Media personality and former Big Brother Naija housemate, CeeC, has opened up about her life after leaving the reality show, sharing insights into her growth, challenges, and evolving identity in the spotlight.
Speaking on the Echo Room podcast, CeeC revealed that her original plan was simply to experience the show and return to her law career.
“For me, I just wanted to go into the house, experience it, and take whatever lessons I could. I was even willing to go back to practicing law,” she stated.
She recounted the overwhelming transition into fame, describing how life changed instantly after the show.
“When we came out, it was like, ‘What now? Celebrity.’ I was meeting people I used to watch on TV, it was so different. I’m grateful I had the right people around me to help manage the fame and everything that came with it.”
CeeC also spoke on the difficulty of being viewed primarily as a BBNaija star, noting that she may always be associated with the platform. However, she expressed no resentment, acknowledging the opportunities the show brought her and affirming her commitment to moving forward professionally.
“I don’t know if there will ever be a time when I can be seen as more than a BBNaija star,” she said, “but that’s not necessarily a bad thing because the platform gave us so much.”
CeeC says she remains focused on growth, impact and building beyond her reality TV roots.
