Former BBNaija Season 9 housemate Nelly has drawn intense backlash after stating that the Mbadiwe Twins Ocee and Ozee, brothers from a prominent family did not deserve their place in the show or the prominence they received.
Nelly, who reached the finals as part of the Nelita duo, questioned the twins’ contributions and merit beyond their celebrity status, challenging the popular narrative that their entry added drama or substance to the season.
“They didn’t deserve to be on the show,” she asserted in a candid interview, sparking heated discussion across social media.
The Mbadiwe Twins had been thrust into the spotlight early on, emerging as the first Head of House through a tied vote resolved by custodians, despite no immunity attached to the title.
Their selection, seen by some fans as engineered, generated mixed reactions. While some praised their charisma and legal background, others questioned whether their family pedigree outweighed actual performance in the house.
In contrast, Nelly argued that social media buzz often overshadows genuine gameplay and personality.
She sparked further controversy by saying things shouldn’t work on connections.
