The BBNaija All Stars peaked at new heights as it plays on our heartstrings this morning. Our favourite carefree Cross was in heavy emotions as he poured out his heart to Biggie in the diary room.
Cross was upset because he believed that fans had formed a false narrative about his statements during the Live eviction show on Sunday. The whole debacle started when Ebuka asked Mercy Eke a question.
He asked Mercy about her thoughts on who should win the show. Mercy s[oke eloquently about how she would love a lady to win. She gave her abridged speech supporting women’s empowerment and sisterhood.
However, Cross did not concur with these sentiments when asked. Cross revealed that women had it easier outside the BBNaija show as compared to their male counterparts. It seemed to cause a stare as many felt he was being sexist and accusing women of sleeping with men for money.
Cross tried to vindicate himself but it was too late as many ran with the narrative of sexism. He seemed to be aware of this narrative flying among voting fans hurting his chances of winning the game. He immediately sought ways to rectify the situation and explain himself.
Today, in the diary room, Cross an opportunity was presented. He talked about how God would never want to help someone in a way that man can take the glory. He seemed to be referring to the show and the audience, that if he did not win the show, it would not stop God from making him a success. He said this is what Seyi had shared with him.
Biggie encouraged him to be specific, and our allegations seemed to be true. Cross told Biggie about his childhood. He talked about how when his dad was assassinated, having been a financially well man. Things became difficult for the family. They were unable to come to terms with the reality they were thrown into so suddenly.
He told Biggie that friends of his father refused to help his mother to pay their school fees because she refused to sleep with them. Despite the pressure, he revealed that his mom did not succumb. His mom worked hard to ensure that her kids remained in the school that they were in before the death of his dad.
He said his mom did not want them to change schools even if the fees were cumbersome with no help. he tells Biggie how grateful he is for his mother. She upheld her morals and financially su[pportef her children despite the difficulty.
He explained how he valued women and wanted them to hold more prominent offices. He loves his mom, who is a woman, therefore, his words on Sunday should not be misconstrued.
He explained that women had it easier in the world. He talked about friends who would give money to girls they just met but would be unwilling to help friends that they have known for years.
“If a woman is fine and, as the house, a man can give her the 100 Million”, Cross explained.
What do we think about Cross’s claims about women? Did his story make you cry?
