The video featured BBNaija alumni Adekunle, Topher, and Jeff discussing their intentions. While Adekunle questioned, “Did anyone apply for Big Brother wanting to be famous?” Topher responded, “No.” Jeff added, “I wanted the money mehn. And I think most of us that went there were already famous in our own rights.”

Contrary to their responses, Kiddwaya reposted the video and shared his unique perspective, writing, “I went there for fame so that I can pepper my haters in the future.”

The billionaire son’s revelation has sparked reactions among fans and followers, with many applauding his honesty. Kiddwaya, known for his flamboyant lifestyle, continues to be a prominent figure in Nigerian entertainment, leveraging his fame from the reality show to remain in the spotlight.

Nigerian singer Burna Boy has called for an end to comparisons between himself and the late Afrobeat legend and activist, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.

The Grammy-winning artist, often likened to Fela due to his protest-themed music, took to his Instastory to express his frustrations, asserting his individuality and a distinct identity.

“Also all that Burna Boy and Fela talk needs to die now. I’m not Fela, I’m BIG7. I’m all about positivity, peace, and prosperity, but honestly I’d rather kill you than d!e for you,” Burna Boy wrote.

The statement comes amidst criticism surrounding his recent actions involving fellow artist Speed Darlington, who was reportedly detained by Burna Boy over allegations of defamation. This incident has sparked debates about Burna Boy’s stance on freedom of expression, a principle strongly upheld by Fela during his lifetime.

Burna Boy’s declaration emphasizes his commitment to charting his own path, distinct from that of the late Afrobeat pioneer. While he acknowledges his message of “positivity, peace, and prosperity,” his blunt remarks have reignited discussions about his place in Nigeria’s music and cultural landscape.

Fans and critics alike continue to dissect his comments, with many reflecting on the influence and legacy of both artists in shaping contemporary Afrobeat and social commentary through music.

Former Big Brother Naija star, Kiddwaya, has announced his intention to tie the knot next year.

The reality TV star took to his official X (formerly Twitter) account on Monday to share the news with his followers, declaring, “I’m officially settling down next year. I’m taking myself off the market.”

This announcement comes after a tumultuous period in Kiddwaya’s personal life. In 2023, his relationship with his Caucasian fiancée, Laura, faced significant challenges following reports of a controversial kiss between Kiddwaya and fellow BBNaija star Mercy Eke during the BBNaija All Stars show.

Laura reportedly unfollowed him on Instagram after the revelation. Despite the fallout, Kiddwaya had expressed optimism at the time, stating that he believed his fiancée would “come around.”

It remains unclear whether Kiddwaya and Laura reconciled after the incident or if his upcoming wedding involves someone else. Fans are already speculating about the identity of his bride, with many expressing excitement and curiosity about the star’s love life.

Kiddwaya, known for his candid remarks, previously admitted to joining the Big Brother Naija show to gain fame and “pepper his haters.” His journey since then has been filled with highs and lows, from public declarations of love to reports of personal setbacks, including a robbery incident in Ibiza.

As 2025 approaches, fans will undoubtedly keep a close watch on Kiddwaya as he prepares for this new chapter in his life.
