Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Oluwabamike Adebuniyan, popularly known as BamBam, has disclosed why she went for the reality show.
According to BamBam, she went to the show to gain visibility to help boost her acting career.
In a recent interview, the graduate of the Royal Arts Academy said, “One of the major reasons I went into the Big Brother show was because I needed more visibility as a professionally trained actor.”
She further highlighted the challenges of securing acting roles and the low pay often associated with the profession.
Her words, “It’s not easy to stand out in this industry as a filmmaker because it is very saturated. So, yes, going for a show like Big Brother gives you an unfair advantage over other people.”
Addressing the misconception that reality TV stars prioritise fame over talent, BamBam clarified, “What makes brands come to you is because you are famous. Brands will not want to identify with anybody who does not have great engagement on their social media platforms. So, the social media platform is literally your work tool that makes brands want to work with you.”
