Nollywood Star Tonto Dikeh for Big Brother?
While
MultiChoice Zimbabwe is still to announce Zimbabwean housemate to represent the
country in the next series of the reality show dubbed "Big Brother Africa
Superstar", rumours abound that Nigerian singer and actress Tonto Dikeh
will represent her country in the continental showcase.
The
Nollywood actress has been receiving congratulatory messages and
"blessings" from fellow celebrities in her country. A product of
"Next Movie Star", Tonto is known for her penchant for controversy
since she hit the limelight few years ago. Last year, she sparked criticism
with her "weird" tattoo and then claimed not to be Nigerian. Tonto
continued with her "wild lifestyle" and at one point she crossed
swords with Ghananian actress Yvonne Nelson after she allegedly
"wooed" her boyfriend Iyanya.
Now in its
eighth season, the Africa's biggest reality show recently achieved a milestone
of having more than 1 million likes on social platform, Facebook.
Zimbabwe was
last year represented by musician Roki and Maneta Mazanhi, who were both booted
out prematurely after a physical confrontation. Nigeria at the other end was
represented by the now late Goldie Susan Harvey. It remains to be seen who will
represent Zimbabwe, with personalities such as Makosi Musambasi, Pokello Nare,
Dalma Chiwerera and Lady Squanda having auditioned for the annual reality show.
Makosi is
appearing on the list of several other popular faces who auditioned to take
part in the upcoming season eight of "Big Brother Africa".
Makosi has
been listed on the Big Brother Africa Facebook page together with Uganda's
Desire Luzinda and Jackie (Obessions), South Africa's controversial socialite
Kanyi Mbau,
Ghana's Vera
Sidika and musician Sarkodie, Nigeria's music sensation Iyanya of
"Kukere" fame and Dammy Krane, Kenya's Shaffie Weru and Oj Oballa.
According to the page, producers of the show are yet to decide on bringing back
celebrity housemates. Big Brother Africa Season 8 is scheduled to start on May
26, 2013.
