Ex-Big Brother Naija housemate and comedian DeeOne has claimed that only he, TV host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, and actress Bisola Aiyeola remain relevant among former housemates.
He further alleged that some of their colleagues, including Teddy A, Erica, Liquorose, Whitemoney, Laycon, and Thin Tall Tony, who were thriving before the show, became stagnant after participating.
In a video shared on his Instagram page, DeeOne questioned whether Big Brother Naija is a blessing or a curse.
He said; “In the history of Big Brother Naija, only three of us [housemates] are still relevant today: DeeOne, Ebuka, and Bisola. After the three of us, who else? This is not to say that the rest are not working. We have 150 something ex-housemates. How many are relevant?
“I’m not talking about making money. Everyone is making money. We are talking about relevancy. Let’s be realistic. You might not like it, but it’s the truth. My question is, is Big Brother a curse or a blessing? Because many who were doing well before the show became stagnant after participating.
“Erica, for example, was acting before going on the show, but after the show, her career retrograded. Look at Teddy A; he used to tour African countries with his music, but when he entered the Big Brother house, his career slipped. The same goes for Laycon. I’m not talking about people who didn’t have much going for them before the show; I’m talking about people who were working.
“Most of us went into the Big Brother Naija house in pursuit of fame, not even the prize money. But when you come out, it’s ten times more difficult.”
