However, it was Ekemini Ekerete, aka Kemen, who made history as the first ever housemate to be disqualified from the BBNaija show.

Kemen was disqualified from the 2017 edition of BBNaija, after he touched a fellow housemate, T-Boss, inappropriately when she was asleep.

Although, Kemen has repeatedly denied the allegation levelled against him. However, the allegation undoubtedly left a dent on his career and public image.

TNG reports Kemen currently works as a fitness enthusiast and personal trainer.

On her part, Beauty Tukura, a former Miss Nigeria (2019), was disqualified from season 7 of the show tagged, Level Up.

She was disqualified after she fought with Groovy because he danced with Chomzy.  She and Groovy were an item in the house.

The week before, she had been aggressive towards Ilebaye, as she pulled her wig.

Beauty, however, apologised after she was disqualified, blaming everything on the influence of alcohol.

Meanwhile, Erica Nlewedim, who participated in the 2020 Lockdown edition, was disqualified after she received two strikes and a last warning from Big Brother.

Erica’s disqualification followed her attack on Laycon. She was also accused of preventing the then Deputy Head of House, Prince, from entering the Head of House’s lounge.

Also, she poured water on a bed in the lounge and made attempts to speak with the camera crew.

For Oluwabusayomi Abiri aka Khloe and Kelvin Brouillette aka K-Brule, they were disqualified from the show in the 2018 edition tagged, Double Wahala.

Khloe and K-Brule were disqualified after they received their third strikes for inappropriate behaviour.

K-Brule got his first warning after he jumped from the first floor of the BBNaija house. While some people believed he was drunk, others said it was because he wasn’t comfortable with fellow housemates, Anto and Lolu, kissing each other.

He was handed a second strike when he wanted to attack another housemate, Dee One, during an argument. However, he was held back by other housemates, Lolu and Angel.

On the other hand, Khloe described K-Brule’s mother as a whore during an argument, which caused both of them to get strikes.

Khloe was prevented from being physically harmed by K-Brule by other housemates after he had threatened to hit her. After receiving their third strikes, both of them were disqualified from the show.

TNG reports none of the disqualified housemates made their way into the BBNaija All Stars house.
