I suspected Big Brother had chaos in mind when he revealed the All-Stars line-up this season, and my suspicions have now been confirmed with his latest addition to the house. The house is tipping with tension with these four sets of ex-lovers moving around like they don’t give two shits about each other.
Tolani Baj and Prince
Although the self-styled “bad bitch” is moving around with Neo these days, her first love was Prince Nelson. The two were just as painful to watch during the Lockdown season, with Tolani gatekeeping Prince and watching like a hawk if he dared to get close to other female housemates. The relationship barely lasted once they left the BBNaija house, and during their reunion, Prince stated, “I did like Tolanibaj, but she was never satisfied with my actions and everything I did. She wanted me to spend more time with her. I tried to do that and be nicer, but she wasn’t satisfied. It was draining me at the time. No matter how much I tried, it was as if nothing I ever did pleased her.”
Tolani, on the other hand, mentioned how she regretted having sex with Prince and even accused him of locking lips with Lilo. She said, “I 100% regret it. It was wack, by the way. I really expected more from somebody that ‘carries shoulder’. You should’ve impressed me, but you didn’t.”
Well, the exes are back in Biggie’s house, and they’ve been avoiding each other but it’s only a matter of time before something happens. Especially since Tolani’s relationship with Neo confirms Prince’s suspicions about her liking him all along.
Mercy and Ike
They were the Bonny and Clyde of the Pepper Dem season and even tried to keep the flames of their love burning after they left the BBNaija house. Unfortunately, things didn’t work between the two, and they had a messy breakup that saw them slandering each other on social media and during media rounds.
But guess who has been reprising their Bonny and Clyde dynamics in the All-Stars house? During her first diary session, Mercy told Biggie she was shocked to see Ike in the house, but she’d resolved to keep the peace. We just didn’t know we’d see the two plotting and even playing cat and mouse occasionally in the house. Even though they’re silently plotting against each other behind their backs, they’re teaching us that you don’t have to be bitter exes. Sorry to Biggie if he had chaos in mind for these two.
KimOprah and Omashola
Angel and Cross
A friendship, a situationship or an actual relationship? They’ve called it different names but it doesn’t take away the fact that Cross and Angel were a delight to watch in the Shine Ya Eyes house. I mean, shippers even shipped them as “Crossgel”, but that wasn’t enough glue to keep what they had going.
During their reunion, both parties exchanged accusations like Valentine gifts, but the ultimate conclusion was that they couldn’t work. They’ve kept their distance since they stepped into the All-Stars house, with Cross even stating that he has no intention of talking to Angel throughout his stay. Unfortunately for him, he also has to watch Angel’s blooming relationship with her new man, Soma. But that’s okay. Even if Angel is in her love bubble, we know she also sees the Cross x Ilebaye situationship.
We see you for what you are, Big Brother. We see you.
