Tuoyo Ideh has denied in an Instagram post that he is a stripper. The former BBNaija housemate has decided to come clean having been “living a lie” for over a year now.
According to Tuoyo Ideh, he lied he was a stripper because he wanted to stay relevant and get some extra clout. However, despite getting the hype, he could not sustain it because being a stripper just was not him. Eventually, his reputation and brand started to suffer. The reality TV star wrote in a lengthy post:
“For over a year now I’ve been living a lie. Some people have advised me to go on with it but I fear for my mental health and my future so I’ve chosen to come out.
“Big brother was my biggest shot at fame and nothing in the world could have stopped me from grabbing it with both hands but somehow I felt like I wasn’t enough and I needed to do more and BE more in order to stay relevant and to get some extra clout.
“I was desperate, the magnitude of the competition i was going for even made me more desperate so I attached a tag to myself – “I’m a Part-time Stripper,” I said to the whole world.
“I got the hype I wanted but it was unsustainable, I couldn’t live up to it because actually that’s not who I am but because I have the body I tried to force it, to push if I could keep living the lie to make it become truth but the more I did, the more I regretted.
“I wasn’t deriving any pleasure and in fact I felt like I was making a fool of myself so I had to stop. And I’m here to say I’m sorry I lied, no one is perfect, my ultimate strategy has turned back to hurt my reputation and my brand.
“My name is Tuoyo Ideh AND I AM NOT A STRIPPER. You’ll be meeting the REAL me very soon. Cheers to a new beginning!!”
