In the high-octane drama factory of Big Brother Naija Season 10, where every flirt is a strategy and every kiss a potential eviction ticket, evicted housemate Denari has thrown a Molotov cocktail into the house’s already sizzling romantic web. On September 18, 2025, during his tell-all session on Doyin David’s Doyin’s Corner podcast—already infamous for his shade at Dede, Faith, and Imisi—the 27-year-old Anambra storyteller dropped a bombshell about Koyin, the 29-year-old Abuja fitness coach with a playboy rep. “Koyin is playing games with Isabella, he is only with her to get some sugar. Koyin is into Dede more,” Denari spilled, his words slicing through the Season 10 love triangle like a machete. [3] The clip, blasted out by @metronaija on X, detonated with 4,500 views, 180 likes, and 60 replies in hours, turning Koyin into the fandom’s latest villain and Dede the prize in a messy tug-of-war.

Denari’s accusation is pure BBNaija dynamite: Koyin, known for his chiseled abs and smooth-talking charm, has been cozying up to Isabella, the 24-year-old Lagos model with a “soft girl” vibe, in what fans dubbed the season’s steamiest showmance. Their pool party cuddles and late-night whispers—complete with Koyin’s “you’re my type” confession—had shippers betting on #KoyBella as endgame. [5] [19] But Denari, who bonded with Koyin over strategy before his Week 6 eviction, claims it’s all a facade: “sugar” (Naija slang for physical intimacy) is Koyin’s real motive, while his heart’s allegedly set on Dede, the 25-year-old Enugu fashionista already juggling Kola, Ozee, and Handi in her infamous “three fishes” saga. [15] [19] “Koyin’s eyes light up for Dede—those pool moments? Real. Isabella’s just the placeholder,” Denari doubled down, citing Koyin’s “extra attention” during Dede’s dance-offs as proof. [3]
The house context is a romantic minefield. Koyin’s been a focal point since Week 3, when his flirty banter with Dede during a task sparked Kola’s jealous outburst (“She’s playing me!”) in the diary room. [5] Meanwhile, Isabella, who leaned on Koyin after a fallout with Imisi over “stealing shine,” seemed all-in, gushing in Week 5 about his “protective vibe.” [16] But X threads, like one from @Chiiomaa__, hint at cracks: “Isabella was warned by Doris that Koyin’s a player, but she no hear word.” [2] Denari’s earlier tea about Doris spilling on Kola’s discomfort around him ties in here—Doris, once close to Koyin, allegedly clocked his wandering eye for Dede, stirring the pot before her eviction. [2] [3] Posts on X even dug up a Week 4 moment where Koyin told Dede, “You’re the vibe, others are just noise,” fueling Denari’s claim. [19]
X erupted into a virtual courtroom, with #KoyinExposed trending alongside #SaveIsabella. “Koyin’s playing Isabella like FIFA—using her for points while eyeing Dede. Men!” one fan raged, sharing a montage of Koyin-Dede clips that hit 2k likes. [4] Dede’s stans crowed: “Everybody wants our queen! Koyin, join the queue—Dede’s not your pawn.” Isabella’s defenders, though, weren’t laughing: “If this is true, Koyin’s trash. Bella deserves better than ‘sugar’ games,” one tweeted, rallying votes to keep her in the house. [1] Koyin’s apologists pushed back: “Denari’s bitter cos he flopped. Koyin’s just playing the game—BBN no be love island!” [7] Blogs like Creebhills and Legit.ng milked the drama, with headlines screaming “Koyin’s Double Game?” and tallying fan polls—60% siding with Isabella, 30% Team Dede, 10% “Koyin’s just a guy.” [5] [19]
This tea is peak BBNaija chaos, where love’s a chessboard and “sugar” is currency. Denari, fresh off shading half the house, is cementing his post-eviction glow-up as the season’s whistleblower, but his motives aren’t pure—X users like @stunner_xoxo speculate he’s boosting Imisi, another Dede rival, by stirring the pot. [1] Koyin, still in the house, hasn’t addressed the claim, but his diary room smirks hint he’s unbothered. Isabella’s last session, though, showed cracks—tearing up over “trust issues.” [16] In a season with a ₦150 million prize and “10/10” stakes, Denari’s spill isn’t just gossip—it’s a grenade lobbed at Koyin’s gameplan, with Dede as the queen and Isabella as collateral. [0] As one X user quipped, “Koyin wants sugar, but Denari’s serving salt!” Will this push Isabella to confront him, or rally Dede’s votes? In BBNaija’s love labyrinth, Denari’s just lit the fuse—game on.
