BBNaija star Tuoyo revealed he lied about being a stripper

Posted: 27 Aug 2020 12:00 AM PDT

BBNaija season 4 ex housemate, Tuoyo has confessed to lying that he was a professional stripper. He confessed he coined the lie to chase clout.

However, after a year, he has come out to refute being known as a stripper. According to him, he had been living a lie and he lied to have a shot at being famous.

"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. Somehow I felt like I wasn't enough and I needed to do more and BE more in order 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.

"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!!" he concluded.

Davido Says He Was Mocked At US College For Being Black

Posted: 26 Aug 2020 04:30 AM PDT

David Adeleke, Nigerian Afropop singer who best goes by the name Davido, says he was mocked for being black while he was at a college in Alabama in the United States.

The award-winning singer brought the revelation to light in an interview with recording artist organisers of the Grammy Awards, wherein he reflected on some of his experiences with racism.

He said he was often the butt of racial jokes due to his colour at the college which is dominated by whites.

"It's crazy, because I'm from both America and Africa, so I know how both sides think. I went to school in Alabama. I went to college at 15. I was very young. And Alabama was a predominantly white state," he said.

"So being an African kid in a university where it's 13% black people, it's amazing. It's not easy. I had to learn a lot of the things when I was like, "Yo, why you look at me like that?" And not even just being black, being African. They used to ask me questions like, "Yo, how'd you get to America?" I'm like, "What you mean? I came on a plane." "Oh, y'all got airports?

"It's crazy because like I said, I grew up in Huntsville, Alabama, this was when I was 15, 16, so I've always understood like, yo, this is going to happen. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes just because of the color of your skin, you might not get a lot of honesty from somebody. You feel me? So it was just crazy."

The 'OBO' crooner, however, said while attention has been majorly on racial attacks against blacks by whites, there is need also to look into inherent hatred among blacks.

"The other way I look at it, we're screaming Black Lives Matter, right? But we killing ourselves too. So the conversation is both sided, it goes both ways," he said.

He went on to commend the fact that the narrative about Africa has been changing for good, adding that many Americans now crave to visit the continent.

"Now every American wants to go to Africa. Everybody wants to know where they're from. So it's good to see the transition from not being appreciated, to being appreciated right now. Even with fashion. You got designers that making African print fashion, so it's not only music. The culture is being felt everywhere," he added.

Some of us will block people that have rejected our advances on all platforms as a way to get over them. Some of us spend months whining to our friends and they listen and just endure till we have healed fully. Unfortunately this person has cameras on him and the whole

Continent is watching. Let's just be a little human. We don't talk about how people deal with rejection enough. Plus who says men can't/shouldn't whine about feeling rejected/hurt for as long as they want to? I even like that he admits how he feels and admits to being hurt

Rejection is not an easy thing to deal with o. Let's be a little human and not mock people's coping mechanisms. TRANQUILITY!!!"
