Evicted Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) Season 10 housemate, Ifeyinwa Okafor, better known as Ivatar, has said fans of the reality show expected her to be controversial while in the house because of her outward appearance.
She made the assertion recently during an interview with Sunday Scoop.
According to Ivatar, many viewers of the show anticipated more drama from her simply because of her tattoos and overall look.
She, however, added that despite her looks, she is “naturally a very calm person.”
Speaking during the chat, Ivatar said, “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.

She went on to address speculations about a supposed romantic relationship with fellow housemate, Kaybobo.
She dismissed the claims as false, noting that a viral photo suggesting they kissed was digitally altered.
“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.
Ivatar also reflected on her strained relationship with her former close ally, Mensan, before her eviction.
She admitted that while they bonded over shared experiences, she may have handled 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 further said.
