She disclosed this while featuring on a recent episode of the CreativiTEA podcast hosted by Lynda.

“My first run wasn’t my best run, to be honest. I have been on the show twice, and I came out of the show, and I hated it. I was fake. I came out with the narrative that Doyin is too mature. She is always trying to talk things out; that’s not really me oo. In real life, I fight,” she confessed.

Elsewhere on the podcast, Doyin recounted how a brand terminated her contract because of an interview she granted.

Doyin was among the former Big Brother Naija housemates that returned to the House for the All Stars edition last year.

She was heavily criticised for being “a talkative”.

After her eviction, Doyin claimed that Nigerians are not ready for a reality TV show, slamming fans for voting against her because of her outspoken nature
