    BBTitans: Yemi Cregx engages Miracle OP in war of words

    BBTitans house witnessed another fight between two housemates. And again, the two housemates involved in the fight are of Nigerian origin.

    Yemi Cregx and Miracle finally set it off in a heated argument after the two seem to have been fighting for Khosi’s attention.

    Earlier in the week, Khosi had returned to Yemi Cregx and even slept in his bed even after kicking off another ship with Miracle.

    On Thursday at the second pool party, Yemi Cregx was visibly seen exchanging public displays of affection with Blue Aiva and Khosi, despite being with Miracle OP, wasn’t going to allow it to fly.

    After the pool party was winding down, she met with Blue Aiva to express her dissatisfaction with her kissing and romancing her man.

    Following the moment, Khosi met with Yemi Cregx to explain her disappointment and inquired why Yemi Cregx was embarrassing and slighting her with Blue Aiva. The two had a long discussion until after dinner. During their discussion, Miracle OP interrupted saying he needed to have time with his partner and much later, Yemi Cregx walked to him to express his disappointment saying he felt insulted by Miracle, whom he had no issues with.

    However, on Friday night, the two who maintained a distance from one another all day went all into it in the wee hours of Saturday morning when they had a shouting match and heated argument.

  • BBTitans: Marvin talks ship with Jaypee

    BBTitans: Marvin talks ship with Jaypee

    BBTitans housemate Marvin seems to be proposing a relationship with fellow Nigerian housemate Jaypee.

    The fitness star was spotted talking to Jaypee in the garden about his attraction to her and the reasons for his feelings for her.

    Marvin admitted to Jaypee that he liked her but was attracted to other girls and was attempting to navigate his feelings for them. Jaypee, who was intrigued, inquired about which of the housemates he was also interested in, and then mentioned a few names. 

    Marvin avoids answering the question, but Jaypee does not appear satisfied with being told she is the object of Marvin’s attraction.

    Marvin seemed unphased when Jaypee asked how he would react if the tables were turned. In fact, he admitted to being drawn to Jaypee because they hold similar views on the issue of relationships in the house.

    Jaypee had told Marvin that she had decided not to dwell on finding a love interest in the house, but that she was not completely against the idea. She also revealed that she was not an enthusiast of ships moving beyond the four walls of the house and had made up her mind that it could be a possibility if she gets into a ship. 

    Marvin responded to all of this by saying that he understands how being in the house causes people to seek relationships and that he has decided to focus solely on “vibes” because he wants a relationship that will last beyond the house.

  • BBTitans: Olivia and Lukay form unlikely pair

    BBTitans: Olivia and Lukay form unlikely pair

    BBtitans housemates, Olivia and Lukay have formed an unlikely pair and one common factor has been a large dose of gossip.

    Just after Yemi Cregx had lamented over Olivia, Jenni O, and Nana’s insistent gossip, Olivia seemed to have found a gist and gossip partner in Lukay.

    The most unlikely pair today had a gist session in the garden that had viewers glued to their TV screens.

    Olivia and Lukay had a long chat in the garden about the fight between Miracle OP and Yemi Cregx. They both agreed that Khosi was playing a game with Miracle OP and Yemi Cregx because they found her movements between the two male housemates suspicious.

    Olivia, who looked really concerned, came to the conclusion that if Khosi is not careful, her game plan will blow up in her face. The two then moved on to discussing other ships in the house.

    The gossip pair believe Yvonne is settling for Juicy Jay because she can’t have who she really wants. Lukay mentioned that Yvonne tried to escape Juicy Jay’s clutches, but his insistence got her in a chokehold. Speaking of Juicy Jay, Lukay told Olivia that Juicy Jay was also after Ipeleng at some point, but she just did not pay him any attention.

    Lukay also touched base on his ship, making it clear that no other guy would step up to Ipeleng in the house. His ego is too big for him to question Ipeleng, and he knows that if any man steps up to her, she is definitely going to spill the tea to him when they have their private moments.

    The pair rounded up their session with the claim that Khosi was leading Miracle OP, Thabang, and Yemi Cregx on. They said Khosi was playing a game, and it was definitely working for her because viewers must have been entertained by the fight between Miracle OP and Yemi Cregx.

    BBTitans: Yemi Cregx slams Jenni O, Nana, others

    One of the 12 Nigerian housemates in the BBTitans house Yemi Cregx has called out his female compatriots in the house, Jenni O, Olivia, Yvonne and Nana for their continual gossip.

    Yemi was particularly critical of Jenni O, maintaining that, unlike Nigerian housemates, South African housemates virtually never discuss or complain about one another.

    ”It’s wrong to be gossiping about South African housemates. It is not nice, and it does not reflect well on Nigeria as a whole”, he said.

    One of the female housemates also admitted that the only work they do in the house is to gossip and do relationships.

    BBTitans: Juicy Jay in a love triangle with Yvonne and Jenni O

    As the ships are on the increase in the BBTitans’ house, some housemates are smitten and basking in love, while others are stuck in situationships.

    Joining the list of love triangles in the Big Brother house are Jenni O, Juicy Jay and Yvonne.

    Juicy Jay has clearly worked his charm on the women in the house, and Yvonne and Jenni O have fallen head-over-heels.

    What was supposed to be a game between the two ladies has turned into mild heartbreak for Jenni O. Juicy Jay knows how to play the game – after flirting with Yvonne and showing her off as his official girl, as soon as she steps away, his next girl is Jenni O.

    It was hard not to notice the tension between the two on Friday afternoon. While some housemates enjoyed the Friday night games, Yvonne and Jenni O side-eyed each other and made sure that they kept out of each other’s way; no spoken words were exchanged.
