In the pressure-cooker chaos of Big Brother Naija Season 10, where every whisper is a plot twist and every glance a strategy, evicted housemate Denari has dropped a revelation that’s turned the house’s tangled romantic web into a full-blown soap opera. On September 18, 2025, during his no-holds-barred tell-all on Doyin David’s Doyin’s Corner podcast, the 27-year-old Anambra storyteller—already stirring the pot by calling Dede “boring” and Faith and Imisi “crazy-making”—unleashed a juicy tidbit about a conversation with his in-house sweetheart, Doris. “Doris told me that Kola do feel uncomfortable around me,” Denari spilled, his tone a mix of smugness and surprise, hinting at a deeper rift in the house’s hottest love triangle involving Kola, Doris, and Dede. [3] The clip, shared by @metronaija on X, exploded with 3,200 views and 45 replies, reigniting fan wars over loyalties and hidden tensions. [3]
Denari’s bombshell paints a vivid picture: Kola, the 28-year-old Ekiti quality analyst with a “calm but magnetic” vibe, apparently felt uneasy around Denari, likely due to his tight bond with Doris, a 33-year-old Imo actress and self-proclaimed “10/10” firecracker. [6] [21] Doris and Denari’s budding romance was a Season 10 highlight—think heartwarming diary room confessions and her gushing over his “quiet, attentive” charm—until her Week 6 eviction left him reeling. [13] [18] But Kola, who’s been vocal about his steamy attraction to Dede (“She’s the only one who gets my attention”), also had a flirty history with Doris, from matching aso-oke outfits to hand-holding moments that she read as “signals.” [0] [19] Denari’s reveal suggests Doris spilled that Kola’s discomfort stemmed from Denari’s presence, possibly threatening his game plan or stirring jealousy in a house where Dede’s “three fishes” (Kola, Koyin, Jason Jae) already had tongues wagging. [15]
The context is pure BBNaija chaos. Kola’s been juggling feelings for Dede—confronting her over cozy pool party moments with Koyin—while navigating Imisi’s obsessive crush, which had her hiding cutlery in a jealous fit over his bonds with others. [5] [16] [17] Doris, meanwhile, wasn’t just Denari’s boo; she actively meddled, reportedly discouraging Kola from chasing Dede and enlisting Sabrina to “talk sense” into him, as X users like @Chiiomaa__ and @stunner_xoxo exposed: “Doris constantly asked Sabrina to speak with him… we were stressed from her container nagging.” [2] [5] Her eviction didn’t cool the drama—posts on X claim she “ended her friendship with Kola over Dede,” framing her as a master strategist or, per @AyeeshaLiq, “a weapon fashioned against Kola.” [4] [7] [22]
X lit up like a Lagos nightclub, with fans splitting into camps. “Denari spilling Doris’ tea? Kola’s shook because Denari was winning Doris’ heart—man’s insecure!” one user hyped, while another shaded: “Doris was gaslighting Kola to pick her over Dede, now she’s using Denari to spill? Messy queen.” [2] Dede’s stans swung hard: “Kola’s uncomfortable cos Denari saw through his player game—Dede deserves better!” Imisi’s fans, still smarting from her own Kola obsession, chimed in: “Imisi said Doris was too jealous—now we know why,” referencing her chat with Kola about avoiding Doris outside the house. [1] [20] Blogs like Creebhills and Daily Post fanned the flames, tying Denari’s quote to Kola’s “stupid” outburst over Dede’s Koyin cuddle, painting a house where no heart is safe. [5] [19]
This tea is peak BBNaija: a love quadrangle (Kola-Dede-Doris-Imisi) with Denari as the post-eviction narrator, exposing cracks in Kola’s “calm” facade. In a season dubbed “10/10” for its ₦150 million prize and ruthless strategy, Doris’ whisper to Denari—whether true or tactical—shows how feelings fuel the game as much as tasks. [0] Kola, still in the house, hasn’t responded, but his diary room shade about “not vibing with Imisi outside” suggests he’s dodging emotional landmines. [20] Denari, now out with Tracy, is milking his spotlight, with fans split 60-40 on X between “he’s spilling truth” and “he’s stirring drama for clout.” [3]
At its core, this is Naija reality TV gold: love, loyalty, and leaks colliding in a house where “uncomfortable” is just code for “you’re a threat.” Denari’s exit hasn’t dulled his edge—he’s turned Doris’ whisper into a megaphone, leaving Kola, Dede, and the fandom to pick up the pieces. As one X user quipped, “Denari said ‘Kola’s shook’? Biggie, give us the diary room footage!” In BBNaija’s chessboard, this checkmate just moved the queen—and the drama’s only getting started.
