In a surprising revelation during Sunday’s live eviction show, Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate, Kuture, confessed that he deliberately avoided becoming Head of House (HoH) until the fourth week, citing the emotional stress and chaotic behavior of fellow contestants.
Big Brother Naija, which first aired in 2006 as a Nigerian adaptation of the international Big Brother reality TV franchise, has grown into one of Africa’s most-watched and influential television shows. After a long hiatus following its debut season, the show returned in 2017 and has since become a yearly cultural phenomenon, launching the careers of numerous entertainers and public figures. Its format—which includes weekly tasks, evictions, and the Head of House system—creates constant drama, alliances, and rivalry among housemates.
Speaking with show host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the 27-year-old didn’t hold back, saying, “HoH comes with a lot of responsibilities. It is easier to control animals than human beings.” His comment sparked reactions across social media, with many praising his honesty while others questioned his leadership drive.
Kuture went further to explain that the lack of respect shown toward the current HoH, Jason Jae, served as a warning sign for him. “Some housemates don’t even respect the HoH, and I am not mentally ready for that yet,” he stated.
Kuture’s blunt assessment adds fresh tension to the already fiery dynamics of the BBNaija house, where power plays and personality clashes dominate daily interactions.
