainment and social media space.
For many of those reacting online, however, the conversation has become divided between the significance of Dikeh's financial gesture, the pair's renewed friendship and her repeated choice of male terms in describing Bobrisky.
