Recently evicted BBN All Stars housemate Terry Waya, known as Kiddwaya, says his girlfriend, Laura, will eventually rekindle their connection despite unfollowing him on Instagram due to his controversial kiss with Mercy Eke.

In a recent interview with Beat 99.9 FM Lagos, the evicted housemate clarified that his actions were all part of the game dynamics within the house. 

He stated, “My relationship is going well. We are solid. In any regular relationship, challenges may arise, but I’m Kiddwaya—what could go wrong?”

Kiddwaya added, “Don’t worry; she’ll follow me back. I believe it’s because she’s not accustomed to the game. Big Brother is an extraordinary experience—a world, platform, and game filled with craziness.”

Laura unfollowed the billionaire’s son on Instagram after he acknowledged kissing Mercy while conversing with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu during the live eviction show on Sunday. 

The kiss triggered a flurry of criticisms from fans, prompting diverse reactions across social media.

“You need to comprehend the steps required to get ahead. Certain aspects were unclear to her, but with time, she’ll grasp them. She will come around,” Kiddwaya affirmed.

Following Kiddwaya’s eviction by the jury, the organisers removed the jury system and allowed viewers to select their preferred housemates. 

Kiddwaya and Tolani Baj were up for eviction, receiving the lowest votes. 

However, the three-member jury comprising former BB Naija contestants Saskay, Elozonam, and Vee determined it was time for Kiddwaya to leave the show.

Kiddwaya’s departure now places him alongside Princess and Uriel, the first two housemates to be evicted from the show.
