Here are the conversation highlights from what Boma and Tega said about their time on the show.
Boma – I go on set and I act with married women. If you want a show, Iโll give you a show. It was a full show. I didnโt go to no oneโs house to grab anyoneโs girl. I was in a show, I knew the world was seeing me, it was a show โ thatโs how I thought about it. Until I came out and was like โOh.โ I only apologized for peace sake so I wonโt be arguing with the whole country. Not because I did what they say I did. Sometimes you have to choose your battles.
Tega – The show is rated 18 and the show is mainly for entertainers and every other person in every other walk of life. For me, Iโm an entertainer, Iโm an actor. If I go into a show like that, Iโm not even normal to start with. Iโve grown up with controversies around me โ the ones I know about and the ones I do not know. So I always know that something like that go get k-leg but then, itโs a show. Weโre meant to explore every angle of the show regardless and yes, the show is rated 18. If Iโm to be on a reality show that involves being paid 1 million dollars to act like his girlfriend or youโre to be his girlfriend, wonโt I do everything? Iโm supposed to be everything if I want to be.
Boma – Nigerians have a hypocritical culture. Nigerians are being hypocrites, in capital letters.
Tega – Of course [Nigerians are being hypocrites]. Weโre being openly judgmental because we just react to things we see and things we hear. Itโs been our life โ whether itโs reality show or entertainment or politics, we just react to what we are seeing at the moment.
Boma – How dare you call me out on the things you do on the daily basis? Iโm living peopleโs dreams. People are going to be mad regardless. The only people I do feel some type of way or sorrow about are my fans who believed in me and thought I could have gone a little longer.
Tega – You donโt expect to go on a show like that and be boring. Our country is already too hard, people are looking for something to excite them, to distract them from their problems. You canโt go and be sleeping, you canโt go and be keeping quiet. Coming out of the show and seeing how stuff are, we went too hard. The frequency in that house is not the frequency outside. I wonโt really say I regret it, I had fun.
