BIG Brother Hotshots’ Nigerian housemate Tayo yesterday made a heartfelt apology to Africa for hurling insults at JJ and Alusa on Tuesday evening saying it was not his intention to hurt anyone.
Tayo had a verbal spat with JJ and Alusa over allegations that the former was taking verbal shots during a rap session in the house.

Tayo perhaps realised that his actions could get him kicked out of the house on Sunday as he is on the chopping block.

During the diary session with Biggie he asked for forgiveness from Africa and his home country in particular.

“My intention was not to intimidate any housemates. I am not a violent person, I might be loud but I am not violent. I am sorry to my family, nation and Africa as a whole,” he said while in tears.

Tayo said if fellow housemates were not happy with his behaviour that means the rest of Africa felt the same.

As usual as in all previous seasons the house is not quite the same after the nomination results come out as housemates do not trust each other.

Tayo had earlier in the day apologised to housemates for his behaviour that he said was totally unacceptable.

Thereafter it was all handshakes and smiles from other housemates with Tayo shedding tears when he apologised.

The confrontation arose when Tayo was getting a massage from Ellah. JJ and Alusa were also in the room. As JJ started rapping while looking at Tayo, the Nigerian felt like JJ was throwing punch lines at him, “hey you think you are cool, your think you are boss bla bla bla.”

Tayo then told Ellah that he felt JJ was referring to him and that he was going to talk to him.

Hearing this JJ questioned him saying: “Hey what’s up?”

To which Tayo menacingly replied, “Don’t what’s up me, do you want a rap battle with me? Alusa who was close jumped in and said yes . . . then took over the beef from Tayo.

It became more of an Alusa and Tayo fight. Alusa told Tayo that maybe they shout where he comes from but in his country they are gentle to which Tayo replied that “you are not gentle, you are just dumb.”

It only took the intervention of Mr 265 to stop the bulls from fighting as Lilian took away her countryman.

The room was still noisy with JJ and Alusa cursing Tayo for being a bully.

JJ added that Tayo was not the alpha male but “alpha b****!”

Biggie gave Tayo advice on how to stick to his game plan and keep his head up.

This was seen by fans on social networks as a ploy by Tayo to gain sympathy from Africa as his name is among those who are up for eviction.

His outburst left all in Africa astonished at how he made noise over a small issue.

On countless occasions fellow housemates have pointed out that they were sick and tired of the Nigerian who thinks himself as the alpha male.

Zimbabweans have an easy choice this week as they are voting for JJ to keep him in the game.
