I am not a stripper – BBnaija Tuoyo confesses

August 25,2020
Share:

Big Brother Naija Season 4 housemate, Tuoyo Ideh has confessed that, he is not a stripper as claimed while in the reality show.

According to Tuoyo, big brother was his biggest shot at fame and he needed to feel enough hence he labeled himself ‘a part-time stripper’.

He got all the hype he wanted but it wasn’t sustainable as he couldn’t live up to it.

Tuoyob said he wasn’t deriving any pleasure from it and kept feeling he was making a fool of himself.

I am not a stripper  and you will be meeting the real me soon , he added.

Posting a video of himself on Big brother Naija stage  on  Instagram, he captioned;

“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.

But 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 truth 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!!
