A post on X has sparked reactions after a user claimed that Kiddwaya only gained fame because of his appearance on Big Brother Naija.
The user suggested that the reality TV show was the main reason for his rise to public recognition, writing, “Big Brother Naija made Kiddwaya.”
Kiddwaya, who participated in Big Brother Naija Season 5 (Lockdown edition) in 2020, responded directly to the claim, pushing back against the narrative and insisting his influence on the show went beyond what was being suggested online.
He argued that his presence attracted a different category of viewers, linking his background and personality to a more upscale audience.
“I made rich people watch that show. I’m the reason why it’s popular among the 1%”.
His response adds another layer to the ongoing debate online, with some users maintaining that BBNaija boosted his popularity, while he insists his impact on the show was more significant than being just a housemate.
