The housemate was one of the nine finalists, which included Aikou, Barry, Bluethopia, Flora, Oyin, Ricky, Sheba, and Tram.

After six evictions, Sheba,  Temi Nkem, and Aikou were the last three housemates standing.

For winning the show, Temi Nkem will be taking home the ₦160 million grand prize. The prize comprises ₦100 million in cash and a brand-new SUV, making it one of the biggest reward packages in the history of the reality television show.

BBNaija housemate Keivo has broken his silence following his disqualification from the reality show.

In a statement shared after his exit, Keivo thanked God, Big Brother and MultiChoice for the opportunity to be part of the show, as well as his family, friends and supporters who voted and stood by him.

He said he had taken time to reflect on what happened and accepted responsibility for his actions, admitting that his emotions got the better of him.

“Regardless of how strongly I felt, physical confrontation is never a solution to any situation. And I take full responsibility for my actions,” he said.

Keivo said he would learn from the experience and work towards becoming a better person, adding that he was grateful to everyone who supported him and also held him accountable.

“I came into Big Brother’s house hoping Nigerians would see who I am. I leave knowing that millions of people did,” he added.

He also asked God for mercy, wisdom, grace and strength as he begins a new chapter of his life.

BBNaija star Uriel Oputa has questioned couples who bring their relationship disagreements to social media, saying some issues should be handled privately.

In a post on Instagram, Uriel said she wondered why people choose to make their personal relationship fights public and allow strangers to weigh in.

“This is probably an unpopular opinion, but why do people bring their personal relationship fights to social media? Like... when did social media become the family court?” she wrote.

She said she hopes to end up with a partner who has the wisdom and emotional maturity to understand that not every disagreement needs an audience.

According to Uriel, couples should handle some disagreements privately through honest communication, counselling or with the help of a trusted professional when necessary.

She also warned that social media users may not genuinely care about the outcome of a couple’s problems, despite their reactions online.

“People will watch, pick sides, screenshot, make memes, laugh, argue in the comments... and then scroll to the next thing,” she added.

A Nigerian comedian has criticised former BBNaija housemate Cross over his claim that a man once offered him ₦500 million to sl££p with him.

In a video shared online, the comedian questioned Cross over the claim and challenged him to provide evidence of the alleged offer.

“Cross, who offered you ₦500 million to sleep with you? At least, let people even see small evidence,” he said.

The comedian also questioned why someone would allegedly offer such a huge amount of money for a s£xual encounter, comparing the claim with other stories involving former Big Brother housemates.

He accused some people of pushing what he described as a false narrative that men can easily make huge amounts of money through same-s£x relationships.

The comedian urged people not to believe such claims without evidence, saying the public should instead focus on issues affecting the country and the entertainment industry.

Cross had previously spoken about allegedly receiving offers from men, including a claimed ₦500 million offer, in exchange for sl££ping with him.

Former BBNaija winner Phyna has responded to actress Nkechi Blessing after the actress recently criticised her online, questioning the connection between them and describing the situation as büllying.

In a video shared on social media, Phyna said she was confused about why Nkechi Blessing had publicly addressed her, insisting that they were not friends and had no relationship beyond a previous conversation about a movie.

According to her, Nkechi had reached out to her about featuring in a movie and asked her to send her bank details so she could be paid.

Phyna said she responded to the message later that evening and sent her details, but Nkechi subsequently told her that she had cast someone else for the role because she did not delay her projects.

She said that was the extent of their conversation and insisted that there had been no other interaction between them.

“She reached out to me. She said we should do a film or whatever. She messaged me for money. I’m going to screenshot that chat and post it on my story,” Phyna said.

She added: “No other conversation. No other chat. We are not friends. No other talk. There was no other conversation.”

Phyna said she could not understand why the actress was now publicly addressing her, adding that she was trying not to disrespect her despite being stressed by the situation.

She also repeatedly referred to Nkechi as “Grandma” during the video, alongside other insülts.

Phyna said she planned to publish their previous conversation to show what transpired between them.

According to Bisi, the housemate admitted to targeting a gay man during Covid and subjecting him to kito.

Kito is a gay slang used to describe a situation where predators go on apps to lure gay men while resending to be gay. They then film their victims in compromising positions and begin using the photo or video to blackmail them and extort money from them. Some even go as far as beating up the gay men or k!lling them.

Bisi, after watching the clip from Big Brother, said the housemate openly admitted to targeting a gay man.

Listening to the video, the BBNaija housemate is heard saying to his fellow housemates: “So, I thought about it, I was like, ‘it’s not like we’re k!lling anybody nau.”

“See gay ny@sh,” the housemate added to the amusement of two men listening to him.

Bisi called out Big Brother for letting such statement air without consequence for the housemate.

He also called out the police who do not take seriously the plight of gay victims.

He further slammed the friend who laughed at his admission without calling him out.

Bisi went on to state that there would have been an uproar if a man confessed on TV to targeting and catfishing a different group of people.

However, he said everyone is silent because they believe gay people deserve whatever they get.

Former BBNaija housemate Danboskid has opened up about the struggles he is currently facing and his decision to change his life.

In an emotional video, Danboskid, whose real name is Daniel Olatunji, gave fans a glimpse into his current living situation and said he was tired of maintaining the image people had created of him.

He said he does not want pity or financial handouts but would appreciate honest advice and support.

Danboskid also revealed that things were not going well for him personally and that his family was facing challenges too.

He, however, clarified that his family was not starving, adding that he simply wanted to be honest about his reality and focus on making changes in his life.

Lawyers representing former BBNaija housemate Bella Okagbue have rejected the defamation claims made against her by her ex-boyfriend, Segun “Sheggz” Olusemo, as the feud between the former couple continues.

In a letter dated August 24, 2026, Bella’s lawyers denied the allegations contained in a cease-and-desist notice issued on Sheggz’s behalf, describing the claims as “spurious and baseless.”

The lawyers argued that Bella’s comments on social media were expressions of genuine emotions and did not amount to defamatory statements capable of damaging Sheggz’s reputation.

They also alleged that the relationship between Bella and Sheggz involved a “breach of promise to marry and misrepresentation of intentions that amounts to deceit.”

Bella’s lawyers further claimed that Sheggz obtained several loans from their client by false pretence, stating that they would pursue the matter before a competent court and that they had evidence to support the claim.

They rejected Sheggz’s demands for a retraction, apology and cease-and-desist, maintaining that Bella had made no false or defamatory statements.

The lawyers also accused a lawyer from Sheggz’s legal team of allegedly bombarding Bella with unsolicited messages, phone calls and video calls at odd hours, warning the lawyer to desist from such conduct.

BBNaija star Phyna has hit back at fellow reality star Sheggz amid the ongoing controversy surrounding his relationship with Bella Okagbue.

Reacting to claims that she had smoked in his living room, Phyna questioned Sheggz's account, insisting that she had never visited his house and had only stayed at Bella's home when she visited her.

Phyna said she and Bella had been close friends for years and had supported each other through difficult periods, adding that she had also helped Bella navigate challenges in her relationship with Sheggz.

She further accused Sheggz of repeatedly putting Bella through emotional distress and claimed that she had been helping her friend deal with some of the issues surrounding their relationship.

The reality star also disputed Sheggz's claim that he was owed N11 million by Bella, alleging instead that Sheggz owed Bella more than N30 million.

Phyna questioned Sheggz's comments about her lifestyle, pointing to his alleged use of shisha, vapes and laughing gas while criticising her over the smoking allegation.

She also claimed that she had received messages from women who allegedly accused Sheggz of making plans to take them on private trips, but said she had chosen not to release the alleged evidence.

Phyna maintained that she had deliberately stayed out of the public fallout between Sheggz and Bella but decided to speak after seeing what she described as false claims about her.

She also insisted that her support for Bella did not begin after the ***** of her sister, saying she had stood by her friend throughout the four years of her relationship with Sheggz.

Phyna concluded by warning Sheggz not to involve her in the ongoing dispute, while maintaining that she would continue to defend Bella based on what she claimed to have personally witnessed.

BBNaija star Bella Okagbue has finally addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding her relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Sheggz, saying she chose to remain silent because she believed some parts of their relationship should remain private.

In a statement shared on her social media page, Bella said she had watched people tell her story for her in recent days, but warned that her silence should not be interpreted as guilt.

She said she genuinely loved Sheggz, defended their relationship because she believed in it at the time and chose to give him another chance because she believed people could change.

However, Bella said believing in someone's ability to change did not mean she had to wait indefinitely for that change to happen.

“The person everyone experiences publicly isn't always the person you experience privately,” she wrote.

Addressing discussions about marriage and the ring Sheggz previously said he bought for her, Bella said wanting to marry someone she loved was not desperation and that knowing when not to marry someone was a sign of discernment.

“A ring doesn't fix what made a relationship impossible,” she said.

Bella also appeared to dispute some of the claims that have emerged about their relationship, saying some versions of events circulating online did not reflect her experience.

She added that there were also parts of her own experience that she had chosen not to make public yet, saying those were hers to tell when she felt the time was right.

“A hundred promises. Not one fulfilled,” Bella wrote, adding that she eventually stopped listening to promises and began paying attention to patterns.

She said she had given the relationship love, another chance, and loyalty, but reached a point where trust, respect and peace could no longer coexist with that loyalty.

Bella concluded by saying she did not regret trying again but had now chosen to put herself first and walk away.

“So today, I choose myself. I choose differently, regardless of what comes with it,” she wrote.
