Last year, Bobrisky served prison time for abusing Naira banknotes on multiple occasions

The influencer was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in April 2024 for abusing the national currency at social events. During the trial, she was shown four videos of herself throwing banknotes at people at a movie premiere and other events. Olanrewaju admitted that the person in those videos was her.

Olanrewaju claimed she was unaware that throwing Naira notes was illegal. She then requested a second chance so that she could educate herself and her followers about the law.

"I am a social media influencer, with five million followers; and in all honesty, I was not aware of the law. I wish I can be given a second chance to use my platform to educate my followers against the abuse of the Naira," she said.

On April 12, 2024, Olanrewaju was sentenced to six months in prison. According to the BBC's October 21, 2024, report, the influencer was released in August 2024. Soon after, a viral video surfaced in which a person, claiming to be Bobrisky, allegedly stated that she had bribed the officials to drop the charges.

The person also claimed that Bobrisky bought an apartment near the prison and served her sentence there. The influencer denied the rumors and stated that she was not the person making such claims.

According to the media outlet's report, an investigative panel was established to investigate the rumors. The panel stated that the Nigerian influencer did not serve her prison sentence in her apartment, and the rumors were false.
