Jason Jae Crowned New Head of House in BBNaija Season 10, Stuns Fans by Picking Koyin as Deputy**
The Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) Season 10 house, themed “10/10,” erupted in excitement during Sunday’s live show at 8 PM WAT on DStv Channel 198 and GOtv Channel 49, as Jason Jae, the 29-year-old creative director and musician from Ondo State, emerged as the new Head of House (HoH). In a twist that left fans reeling, Jason Jae selected Koyin, the 21-year-old model from Ogun State, as his deputy and house guest, defying expectations of choosing Sultana. The moment, captured in a viral video shared across X with hashtags #BBNaija and #BBNaijaS10, has sparked heated discussions and reshaped alliances in the high-stakes reality show.
Jason Jae, whose real name is Ayomide James, clinched the HoH title in a fiercely contested challenge, marking his second reign after making history in Week 1 as the first housemate to win and defend the HoH title in the “Sense of Peace” contest. His victory on August 24 grants him immunity from the Week 4 eviction, access to the luxurious HoH lounge, and significant influence over house dynamics, including nominations. With 20 housemates—excluding Jason Jae, Most Influential Player (previously Jason Jae in Week 3), and saved housemates Faith and Mensan—facing eviction tonight, his win is a game-changer.
The choice of Koyin, real name Koyinsola Samod Sanusi, as deputy shocked viewers, as many anticipated Jason Jae would pick Sultana, with whom he has shared flirty moments, including a notable pool party kiss. @kikisgists tweeted, “Congratulations to the interim HOH Jason Jae. He picks Koyin as his house guest #bbnaija,” while @JustEniola01 remarked, “Jason Jae wins HOH and chooses Koyin as his house guest instead of Sultana 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.” @theNETng captured the collective surprise, posting, “Everyone’s reaction when Jason Jae picked Koyin as his guest in the HOH room. Shocked? 😂😂😂.” Koyin, a Leo known for his bold “King of Girls” persona and vibrant energy, will share the HoH lounge with Jason Jae, a decision that has already stirred speculation about shifting alliances.
The announcement comes amid a turbulent Week 4, marked by controversies like Big Soso’s clash with Dede, where Soso called Dede an “ashawo” and questioned her hygiene, and eviction risks for housemates like Denari, Victory, Thelma, Tracy, and Ivatar. Jason Jae’s strategic gameplay, previously evident in his Week 2 nomination of Danboskid and Ibifubara, suggests his HoH reign could further shake up the house. Koyin, who has trended for his charm and a passionate kiss with Sultana, brings a dynamic presence, with @Hooniieytt noting, “Koyin’s energy is unmatched, Jason Jae made a smart pick #BBNaijaS10.”
Fans on X are buzzing with reactions, with some praising Jason Jae’s unexpected choice as a strategic move to broaden his alliances, while others speculate it could strain his connection with Sultana. The new HoH twist, requiring Jason Jae to defend his title within 24 hours, adds pressure to his leadership, especially with a ₦150 million grand prize at stake as the season races toward its October 5, 2025, finale. The live eviction show, hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, is set to reveal the fate of nominated housemates, with Jason Jae and Koyin’s partnership poised to influence the game’s next chapter.
