BBNaija Season 11 housemate Keivo has broken his silence following his disqualification from the reality show, admitting that his emotions got the better of him during a physical confrontation with fellow housemate Tram. In a lengthy Instagram post shared on Thursday, October 1, 2026, Nigeria's Independence Day, Keivo took full responsibility for his actions, marking his first public statement since being removed from the house.
Keivo's Apology and Statement on Disqualification
In the post, Keivo acknowledged that his behaviour crossed a line, writing: "My emotions took the best of me. Regardless of how strongly I felt, physical confrontation is never a solution to any situation. And I take full responsibility for my actions." The contestant made it clear that he does not justify his conduct, even as he explained the emotional state that led to the incident.
The former housemate also expressed gratitude to Big Brother, Multichoice, and everyone who supported his time on the show. He credited God for sustaining him throughout the experience and said he would never take lightly the opportunity to share his story on a national platform.
Keivo Thanks Fans and Vows to Return Stronger
Addressing his supporters directly, Keivo acknowledged the sacrifices they made on his behalf. "You believed in me and invested your time, resources, emotions, and love in my journey. I appreciate you more than words can ever express," he said. He closed his message with a note of optimism, declaring that he would learn from the incident and return as a better version of himself, describing himself as "Keivo the Challenger, the Competitor, the man of many talents, the son of Grace, the VICTOR."
The Instagram post, shared via his handle @keivo.ov, has since drawn a wave of reactions from fans and viewers, with opinions sharply divided over whether his apology was sufficient or whether he should directly apologise to Tram.
Mixed Reactions From Fans Over Keivo's Post
Many fans expressed sympathy and support for Keivo, while others insisted he owed Tram an apology. @waringa_20 commented: "Very sweet boy. I'm glad he apologised to fans and friends but not to that silly boy Tram." @praiseworldcollections wrote: "It can happen to anyone... you have done your best in d house. Don't regret anything. Continue to prosper. You are loved, Keivo."
Some reactions were more pointed, with @awilo_richy responding: "Thank you beating Tram though" and @butemihasifah noting: "And Keivo might think they love him, they don't bro, they just hate Tram." @its_jariyaa shared: "I'm proud of you Keivo for owning your mistake. But that beating sweets me oo," while @gabbysbeauty_hub wrote: "Great guy! Shine forth." However, @officialajummy countered: "Apologize to Tram! Physical violence is not acceptable."
