Big Brother Africa runner-up, Tayo Faniran, has alleged that he was threatened by the show organisers after the show’s finale seven years ago when he wanted to speak up about his concerns.
He stated this on Monday, as he gave details of his ordeal after the show ended. In a lengthy rant on Instagram, which began on Sunday, the actor had demanded explanations from the organisers, concerning the outcome of the results.
Big Brother Africa season 9 which aired in 2014, was the last season of the show, and Tanzanian actor, Idris Sultan, emerged as the winner, while Faniran was the runner-up.
Seven years after, Faniran claimed that he heard he was robbed of winning the prize, and had wanted to speak up, only for him to be threatened.
He wrote, “To all those enemies of mine, the fake friends, the ones that came to my life to take from me even when I put them on and turned to spite me and ruin my name,(build alliances against me) you all can have a party tonight coz I failed (all thanks to humans) but I’m owning it. It’s left for God to not fail now.
“When I wake up, @mnettv @africamagic and @multichoice_group need to tell me what really happened to me on the finale /stage of BBA. I don’t want my career in the industry threatened, I just want proof and explanation because for the past 7 years, all I hear everyday was that I got robbed. My pain or loss tonight didn’t start today, but they are mentioned because since I’ve been shut up to fight back then.” (sic)
In the recent Instagram post, he said, “I was threatened to shut up, I have names and events, they bought the media to hide my real cry at my homecoming press conference and projected nonsense. The next morning on NTA, I started praising the same people that shot me in the foot because I was told that’s the only way for them not to make me forgotten.” (sic)
