Barbz: Prezzo and I? No!

During an exclusive interview with evicted South African BBA representative Barbz, the model told Pulse how ‘loving’ CMB Prezzo was never to happen.

With 48-days gone in the Big Brother Africa StarGame reality TV show, South Africa’s celebrity model Barbz became casualty number 21 to exit the house in one of the most dramatic evictions witnessed in the continental show so far.

It had been a tumultuous and exciting week during which Nigeria’s Goldie — who has been hanging on a fling with Kenyan rapper CMB Prezzo — had swiped the 4 Show 4 Shizzo rapper with Ghana’s Keitta.

Torn between love and loyalty, Goldie, easily the crybaby of the house, felt that she had betrayed Barbz, her best friend — by leaving her on the chopping board when she needed her the most. 

 “I was caught up in the moment and confused — I had to replace Prezzo with Keitta. I’m so sorry Barbz,” she said as she sank to her knees in front of the South African on Sunday.

Fast forward to Tuesday and speaking to Pulse on phone, a rather jovial sounding Barbz revealed how her heart had been locked against Kenya’s Prezzo since the first day when they had an altercation.

“There was nothing going for me and him. From what I had known about him, nothing would have changed between me and him even if I stayed on,” Barbz told Pulse, seemingly unapologetic for having been the only housemate to nominate Prezzo three times during the over one month stay.

AFRICA VERSUS THE SOUTH

“I have no regrets whatsoever. I enjoyed the beautiful journey. I now have to focus on going back to work and running my new business,” she remarked.

Barbz, a 34-year-old rather laid-back and composed lady was rather perky when asked if she had found love in the Big Brother house.

“I have a thing for people from Ghana,” Barbz said.

She was referring to Keitta, for whom she had developed some liking.

The model admitted that she had no chance of survival against Keitta dismissing the wide public view that she had been axed simply because most African countries don’t side with South Africa when it comes to the voting blocks.

“I can’t put my figures to it. Whatever Africa thinks is its own view. Keitta had an upper hand and there is nothing I could do about it. “It is simple; I remained true to self, had fun and enjoyed myself. I am happy that I guarded my morals and represented South Africa well,” she quipped.

KEAGAN TO WIN

Confessing that she is an introvert who rarely lets people prowl into her secret life, Barbz said she never took any differences personally, adding that even though she felt that Goldie had betrayed her, all that was now behind her.

“I think Lady May (Namibia) is quite funny and she is one housemate I would look forward to working with in future. Besides, I strongly feel that Keagan, my countryman, will come home with the money,” she concluded.

Out of the remaining 14 contestants, among whom three are expected to leave on Sunday, Kenya is the only country with three contestants so far. Unless the game changes, the two Downville Kenyan representative (Malonza and Alex) and the two Ugandans will be the only ones left in the lower house.
