Former Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate, Ifeyinwa Okafor, popularly known as Ivatar, has revealed that fans often misunderstood her personality due to her appearance.
In a chat with Sunday Scoop, Ivatar said viewers expected more drama from her because of her tattoos and look.
“People have said that they expected more drama from me because of how I look, but I am naturally a very calm person… I’m classy and intentional. Of course, I have a fun, crazy side, but only those I’m comfortable with will ever see that. I’m also a mother to an 18-year-old, so I can’t be reckless just to entertain anyone,” she explained.
She also dismissed rumours of a romantic link with fellow housemate Kaybobo, clarifying that a viral photo of them kissing was digitally altered.
“It never happened. Kaybobo and I are just friends. We connect because we share similar interests, but there is nothing romantic between us,” she said.
On her strained relationship with former ally Mensan, Ivatar admitted she may have handled their bond differently.
“Maybe I shouldn’t have pulled him into my corner because I felt he was lonely, like I was. We shared some fun moments, but I believe in setting boundaries, and I’ll always stick to that,” she added.
Ivatar stressed that while stereotypes may shape public perception, her true personality reflects calmness, class, and intentionality.
