The Big Brother Naija Season 10 house has always been a pressure cooker of flirtations, feuds, and forced proximity, but evicted housemate Tracy Ekwe just turned up the heat with a candid takedown of fellow contestant Kuture. On September 17, 2025, during a post-eviction chat on Classic FM Lagos, the 28-year-old entrepreneur from Edo State laid it bare: “Kuture is a parrot and not my type.” The quip, delivered with her trademark bluntness, has sent #BBNaijaS10 timelines into overdrive, blending laughs, backlash, and a timely reminder on consent amid their rocky in-house dynamic.
Tracy’s words came as she unpacked rejecting Kuture’s overtures for something more than friendship, emphasizing a fundamental mismatch. “I think we have two different personalities,” she explained, admiring his vibrant energy but calling his nonstop chatter a dealbreaker. “There were some things about him that I wasn’t okay with… I came to find out that people like Kuture because he’s a parrot.” Far from malice, Tracy framed it as self-awareness: She didn’t want to dim his shine just to fit her vibe, especially in a game where authenticity wins votes. “So, imagine if I had changed him and he became a quiet person, he would have gone home by now. Our personalities are just not compatible. Besides that, he’s not my type.” The interview clip, shared widely by outlets like The Whistler and Creebhills, has racked up over 40,000 views, with fans dubbing it “Tracy’s mic drop moment.”
Their history adds layers of spice—and scrutiny. Back in Week 4 (around August 11), Tracy snagged Head of House and picked Kuture as her lounge buddy, a move fans read as flirty alliance-building. But the honeymoon was short: By August 14, cameras caught a sleepy Tracy brushing off his hand in bed, a subtle signal of boundaries. Things escalated in Week 5 when, during a late-night chat with Zita, Tracy alleged Kuture crossed lines by moving close, urging her nearer, and attempting an unwanted touch—pleading she stay quiet to avoid waking others. “He puts his hand on my bed and moved closer… I told him to stop because I wasn’t comfortable,” she recounted, stressing she shut it down firmly. The revelation trended then, sparking #ProtectTracy calls and debates on house accountability, though Kuture downplayed it as a misunderstanding in diary sessions.
Fast-forward to her September 14 double eviction alongside Denari (they barely outlasted Bright Morgan’s nail-biter 2.78% vote), and Tracy’s “parrot” shade feels like closure. Kuture, the 26-year-old Lagos marketer known for his comic relief and endless gist sessions, remains in the house, still a fan favorite at 18% in unofficial polls—trailing Imisi’s lead but buoyed by his “entertainer” aura. Stans are split: Kuture’s crew memes it as “Parrot power! Squawk to the finale,” while Tracy’s allies cheer her honesty, tweeting, “Queens set boundaries—Tracy said no cap, no compatibility.” Critics, though, accuse her of playing the “mean girl” card post-eviction, especially after her earlier prediction that Imisi or Faith would win, which clashed with Denari’s Isabella-Thelma bet.
Tracy’s exit interview also touched on the house’s mental toll—“it was exhausting”—and her “sismance” with Zita, a bright spot amid the chaos. Now pivoting to her skincare brand and podcast dreams, she’s owning the narrative: Friendship yes, romance no. As BBNaija’s “Wild Wild North” barrels toward the October 6 finale with 10 housemates left, her words linger like smoke from a bush fire. In a season of ships sinking and beefs brewing, Tracy’s reminder hits hard: Not every vibe matches, and calling it like you see it? That’s the real game-changer. Will Kuture clap back, or let the parrot fly solo? Naija, stay tuned—the drama’s just molting. #BBNaijaS10
