Contestants Sultana and Koyin ignited speculation about a potential romance on Big Brother Naija after sparking intrigue with plans to permanently ink each other’s names on their bodies. The duo, aged 25 and 21 respectively, became a social media talking point following a lively pool party on Thursday night, where viewers observed Sultana dancing closely with Koyin, who remained by her side for most of the event. Viral clips of their interactions prompted fans to theorize about a budding connection, despite both housemates denying romantic involvement with anyone in the residence.
The discussion about tattoos unfolded shortly after the party, witnessed by fellow contestant Zita. Sultana reportedly challenged Koyin to engrave her name on his body, initially questioning his hesitation. “You won’t write my name on your body? Answer me now!” she pressed, according to footage from the show. Koyin responded coyly, asking, “I should write your name so?” before ultimately agreeing—but with a twist. Sultana suggested they exchange tattoos, pledging to place his name visibly on her neck. Koyin, however, opted for a more discreet location, insisting he preferred his tattoo “inside my body where nobody will see it.”
This led to a playful yet revealing exchange. “Wow, so I should write it where everyone will see it, but you can’t do the same?” Sultana retorted, to which Koyin clarified his preference for private body art. The resolution saw Sultana agreeing to place hers “under the clothes,” ensuring both designs remained hidden from public view.
Romantic speculation has been further complicated by other dynamics in the house. While two male contestants, Faith and Victory, have openly expressed interest in Sultana, she has consistently declined their advances, maintaining she is not seeking a relationship. Meanwhile, Koyin shares a close friendship with housemate Dede, who has emphasized that their bond remains strictly platonic due to her existing committed relationship outside the show.
The tattoo pact has divided fans online, with some viewing it as a lighthearted gesture and others interpreting it as a sign of deeper affection. As the season progresses, viewers remain attentive to whether this pledge marks a fleeting moment or a lasting bond between the pair. The incident underscores the unpredictable social dynamics that continue to drive engagement for the long-running reality series, which frequently blends personal connections with high-stakes competition.
