In a heartfelt moment on BBNaija S10, housemate Kola confessed deep feelings for Dede, telling her:
“You’re the only one here for me, and I mean every word of it. … I don’t talk to anyone the way I talk to you, and when I wink at you… I find it sexy as well.”
The sincerity in Kola’s expression heightened the tension in the house. Dede responded cautiously, seeking to avoid complications:
“You started it. I’m trying to stay safe, I don’t want everything to be all messy.”
Their candid exchange intensified when Dede reminded him of their agreement to avoid discussing each other with other housemates. Kola, gently hugging her, pleaded: “Just hear me out. What have you heard? Just tell me.”
Kola admitted that his emotional investment in Dede weighed heavily on him. “I talk about you with everybody. This hurts so crazy… I’m just trying my best to be on your good side right now,” he shared.
Earlier in the season, Kola had consciously pulled back from pursuing Dede romantically, comparing his situation to the infamous Ozo-Nengi dynamic and expressing a desire to avoid similar backlash.
This moment adds to a pattern of romantic tensions in the house. Recently, Jason Jae and Kola teamed up to voice frustration over Dede’s shifting emotional availability, accusing her of using them before moving on.
Meanwhile, Dede previously clarified her stance: she is in a serious relationship outside the house, resulting in a platonic approach with fellow male housemates.
