Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Patrick Fakoya, also known as Rico Swavey, is in a critical condition after a near-death car crash.
His colleague, Alex Unusual, announced this on her verified Twitter page.
She wrote, “Good morning sweethearts. Please put @iamricoswavey in your prayers today. He was involved in a ghastly accident hours ago and the doctors are still trying to resuscitate him as I just left the hospital. It’s really critical. I’m staying positive. #PrayForRicoSwavey.
Evicted Big Brother Naija 2018 housemate, Rico Swavey has revealed that he once hawked in Jos. The multi-talented entertainer said he had to do that in order to support his mum who raised him single-handedly.
Speaking after he was evicted from the ongoing reality show, Rico told Delphinator TV about his struggles on his voyage to stardom.
According to Rico:” I once hawked on the street of Jos, music started everything for me. My mum raised me singlehandedly and had to do a lot for me. I couldn’t just sit there at home and watch her do everything; I had to hit the streets”.
On why he wasn’t romantically involved with any housemate, Rico disclosed that he found himself in a neutral space.
“Somehow along the process, I found myself in a neutral space. There was a point Big Brother asked the girls to select the guys. I didn’t cling to Bambam because of her relationship with Teddy A.I already told Teddy A and the other housemates how I met Bambam, so the intention wasn’t to get our friendship to that intimate stage. My focus is on my career, not on pursuing any BBNaija housemate.”.
