Reality TV star Whitemoney has ignited fresh controversy online following comments he made during a TikTok Live session about fellow former Big Brother Naija housemates.
In a viral clip circulating across social media platforms, the BBNaija winner made remarks about Mercy Eke and Maria Chike suggesting they had not “made it in life.”
What Whitemoney Said During the Live Session
During the livestream, Whitemoney reportedly stated:
“Mercy Eke and Maria Chike are the first two light skin ladies from Big Brother that never made it in life. One married successfully. The other didn’t marry, was used and dumped and was given Lambo as compensation.”
The statement quickly triggered heated reactions, with many viewers describing the comments as controversial and unnecessary.
Social Media Reacts
Shortly after the video surfaced, Nigerians took to various platforms to express mixed opinions.
While some users attempted to interpret his comments within a broader context, others strongly criticized the remarks, calling them disrespectful and dismissive of the women’s achievements.
The clip has since continued to trend, fueling debates about personal success, public image, and the pressures faced by reality TV stars after leaving the spotlight.
Mercy Eke and Maria Chike’s Post-BBNaija Journey
Mercy Eke, winner of Big Brother Naija Season 4, made history as the first female winner of the franchise. Since her victory, she has built a strong brand presence through endorsements, entrepreneurial ventures, and media appearances.
Similarly, Maria Chike, who gained prominence during Season 6 of the show, has also established herself in the entertainment and influencer space, working with brands and maintaining an active public profile.
Both women remain prominent figures in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
The Bigger Conversation
Whitemoney’s remarks have once again highlighted how statements from public figures can quickly escalate into major online discussions.
As conversations continue to unfold, neither Mercy Eke nor Maria Chike has publicly responded to the viral comments at the time of this report.
“Mercy Eke and Maria Chike are the first two light skin ladies from Big brother that never made it in life. One married successfully. The other didn’t marry, was used and dumped and was given Lambo as compensation.”
