BBNaija 10: People expected me to be controversial because of my tattoos – Ivatar
Former Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate, Ifeyinwa Okafor, better known as Ivatar, has opened up about her time in the house, stating that fans often misjudged her personality based on her outward appearance.
In a recent chat with Sunday Scoop, Ivatar explained that many viewers anticipated more drama from her simply because of her tattoos and overall look.
“People have said that they expected more drama from me because of how I look, but I am naturally a very calm person. From the start, I made it clear that the stereotype people have about tattooed individuals doesn’t define me.
“I’m classy and intentional. Of course, I have a fun, crazy side, but only those I’m comfortable with will ever see that. I’m also a mother to an 18-year-old, so I can’t be reckless just to entertain anyone,” she said.
The recently evicted housemate also addressed speculations about a supposed relationship with fellow housemate Kaybobo.
She dismissed the claims as false, noting that a viral photo suggesting they kissed was digitally altered.
“I was shocked when I saw that picture. It never happened. Kaybobo and I are just friends. We connect because we share similar interests, but there is nothing romantic between us,” she clarified.
Ivatar also reflected on her strained relationship with her former close ally, Mensan, before her eviction.
She admitted that while they bonded over shared experiences, she may have handled their friendship differently.
“Maybe I shouldn’t have pulled him into my corner because I felt he was lonely, like I was. We shared some fun moments, but I believe in setting boundaries, and I’ll always stick to that,” she said.
