In a dramatic turn of events inside the Big Brother Naija Season 10 house, Kayikunmi, one of the most talked-about contestants this season, has announced his desire to exit the show voluntarily just days after entangling himself in a messy web of romance and rivalry.
The emotional breakdown comes after a series of personal setbacks that unfolded in quick succession. Once at the center of attention for his flirtatious closeness with three female housemates Isabella, Thelma, and Mide Kayikunmi now finds himself isolated, defeated, and overwhelmed.
Tensions peaked when Kayikunmi chose to spend time with Thelma, the then-Head of House, a decision that shattered his budding relationship with Isabella, who felt betrayed and publicly severed ties with him. Things worsened when he locked horns with Bright Morgan, a fellow housemate who shares mutual feelings with Mide the very housemate Kayikunmi has a crush on.
The final blow came when Thelma lost her Head of House title to Victory, forcing both her and Kayikunmi out of the exclusive lodge and back into the general house, stripping away the comfort and status they briefly enjoyed.
By Monday evening, visibly shaken and emotionally drained, Kayikunmi confided in fellow housemate Faith about his growing desire to leave the game altogether.
“I want to voluntarily exit,” he said quietly, his voice betraying both frustration and exhaustion.
Faith, however, urged him to reconsider.
“Why do you want to voluntarily exit? No, you are not a b*tch. You have to ask yourself why you want to voluntarily exit,” she responded, hoping to rekindle his fighting spirit.
Kayikunmi’s collapse under the weight of romantic fallout, competition pressure, and social isolation has left fans stunned. Many are now questioning whether his strategy was ever genuine or if he simply played himself out of the game he thought he was controlling.
With 27 housemates still up for eviction, Kayikunmi’s voluntary exit could be the season’s first self-inflicted departure a stark reminder that in the Big Brother house, the game isn’t just about surviving nominations, but surviving your own emotions.
