I am not a playboy – Kiddwaya

-

Nobody saw it coming when Kiddwaya was evicted from the Big Brother Naija house last Sunday. In fact, not just a few felt that the guy would be among the last men/ women standing in the reality show.

However, he was booted out of the show and the Benue born guy said he was glad being out.

Kiddwaya, in and out of the show, was seen as a play boy, however, the ex housemate has said he is not at all.

“I’ve always had the tag and I feel like when people get to know me, they get comfortabl­e with me, they know I’m not like that.”

Kiddwaya explained his relationsh­ip with former housemate, Erica, saying, “It’s very real. I have a lot of respect for her.”

“I never thought that was how she was going to leave. She’s a smart girl, a very strong girl, but there was a lot of alcohol that night, and I was already on two strikes with a strong warning, so I didn’t know what I would do that might earn me another strike. At that time, I was looking out for myself,” he said about his involvemen­t in the incident leading up to Erica getting disqualifi­ed from the show.

When asked what attracted him to Erica in the first place, he said, “Her sexiness. She was so comfortabl­e in her skin, and was by far, the most confident girl in the house.”

Following Erica’s exit from the house, Kiddwaya and Laycon got very close. Explaining their relationsh­ip he said, “I really respect his craft and I feel like he showed me love and respect and that was mutual.

If I don’t have an issue with someone, I’m not going to fabricate one from thin air.”

He said he was reluctant to reveal a lot about his background because people might start to feel like he didn’t deserve to be in the house, but first and foremost, he went to the house, to “meet new people, try a different experience, have fun and make connection­s”. The money was never his primary goal.

Kidd’s prowess in the kitchen was also a well known fact. He said watching his mom and sisters cook, whom he described as “strong and beautiful”, influenced him, and he just picked up the skills.
