Popular BBNaija Alum CeeC has discussed her experiences and difficulties as a reality TV celebrity since leaving the BBNaija house.
She recently stated in an appearance on the Echo Room podcast that her original intention was to see the concert and go back to practising law.
“For me, I just wanted to go into the house, experience it, and take whatever lessons I could. I was even willing to go back to practicing law,” she explained.
CeeC expressed gratitude for the support system that helped her navigate the sudden fame.
“When we came out, it was like, ‘What now? Celebrity.’ I was meeting people I used to watch on TV, it was so different. I’m grateful I had the right people around me to help manage the fame and everything that came with it,” she added.
She also discussed the challenge of being defined by her Big Brother experience, stating, “I don’t know if there will ever be a time when I can be seen as more than a BBNaija star. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing because the platform gave us so much.

However, she acknowledged the platform gave her opportunities, and she’s focused on moving forward.
Award-winning artist Wizkid’s assertion that he had “no blueprint” for his rise to fame has caused controversy.
Many people believe that the phrase, which was included in his HBO documentary Long Live Lagos, ignores the important part performed by Banky W, the talented performer whose stamp gave rise to Wizkid.
Critics argued that Wizkid’s statement not only diminished Banky W’s impact on his career but also disregarded the contributions of Nigerian music legends who paved the way for the new generation of artists.
Wizkid also acknowledged the influence of Nigerian music icon Fela Kuti, stating that “Fela Kuti was instrumental to why I believe I could really make music”.
However, social media has been buzzing with mixed reactions following Wizkid’s “no blueprint” to his success.
