Lagos, Nigeria – October 22, 2025 – In a heartwarming display of unwavering loyalty, fans of Big Brother Naija Season 10 evictee Kaybobo have redefined fan appreciation by gifting the former housemate a fully furnished four-bedroom duplex in the upscale Lekki area, ₦4 million in cash, and the cutting-edge iPhone 17 Pro Max—totaling gifts worth over ₦20 million. The surprise presentation, which unfolded during a star-studded welcome-back event in Lagos on Tuesday night, left the 28-year-old reality star visibly emotional, marking one of the most extravagant post-eviction gestures in BBNaija history.
Kaybobo, whose real name is Adesokan Adedeji Emmanuel—affectionately dubbed “Kaybobo” for his bubbly personality and culinary flair—shot to fame during the show’s three-month run as a commercial model, entrepreneur, and former collegiate athlete from Ekiti State. Educated at the University of Connecticut and the University of Memphis, where he played American football, Kaybobo entered the house vowing to “inspire, entertain, and connect” with viewers. His bold moves, including controversially spending ₦10 million from the prize pool for finale immunity via the “Red Phone Twist,” sparked debates but solidified his fanbase, known as the “Kayotics.”
Evicted on October 5 during the season’s emotional finale—alongside housemates Isabella, Mensan, and Jason Jae—Kaybobo emerged to a hero’s welcome. But nothing prepared him for the Kayotics’ grand reveal at the event, attended by fellow ex-housemates and celebrities. The duplex, secured with a full year’s rent of ₦11 million and furnished to the tune of ₦12 million, comes complete with modern appliances, smart home features, and ocean-view balconies overlooking Lekki’s vibrant skyline. “This isn’t just a house; it’s a home where Kaybobo can build his future,” said lead organizer Temi Adebayo, a Toronto-based Kayotic who coordinated the international effort.
Adding to the bounty was the ₦4 million cash transfer, handed over in a symbolic envelope, alongside the iPhone 17 Pro Max—specially shipped from Canada and unveiled with fanfare as the “device to match his star power.” Other perks included a luxury spa package, designer outfits from local brands, premium perfumes, and custom jewelry, all curated to support Kaybobo’s post-show gigs and entrepreneurial ventures.
Tears streaming down his face as he toured the property, Kaybobo took to Instagram Live to express his gratitude. “Eviction felt like the end, but you all turned it into the ultimate win. From Ekiti boy to this? Kayotics, you’re my family. I didn’t drive a car once in the house, but now I have a whole castle. I promise to keep inspiring you—more skits, more hustle, more love,” he said, his voice breaking. The Ekiti native, who once joked about returning “money bouquets and chocolate balloons” from fans, now embraces the outpouring as fuel for his next chapter, hinting at upcoming music collaborations and a cooking show.
Social media erupted with #KayboboGifts and #KayoticsMountPressure trending worldwide, amassing over 5 million impressions in hours. “Kaybobo won with his fans 🔥👏,” tweeted influencer J.I, echoing sentiments from peers like Instablog9ja, which shared photos of the handover captioned, “BBN’s Kaybobo’s fans gift him a Lekki duplex… and other gifts worth ₦20 million.” Netizens praised the gesture’s thoughtfulness amid Nigeria’s economic strains, with one user noting, “In this hard economy? True ride-or-die fans.” Comparisons to past BBNaija windfalls—like Adekunle’s ₦4 million birthday haul in 2022 or Sultana’s recent ₦4 million and iPhone from TikTok lives—underscore the franchise’s cult-like following, where viewers invest not just votes but life-changing support.
Organizers revealed the campaign raised funds through global crowdfunding, diaspora donations, and corporate tie-ins, emphasizing community over spectacle. “We saw how the house dragged him with narratives, but his authenticity won us. This is organic love,” shared fan Grace Kuti on X. As BBNaija S10 wraps with its ₦80 million grand prize still up for grabs among the top finalists, Kaybobo’s story reminds why the show reigns as Africa’s top reality export: it births not just stars, but unbreakable bonds.
Kaybobo, already fielding endorsement offers, teased a thank-you tour starting next week. For fans, it’s simple: their “Omo fans mount” paid off in duplex-sized dividends. What’s next for the chef-turned-icon? Only time—and perhaps a viral cooking sesh from his new kitchen—will tell.
