Tensions flared in the Big Brother Naija house over the weekend as housemate Mensan leveled explosive allegations against fellow contestant Kaybobo, claiming he had been deported from the United States. The accusations emerged during a dramatic clash on Saturday evening, sparking heated exchanges and raising questions about the pair’s backgrounds.
The confrontation reportedly began when Kaybobo accused Mensan of stealing his bread—a claim later linked to fellow contestant Kayikunmi. Sources within the reality show’s narrative reveal Kayikunmi allegedly took the bread out of jealousy after his romantic interest, Isabella, allowed Kaybobo to sleep in her bed the previous night. The stolen item was said to have been hidden in another housemate’s bag, though details about its recovery remain unclear.
Despite Mensan’s repeated denials of involvement, Kaybobo continued to assert his guilt, escalating the disagreement into a personal feud. The dispute took a sharp turn when Mensan referenced Kaybobo’s immigration status, taunting, “Let me see how you will come back to America.” Kaybobo retorted, “I am an American citizen, b*tch!”, to which Mensan fired back, “You were deported.”
Kaybobo swiftly denied the allegation, though neither party provided evidence to substantiate their claims during the altercation. The exchange has drawn attention to inconsistencies in public statements: during the show’s premiere episode, Kaybobo identified himself as a professional footballer based in the U.S., though specific details about his career or residency status remain unverified.
The incident highlights the volatile dynamics within the popular Nigerian reality series, now in its tenth season, where personal revelations often intensify interpersonal conflicts. While deportation claims carry significant legal and reputational implications, no independent verification of either housemate’s assertions has been provided by show producers or external sources.
Observers note that such heated debates frequently influence audience perceptions and voting outcomes in the competition, where housemates vie for viewer support to avoid elimination. The show’s format, which isolates contestants from external information, leaves room for speculation and unresolved disputes—a factor that continues to drive its global appeal.
As the season progresses, viewers worldwide await potential clarifications regarding the contentious claims. For now, the allegations underscore the high-pressure environment of reality television, where personal histories and competitive tensions frequently collide.
