BBTitans: Fans React To Yemi Cregx Eviction
Former Big Brother Titans housemate Yemi Cregx was evicted from the show on Sunday March 5, leaving many of his fans in shock.
Yemi was one of the four housemates who were asked to leave the house by host Ebuka during the live eviction show, as they received the lowest amount of votes from viewers.
Despite being a strong contender and one of the most talked about housemates in the competition, Yemi’s eviction has left many fans wondering whether it was real or fake.
During his time in the house, Yemi was known for his playboy tactics and his romantic entanglements with fellow housemates Khosi and Blue Aiva. However, his actions came under scrutiny after Ebuka exposed him, leading to a confrontation with Khosi, who he had promised love and affection.
Despite the shock of his eviction, Yemi’s fans have expressed both surprise and support for him, with some vowing to stop watching the show while others wished him well in his future endeavors.
Here are some of the comments gathered from Tweeps:
@Afokem_24 said: “It still feels like a dream and I have not come to accept it yet but we move. I miss seeing him on my screen so much. you are the man you think you are, the guy with a good, caring and sincere heart. ❤️❤️
@BIGBOSS___1 said: “We love you!!! I’m not watching because how will I hold myself by not seeing you on my screen! Cregx force is here for you my boy…🥺❤️❤️❤️
@tayoolaoluwa3: “Honestly, the house is boring without Yẹmí. I will not stop praying for you. You will surely make it big in life. I doubt if I will continue watching the show for this season. No vibes from other housemate jàre. Set awọn bad belle lo kù níbẹ(sic).
@Amlovelybae said: “Khosi was your greatest undoing in the house. Move past that, avoid her like a plague cos she breeds badluck. Focus on yourself and your brand. The world is your oyster.”
@EdirinOloja7: “I wish you all the best Yemi.Getting to d finals doesn’t matter..it is having God’s grace after d show that matters and u’re a child of grace. Go & conquer ur world. I hope u will sit down and review ur stay in d house. Don’t trust any woman who has given u several red flags.”
@Ampharsh: “wow!! #YemiCregx you do this one oh, most #BBTitans couldn’t come to the reality of your eviction, me of one just couldn’t catch sleep knowing we won’t see you on screen for some time, mehn…. it hurt & ‘we’ are deeply hurt. The conspiracy theory against you was deep!”
@SamiRae0693: “Yemi fans really failed him… I thought the wake up call from 2 weeks ago would spur them to go all out for him this time but they disappointed him. No way only Yvonne had more votes than yemi and nelisa combined. Coz Justin doesn’t have fanbase. Yall goofed big time.”
@Ijeoma_unsual: “The first day I saw u, I loved u. I like ur moves. I just said top 5. Not fanning anybody. But when I saw u will KHosi of all the beautiful girls there. I just shounted and 🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️

BBNaija’s Eloswag Responds To Leaked Sextape
Eloswag, a former contestant on Big Brother Naija Season 7, has broken his silence following the release of his private video online.
The reality star reportedly uploaded a clip featuring himself and an unidentified woman on his Snapchat account at approximately 3 a.m. on Sunday.

The explicit content quickly gained traction after being reposted by the controversial gossip blog, Gistlover, sparking widespread conversations across social media platforms.
In response to the incident, Eloswag took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his frustration and consider possible legal action.
In a now-deleted post, he wrote, “I mistakenly posted a video on my Snapchat by 3am and deleted it immediately, guess who has the video? GISTLOVER? How? Please, can I sue? Because it doesn’t make sense.”
