DeeOne, a comedian and former Big Brother Naija contestant, has sparked controversy by claiming that just three former housemates from the reality program are still relevant today.
DeeOne claims that the only former housematea who have remained relevant in the entertainment industry are himself, actress Bisola, and television show host Ebuka.
DeeOne asked if the Big Brother Naija experience is a good or a bad thing in a video posted on his TikTok page.
“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 over 150 ex-housemates. How many are relevant?” DeeOne asked.
He further stated, “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.”
DeeOne cited Erica, who was active in acting before the show, but whose career he claims retrogressed afterward. He also mentioned Teddy A, who used to tour African countries with his music but saw his career decline after entering the Big Brother house. The same situation, according to DeeOne, applies to Laycon.
“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,” he concluded.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
