Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate, Thelma Lawson, has opened up about the financial and emotional pressures of life after the reality show, describing her newfound fame as both rewarding and demanding.

Celebrated as the show’s “most fashionable” housemate, Thelma shared the challenge of maintaining her stylish image to meet the expectations of a growing and eager fanbase.

In a recent interview, she revealed that her fanbase, which expanded significantly after the show, now closely follows her fashion choices, a responsibility that comes with costly wardrobe updates and constant event appearances.

She said:

“This new life is expensive. Because you are showing up for events. I came out of the house and found out that I was named ‘the most fashionable.’ Now I have an audience that wants to see what Thelma is wearing.”

The mother of one admitted feeling overwhelmed by her amplified platform, highlighting the difficulty of balancing visibility with personal limits.

Big Brother Naija Season 10, themed “10/10,” wrapped up earlier this month, putting its housemates into the spotlight and leaving Lawson to navigate the challenges of fame, fashion, and entrepreneurship.
