'BBNaija's Mercy saw being the only female winner as a burden

She has embodied the phrase 'no hard feelings here' on this topic.

Big Brother Naija season 4 winner, Mercy 'Lamborghini' Eke has shared her thoughts on being dethroned by Phyna.

Appearing on the With Chude podcast, she revealed that she has been waiting for someone to take her spot as the only female winner of the show.

When she finally got dethroned by Ijeoma Otabor, popularly known as 'Phyna' in 2022, she said she was relieved, describing the position as a 'burden'.

In her words, "Honestly speaking, between man and God, I have been waiting for someone to take on that role, I wanted to like rest. I feel like I have so much burden, so much is expected from me."

Going on, Mercy went into detail about how much privacy she had been craving since winning the show in 2019, and how her popularity stunted that. According to her, she desperately needed another female to win in order for the load to be taken off her.

The reality star said, "I've been waiting for someone, let the pressure move, I want to rest, I want to live like every other girl. I want to be able to walk on the road with a man without people being like, 'Oh Mercy.'I wanted someone to come, and let the blogs focus on this person, I've tried. Honestly speaking, I've been waiting because I know I will rest. I want to go out, be crazy, I'm still young. I'm happy a girl came."
