Doyin David, a former housemate of the popular reality TV show Big Brother Naija (BBNaija), recently admitted that she faked her personality during her time on the show.
Doyin, who participated in the BBNaija ‘Level Up’ edition in 2022 and later joined the All-Stars season, made the revelation during an episode of the CreativiTEA podcast.
Reflecting on her experience, Doyin confessed that she tried to project a mature demeanor during her first stint on the show, which she now regrets.
“My first run was not my best run, to be honest,” Doyin said.
“I have been on the show twice. I came out of the show and I hated it. I was fake. I came out with the narrative that Doyin is too mature. She is always trying to talk things out. That is not really me o. In real life, I fight.”
Doyin’s attempt to appear more mature than she actually felt did not sit well with her, and she acknowledged that it affected her authenticity on the show.
In addition to discussing her time on BBNaija, Doyin revealed that she lost a contract due to comments she made during an interview.
“There is no bad or good brand. I had a brand that dropped me,” she shared. “They had signed me and paid me the money. But they called and asked for a refund. And it was because of an interview I did. And to be fair to them, I deserved to be dropped, because why did I talk?”
