Big Brother Naija Season 10 winner, Imisi, has opened up about a heartbreaking personal tragedy she faced shortly before her rise to fame on the reality show. In an emotional revelation, she shared that she lost her child just weeks before auditioning for BBNaija, a moment she described as one of the most devastating periods of her life.
During an interview on TVC Entertainment, Imisi explained that the incident happened less than a month before she attended the show’s audition. Despite the emotional turmoil, she pushed herself to move forward, using the opportunity of the show as a chance to heal and rediscover her strength.
Imisi speaks on losing child
The reality star described the loss as a deeply painful experience, noting that it shaped her emotional state and influenced how she navigated her time in the house.
She recalled how overwhelming the moment was, adding that she still finds it difficult to discuss publicly due to the intensity of the grief she endured.
She said …
“I lost my baby this year April. It’s not even a month before I auditioned for Big Brother. The whole thing was so overwhelming. I do not want to talk about it.”
Imisi’s pre-BBNaija relationship
Imisi also revealed that she was dealing with a breakup from her ex-boyfriend, Hakeem, before entering the BBNaija house. These challenges, she said, pushed her to be resilient and strengthened her resolve to make something meaningful out of her experience on the show.
It would be recalled that Imisi emerged victorious in the 2025 BBNaija edition on October 5, winning an ₦80 million cash prize alongside a brand-new SUV, marking a remarkable turnaround from the painful events she faced earlier in the year.
