Without prompting, Doris brought up the rumour, citing hearsay from within the house:
“I keep hearing that Dede is a sugar baby. Someone was like, ‘Where do you think she got the money from to buy all these clothes and hair? She doesn’t work.’ They said her boyfriend is some old big shot. I think Sabrina said it too.”
The conversation quickly gained traction as Sultana and Sabrina lent weight to the allegation. Sultana added that Dede might be holding back from pursuing a romantic relationship with fellow housemate Jason Jae due to concerns about being watched by her alleged benefactor.
“She likes Jason Jae, but she can’t be open about it. Her sugar daddy is watching,” Sultana claimed, suggesting that Dede and Jason had agreed to keep things discreet until after the show ends and the cameras are gone.
Sabrina, for her part, said she had already warned Kola—another housemate showing romantic interest in Dede—that she believed Dede was “using him and the other guys for attention,” and had no intentions of forming any genuine bond in the house.
While Dede has yet to respond to the allegations, the whispers have added a new layer of drama to the house, spotlighting not only romantic entanglements but the increasing scrutiny of housemates’ lifestyles and offscreen affiliations.
As Big Brother Naija viewers continue to dissect the dynamics unfolding in the house, these fresh revelations—whether factual or fuelled by rivalry—are sure to spark conversation both within and beyond the BBNaija walls. Whether Dede chooses to address the claims directly may shape perceptions in the days ahead, as housemates grapple with trust, image, and strategy under the ever-watchful eye of Big Brother.
