A devoted fan's four-year relationship ends over Big Brother Naija loyalties—this is the kind of drama you don’t expect but can’t look away from. The recent conclusion of Big Brother Naija season 10, crowned by the victory of Imisi, has sparked not only celebrations but also some surprising personal conflicts that are making headlines.
While the show wrapped up days ago, the passionate fanbase battles continue off-screen, and this time, it’s led to a serious fallout between a couple. In a WhatsApp group dedicated to Faith’s supporters—the disqualified contestant from the show—a man publicly revealed he broke up with his girlfriend because she supports Imisi, Faith’s rival in this heated fan war.
This man explained that his decision was triggered by his girlfriend’s negative remarks about Faith, which he found deeply offensive and disrespectful. Holding his loyalty to Faith above all else, he felt compelled to end their relationship despite their four years together. He wrote in the group chat, "I just had a serious altercation with my girlfriend because she’s a staunch fan of Imisi. She spoke badly about my capable doctor Faith, and I saw that as disrespectful. Therefore, out of commitment to my principles and loyalty to Faith, I decided to end things."
This breakup over reality TV allegiances has stirred a whirlwind of reactions online, dividing viewers and fans alike. Some comments show support for the man’s loyalty, while others criticize the harshness of ending a long-term relationship over a TV show’s fan preference.
For instance, Favour Mucheal sarcastically remarked that only Faith’s fans are so dedicated, suggesting humorously a patient-doctor relationship dynamic. Mary Vincent felt the girlfriend should have ended it earlier upon realizing her boyfriend’s unwavering fandom. Johnson SinuolaTyc questioned whether Faith would ever compensate the man for such a loss, while Nora Justine Eyo lamented the girl’s unawareness of what she might have saved herself from. Meanwhile, Tinashe Train warned about the risks of losing a relationship over fan wars but added a light-hearted tone about the seriousness of her exams. Precious Chinwe and Bukky Bukola expressed that the girlfriend should feel fortunate or escape such maddening loyalty to Faith.
Adding more context to this fan feud, Imisi herself addressed rumors regarding her friendship with Faith in a post-show interview. While acknowledging Faith as an interesting and intelligent individual, Imisi confirmed their friendship has ended due to some untrue things Faith allegedly said about her. This revelation adds another layer to the ongoing drama between supporters of both contestants.
But here’s where it gets controversial: Is it truly worth ending years of companionship over a difference in TV show fandom? Or does deep loyalty to someone you admire justify such drastic measures? This story pulls into focus how reality TV can affect real relationships—sometimes in unexpected and even painful ways.
What do you think? Should fans be able to separate their admiration for contestants from their personal lives, or are such intense loyalties inevitable in passionate fan cultures? Share your thoughts and let us know if you agree or disagree with this dramatic breakup in the comments below!
