Mercy Eke has reacted after she was called out for a statement she made that appeared to degrade those who watch Big Brother Naija.

The winner of the Pepper Dem season of the reality show said in a video that she is too busy to watch Big Brother Naija. She added that she has things to do, not like those who stay home all day watching the show.

This angered people and they called her out and asked if she means that those who supported her when she was in the house were jobless

Mercy has now explained her statement.

She said she was referring to those who were giving her grief for not choosing one of the current housemates to support.

She wrote: “I was talking to those who were tarnishing my image on Twitter because I decided to stay neutral.  I love all housemate equally, and everyone knows I’m a thankful person. Your narrative will never change my personality.”

She added: “For those who already knew that the clip was edited short without any shalaye thank you for knowing me.”
