Former Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate Oluwakayikunmi “Kayikunmi” Ajibade has dropped a surprising revelation about his time in the “10/10” house, shedding light on his calculated approach to the game. In a recent interview circulating on X, the 29-year-old entrepreneur and fitness enthusiast from Ogun State clarified his stance on romance rumors, stating, “I had a game plan, I did not want to be in a ship with Isabella. I just wanted to be by myself.”
Kayikunmi’s candid confession, shared via a clip posted by entertainment page NaijaVibes, has set social media abuzz, with fans dissecting his solo strategy and speculating on what could have been with fellow housemate Isabella Odoeme. The duo, who were evicted together on August 17 as the third pair to leave the show, had sparked early “ship” buzz among viewers due to their playful chemistry. However, Kayikunmi’s revelation makes it clear he was all about keeping his eyes on the ₦150 million prize, not a house romance.
“I went in with a clear plan—stay focused, stay sharp, no distractions,” Kayikunmi elaborated, his tone calm but resolute. Known for his disciplined workouts and introspective diary sessions in the house, the self-described “lone wolf” admitted he avoided entanglements to maintain his mental clarity. “Isabella’s cool, don’t get me wrong, but I wasn’t there for a love story. I wanted to play my own game,” he added, quashing any notions of a budding “KayiBella” ship.
Fans on X have had mixed reactions. Some praised his strategic mindset, with one user posting, “Kayikunmi knew what he was about! Respect the focus 💪 #BBNaija.” Others felt his solo approach may have cost him, as another wrote, “Bros, a little ship might’ve kept you longer o! Strategy too tight 😂.” Despite his early exit alongside Otega Eritomi, Kayikunmi’s disciplined vibe and sharp one-liners made him a fan favorite during his brief stint.
With the BBNaija Season 10 finale looming and housemates like Jason Jae and Gigi Jasmine dominating the spotlight, Kayikunmi’s post-eviction reveal offers a glimpse into the high-stakes strategizing that defines the game. Now back in the real world, the fitness guru is teasing new ventures, including a potential wellness brand launch. Whether his lone-wolf tactic would’ve carried him to the ₦150 million remains a hot topic, but one thing’s certain: Kayikunmi played by his own rules.
