According to the actress, she was tired of going for movie auditions without getting on the cast, so she decided to take advantage of the publicity of the Big Brother platform to boost her career.
BamBam disclosed this in an interview saying: “I have always wanted to be in filmmaking, so I made the decision to audition for Big Brother [Naija] so I would be seen. Because after I graduated from film school, the hustle was real. I remember myself and my colleagues going to auditions, and it was just a waste of time, strength, and money.
“Sometimes, we do waka pass [minor roles], they [producers] go give you N5k. And I left Abuja [to Lagos to pursue my movie career]. I was actually comfortable in Abuja, where I was. I had a 9-to-5 job. I had a car, a dog, and a cat.”
She said that after she came out of the Big Brother show, her career skyrocketed.
BamBam got married to her love interest in the Big Brother House, Teddy A, in 2019. The couple welcomed their first child, Zendaya, in 2020, and their second child, Maya, in March 2022.
