Boma and Tega are the hottest Big Brother Naija scandal… until the new housemates create their own in the “Level Up” season. Both Boma and Tega were housemates of last year’s “Shine Ya Eye” season 6.

Both were also caught in another sexual act beneath the sheets. This generated a lot of backlashes from viewers who viewed Tega as a cheating wife and Boma, as a wife snatcher.

After the show, both revealed there was no sex involved and their relationship in the house was just a game. Tega’s husband also revealed that he had cheated on his wife prior to the show and that her affair with Boma was just an act. Later, he revealed that he was hurt by her actions but willing to reconcile with her. Tega publicly apologised to her husband. But her apology didn’t tone down the criticisms and she was forced to deactivate her social media accounts for a while. She later revealed her marriage had been over since 2020.
