Fresh from his dramatic exit from the Big Brother Naija Season 10 house, Denari is serving unfiltered tea in his post-eviction interviews, and it’s scalding. The 28-year-old singer-songwriter, who captured hearts with his “Dorenari” romance and raw talent, didn’t hold back when discussing fractured alliances, singling out housemates Kola and Joanna for a blunt verdict: “I don’t think I’ll have any friendship with Kola and Joanna outside the house.” The bombshell, dropped during a candid chat with host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, has set social media ablaze, reigniting debates about loyalty, strategy, and the cutthroat dynamics of the “10/10” season.
Denari’s eviction last Sunday alongside Tracy capped a rollercoaster Week 7, where 14 housemates faced the public vote in a no-immunity twist that shook the house. [5] Still reeling from the shock departure of his on-screen love interest Doris the week prior, Denari’s game unraveled, and now he’s pointing fingers at Kola and Joanna for souring his Biggie experience. “There was a lot of fake energy in there,” Denari revealed, his frustration palpable. “Kola and Joanna were tight with me early on, but the minute things got heated—tasks, nominations—they flipped. It was all strategy, no loyalty.” [0]
The beef traces back to Week 4’s Head of House games, where Kola, a 30-year-old fitness trainer, and Joanna, a 25-year-old fashion stylist, formed a clique with Denari and Doris under the “Vibe Tribe” banner. Fans initially loved their synergy, with X posts hyping their pool party antics and coordinated task outfits. But cracks emerged during the Week 5 wager task, where Kola allegedly threw Denari under the bus over a botched choreography, blaming him for the group’s lackluster score. Joanna, meanwhile, was caught in leaked lounge chats shading Denari’s “overly emotional” vibe post-Doris’ exit, a move Denari called “two-faced” in his interview. “I saw the clips after I left,” he said. “People you break bread with turning around to plot? That’s not my vibe outside these walls.”
The fallout has X in a frenzy, with #DenariSpeaks trending as fans dissect the drama. “Kola and Joanna played dirty—Denari’s better off without them,” one user posted, alongside a meme of Denari’s now-iconic side-eye from the house. Others defend the duo, arguing, “It’s a game for N150 million! Kola and Joanna owe him nothing—Denari’s just salty he got played.” The tension echoes broader Season 10 chaos, from Mensan’s controversial immunity saves to Ivatar’s misconduct allegations, painting a house where trust is as scarce as a veto power.

Denari, however, is looking forward, not back. While he mourns the loss of his Doris connection—“That one hurt to my bones”—he’s channeling his energy into music, with dreams of a Wande Coal collab still burning bright. [10] On Kola and Joanna? He’s closing the door. “I’m good with real ones only. No bad blood, but no friendship either,” he shrugged, hinting at a reunion showdown that’s already got fans marking calendars. As for Kola and Joanna, still in the game among the 17 remaining housemates, neither has publicly responded, but Joanna’s cryptic X post—“Loyalty is a choice, not a rule #BBNaija”—is raising eyebrows.
With the BBNaija S10 finale looming, Denari’s exit interview underscores the season’s brutal truth: alliances are fleeting, and grudges follow you out the door. Catch the full spill on the BBNaija YouTube channel, and tune in Sunday to see if Kola and Joanna outlast the next eviction storm. For Denari, the house may be history, but his story—and shade—is just getting started.
