Ex-BBNaija Housemate ‘Tuoyo’ Lied About Being a Stripper

Tuoyo Ideh, an ex-bbnaija housemate on season 4 of the reality show, says he lied about being a stripper to get extra clout.

The reality TV star took to his Instagram page to reveal the truth in a lengthy post, saying he’d been living a lie and it was time his fans knew the truth.

“For over a year now I’ve been living a lie. Some people have advised me to go on with it but I fear for my mental health and my future so I’ve chosen to come out. Big brother was my biggest shot at fame and nothing in the world could have stopped me from grabbing it with both hands,” he wrote.

“But somehow I felt like I wasn’t enough and I needed to do more and BE more to stay relevant and to get some extra clout. I was desperate, the magnitude of the competition I was going for even made me more desperate so I attached a tag to myself – “I’m a Part-time Stripper” I said to the whole world.”

I got the hype I wanted but it was unsustainable, I couldn’t live up to it because actually, that’s not who I am but because I have the body I tried to force it, to push if I could keep living the lie to make it become true but the more I did, the more I regretted,” he added.

“I wasn’t deriving any pleasure and in fact, I felt like I was making a fool of myself so I had to stop. And I’m here to say I’m sorry I lied, no one is perfect, my ultimate strategy has turned back to hurt my reputation and my brand.”

“My name is Tuoyo Ideh AND I AM NOT A STRIPPER. You’ll be meeting the REAL me very soon. Cheers to a new beginning!! 🥂 #TuoyoRebranded #OpenLetter.”

Meanwhile, Tuoyo, Thelma, Nelson, did an unpopular opinion on relationships, in which they shared their views on how people should treat their lovers. Check it out in the video below:
