Being a single parent, she gave birth to him inside a car, a testament to her resilience and determination.
During a Sunday night argument among the Big Brother Naija Lockdown housemates, Neo bet N50K to Vee and Laycon regarding a song by Mayorkun that was played during the last Saturday night party by DJ Consequence.
The dubplate version of Mayorkun’s song “Of Lagos” included the names of all the housemates.
Neo firmly believed that it wasn’t Mayorkun who remixed the song to include their names, while Laycon and Vee argued that it could be a possibility. In order to settle the dispute, they made a N50K bet, agreeing to find out the truth once they left the house.
However, the matter was swiftly clarified on Sunday night when Mayorkun himself tweeted, confirming that he collaborated with DJ Consequence to create the special “Of Lagos” that featured the housemates’ names.
