Big Brother Naija Season 10 winner Imisi, in a recent interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu opened up about her breakup with her boyfriend, Hakeem, just weeks before the show’s audition.
She described the separation as “hectic” and admitted that she didn’t have time to heal before entering the house. Imisi revealed that her ex-boyfriend influenced her style and dressing because that’s what he liked.
She even changed her appearance to please him, wearing makeup and frontals, as he liked girls who looked girly.
“The Imisi you saw on social media was not really me. My dressing and style were influenced by my ex, Hakeem, because that’s what he liked. He liked when I wore makeup and frontals, so I did that to please him because he was my safe place.
He liked girls who looked girly, and he was the only person I had at the time. But we broke up on April 4, before I went for the audition in May. It was really a hectic breakup, and I didn’t have the time to heal before the show.” she said.
The reason for their breakup was due to Hakeem’s infidelity while Imisi was pregnant with his child. Despite Hakeem’s apology and promise to change, Imisi couldn’t forgive him, especially considering his actions during her pregnancy.
Tragically, she miscarried the pregnancy at three months, adding to her emotional pain.
Despite the emotional pain, Imisi braced up and contested the Big Brother Naija show emerging as winner and taking home a cash prize of ₦80 Million and a brand new Innoson SUV.
