Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate Koyin has revealed that his modeling profession made him lie about being 21.
He initially mentioned during the show’s premiere that he was 21 but later revealed to fellow contestant Gigi Jasmine that he’d be turning 25 on August 19.
Koyin admitted to cutting off three years from his real age, citing his modeling career as the reason.
“I am 25 years old and not 21 years old. I had to reduce my age because of modelling,” Koyin confessed.
Gigi Jasmine commended him for his emotional intelligence.
“You have some high level of emotional intelligence which I appreciate a lot,” Gigi commended.
This isn’t an isolated incident, as another housemate, Ivatar, also admitted to tweaking her age.
She initially claimed to be 40 but later revealed she’s actually 37, saying she was just joking about her age.
