Evicted Big Brother Naija Season 10 contestant, Danboskid, has revealed that a change to his name inside the house may have made it difficult for viewers to connect with him.

Danboskid, whose birth name is Daniel Olatunji, was the first housemate to leave the competition after spending two weeks in Biggie’s house. The 25-year-old entrepreneur hails from Ekiti State.

During an interview on Arise TV’s 360 Chats, he explained that he initially submitted a name that matched his social media handles to ensure easy recognition. However, the show’s management insisted on altering it, as they did not want anyone entering the house with a pre-registered name.

According to him, this decision created a disconnect, making it harder for fans of the reality show to identify and follow him during his time in the house.

He said: “Entering the house, I gave a name that matched my social media handles, but the management did not want someone coming in with an already registered name. I changed that name to Danboskid, I was out of reach with my handler. This made it hard for my fans watching me to identify me.”
