Former Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate Ifeyinwa Okafor, popularly known as Ivatar, has shared insights into her time in the reality show, revealing how fans often misread her personality based on her appearance.
In a conversation with Sunday Scoop, Ivatar explained that viewers expected her to be more dramatic because of her tattoos and overall look.
“People have said that they expected more drama from me because of how I look, but I am naturally a very calm person. From the start, I made it clear that the stereotype people have about tattooed individuals doesn’t define me.

“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 said.
Ivatar also addressed rumors of a romantic involvement with fellow housemate Kaybobo, dismissing them as false. She revealed that a viral image suggesting they kissed was digitally manipulated.
“I was shocked when I saw that picture. It never happened. Kaybobo and I are just friends. We connect because we share similar interests, but there is nothing romantic between us,” she clarified.
The ex-housemate reflected on her strained relationship with her former close ally Mensan. While they shared a bond over common experiences, Ivatar admitted she might have approached their friendship 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 said.
