Kizz Daniel’s arrest, BBN’s Beauty disqualification top social media trends

Reality TV show, Big Brother Naija “Level Up” edition, has continued to dominate social media trends since the show kicked off on July 23.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) while keeping tab on trends, noted that a “record breaking” disqualification of a housemate and other dramas generated several reactions on the social media during the week.

On Aug. 7, BBN housemate, Beauty Tukura, known as Beauty, was disqualified after actions which Big Brother described as “out of line”.

Beauty had earlier in the week been given a strike for an altercation between her and Ilebaye, during which she pulled the housemate’s wig.

Also, on Aug.6, Beauty had a misunderstanding with Groovy after the Saturday night party and threw her wig and glasses at him while she also attempted to break the housemate’s microphone.

She was eventually issued a double strike by Big Brother, which made her the first housemate to receive a strike and also get disqualified in the first week before an eviction.

On Monday, Nigerian singer, Kizz Daniel was arrested in Tanzania during his Afro-classic Tour after he did not show up for a show which he had been paid for.

The social media was agog after Kizz Daniel was seen escorted to a police station by policemen on the orders of the show promoter.

There were different reports alleging that Kizz Daniel refused to perform because his gold chain or some clothes were left behind on his previous flight.

Kizz Daniel’s Road Manager, however, in live streamed conference on Instagram with media personality, Daddy Freeze, said lack of coordination and proper arrangement of the slated event by promoters of the show led to the misunderstanding.

Kizz Daniel subsequently apologised for the incident and decided to perform at a later date for free.

While the social media was cooling off with Kizz Daniel’s arrest, reality TV show, BBN began trending after housemates Khalid and Daniella were seen making movements under the duvet.

The housemates turned lovers were wrapped under the sheets as the camera showed movements which viewers described as “aggressive cuddling”, on social media.
