    A rapist below animals-Laycon

    By Gbenga Bada

    Laycon has weighed in on conversations around sexual harassment and rape.
    Laycon said a rapist is way below an animal because even animals give consent before sex.
    The 26-year-old rapper made this known during a conversation with Kiddwaya.

    The duo was having conversations as the Housemates deliberated on their task ahead of the game night.

    “If a Lion wants to mate, it goes to meet the female and smell to know they are ready and the same for most cats. Spiders, they knead to go and meet the female, who gives consent that they are ready, same for praying mantis.
    “There are some animals that you need to duel before you get the consent of the female to mate. Yeah, that’s the fact. Rape is not animalistic. If you’re human and a rapist, you’re way below an animal,” Laycon said.
     Laycon has been trending on social media over his talent, intelligence and relationship with Erica. Born Olamilekan Agbeleshe, the singer and rapper is a graduate of philosophy from the University of Lagos, who started his musical journey at an early age and emerged as one of Nigeria’s most promising new school acts.
    He describes himself as being versatile and able to coin words together to soothe scenarios and moods.

    A total of N3 million has been splashed on the remaining 16 Housemates after they won a Guinness sponsored game.

  • Vee says Dorathy picks on Housemates for fun

    Vee says Dorathy picks on Housemates for fun

    By Gbenga Bada

    23-year-old Vee has expressed seething anger towards Dorathy after spending 23 days in the BBNaija Lockdown House.

    Speaking with Neo, Vee said Dorathy picked on Brighto and Nengi and  wants to pick on her.

    The London returnee further said she cannot be picked on because she has the same character as Dorathy.

    The singer took on 24-year-old Dorathy over her comments and giggles during their Tuesday night game sponsored by Guinness Smooth.

    During the game, while Vee was blindfolded and kicking the ball to the net, some Housemates made remarks while others laughed and she did not take it lightly.

    When the comments continued, Vee announced that she needed silence saying, ‘I need silence. Do not say a freaking word.’

    After Vee managed to finish her turn, she immediately looked at other Housemates and shouted, ‘Whoever was laughing in that group, I swear to God, do not speak to me ever again! Do you know how disheartening that thing was?”

    After the session, Vee apologised to Housemates that raised concerns but refused to have a discussion or apologise to Dorathy, who laughed during her turn.

    Despite Neo and Kiddwaya’s attempts to play go-between for Dorathy and Vee and bring them together to talk, the ladies refused to speak to each other.

    Dorathy did not understand why Vee took it so seriously saying, “Neo, you know I don’t like to have problems with anybody. Four weeks here, have you seen me argue? It’s simple, it’s a game.”

    Not satisfied, Neo got a chance to check in with Vee alone and it turns out she was still quite upset.

    Neo asked a simple question: “Do you want this kind of energy inside you?’ to which Vee responded “No I don’t, but every time I see Dora’s face I’m gonna get pissed off’.

    Neo followed up with ‘It’s not worth it’, to which Vee responded, ‘It’s not worth it, but right now I am still a bit irritated’.

    Neo came back with ‘It’s not worth it, just focus on something else’ before he put his forehead on her forehead and told her, ‘I’m really proud of you’ adding, ‘You did really good’.

    The night ended before the ladies made peace

    Laycon , Kiddwaya look beyond rivalry

    By Adeniyi Adewoyin

    Seeming rivals, Laycon, and Kiddwaya, have sheathed their swords to show fans the spirit of sportsmanship.

    They continued to prove that there’s no bad blood between them even though they are interested in the same woman.

    Oftentimes they’ve hugged each other to prove they are still cool with one another.

    And every time they try to show no bad blood, they look away and beyond the reason for rivalry between them.

    Again, today, after the Guinness challenge, which had both Housemates in the same group, they took a few seconds to appreciate and show love and respect to one another for performing well during the task.

    Since the show kicked off on July 19, Kidd has continually noted he likes Laycon and sees him as a brilliant guy.

    Kidd had told Erica that he wouldn’t like to be seen as the obstacle between Laycon and Erica.

    Current Head of House, Erica and second Head of House, Lucy, have engaged in their third fight after their 23rd day in the BBNaija Lockdown House.

    They got into a war of words over some parables used by Lucy.

    The fight erupted between Erica and Lucy shortly after their task.

    While they got into the war of words, others simply looked on.

    Erica accused Lucy of insulting her in parables, saying they already had a fall out earlier in the day.

    Erica further claimed Lucy is being overzealous and had issues with almost all the Housemates.

    “What did you mean when you said that proverb?” Erica asked Lucy.

    “Haven’t you heard that saying before?” Lucy replied.

    “We were just having a conversation and I said you (Kidd) are the neck if you say the neck doesn’t turn. That meant something I should explain that again? I don’t know what you understood by that but I didn’t mean shit,” Luck said.

    The Housemates have not been in good terms since the Sunday Live eviction when Ebuka tried to mess with the  head.

    During Monday’s diary session, Tolanibaj shed some lights onrelationship among Housemates.

    She noted that Neo and Vee’s relationship is the most genuine in the House while the rest are in entanglement.

    Speaking further, she also pointed at Erica and Kiddwaya’s relationship saying they are enjoying the moment.

    “Eric and Kidd, I think they are just having fun. I don’t think they are trying to develop anything with the title I think they are just going with the flow,” Tolani noted.

    “Erica said yesterday that Kidd is her special friend and Kidd also said he’s enjoying her vibes so it doesn’t necessarily have to be a relationship in the house as long as you vibe with the person and you guys respect each other, ” she added.

    She also spoke on Nengi and Ozo saying, “Nengi said it yesterday that it’s strictly friendship. You never know people’s motive, I’m just speaking for myself I didn’t come here to be playing games to be winning votes or not I just feel like if I’m being real whoever related with me with vote for me”.

    The House has witnessed another fall out between Lucy and Nengi.

    Both got into disagreement just after the eviction.

    Nengi had accused Lucy of backbiting but Lucy wasn’t in for it as she fired back immediately.

    Explaining the encounter to Praise, Lucy said she was in the toilet when Nengi knocked in the door to ask if she (Lucy) was talking about her.

    “I was in the toilet and she came to knock if I was talking to her and I was like aunty if I have anything to say to you I will come to you directly and say it to your face I won’t say anything behind you,” Lucy said.

    While the fight was on, they called themselves unprintable names.

    Ozo, who happens to be Nengi’s love interest and current Head of House, however, tried to step in to calm the situation but couldn’t.

    This is coming after Wathoni and Vee recently reconciled
