Big Brother Naija Season 11 is only days old, but fans are already digging into the pasts of the housemates competing for the ₦160 million grand prize. Under the theme "Show Ya Self," old videos and personal stories have resurfaced, revealing that some contestants had notable screen appearances long before entering Biggie's house.
Tram's Pre-Show Controversies
Tram has become one of the most talked-about contestants after clips from his IShowSpeed livestream, along with marriage drama and debt allegations, resurfaced online. In one video, Tram introduced the American streamer to a lady and handed him a condom, asking him not to show anyone. The clip sparked widespread criticism at the time. Tram later addressed the backlash, explaining that he had only been trying to be funny.
His personal life has also returned to the spotlight. Despite circulating wedding photos and videos of Tram and his wife, reports suggest the couple are no longer together. While Tram has spoken affectionately about her inside the house, his wife hinted on Instagram that she is moving on. "Some people are asking where I am. I'm still picking up the pieces after putting my trust, my heart, my money and my future in the wrong hands," she wrote. "For those wondering, he is still legally married to me."
Earlier, a TikToker named Olise claimed that Tram's wife left him after allegedly discovering he wanted to use the marriage to secure a green card. Additionally, allegations of a ₦400 million debt surfaced, which Tram denied in an interview. "First of all, I do not owe 400million. 2024, I was involved in a viral car accident. Thank God no one died, but none of the cars were rented. The cars belong to a friend of mine, and he was also involved in the accident, and this is the part that social media doesn't understand," he stated.
Abi's Celebrity Appearances
Abi is another contestant whose past has caught viewers' attention. Before joining BBNaija, she appeared in music videos for Afrobeats superstars Davido and Wizkid. Since entering the house, old clips showcasing her lively personality have gone viral. One particularly emotional video captured the moment her husband watched her walk onto the BBNaija stage. Abi had earlier revealed that he initially opposed her decision to join the reality show.
Yusuf's Acting Career
Unlike some of his fellow contestants, Yusuf is no stranger to the screen. Before becoming a BBNaija housemate, he built a career as an actor, appearing in films including Ruth Kadiri's Demand and Supply, Married to the Throne, and several others. Following his unveiling, the producer took to Instagram to wish him success on the show, adding to the growing support for his BBNaija journey.
As the season unfolds, viewers are likely to uncover more about the housemates' pasts, keeping the "Show Ya Self" theme alive both inside and outside the house.
