In a recent interview with echo room, CeeC said her initial goal was simply to experience the Big Brother house rather than chase fame or return to her law career.
“For me, I just wanted to go into the house, experience it, and take whatever lessons I could. I wasn’t even willing to go back to practicing law,” she explained.
Stepping out of the house introduced her to celebrity life.
“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,” she added.
CeeC also discussed the challenge of being primarily identified as a former Big Brother contestant.
“I don’t know if there will ever be a time when I can be seen as more than a BBNaija star. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing because the platform gave us so much,” she said.
She highlighted how audiences often define celebrities by their Big Brother experience. “Right now, if you look at Instagram blogs, the first thing they’ll say about someone like Teddy is ‘Big Brother,’ even though this is what he does now. The same goes for me, it's CCB brother, but this is my life today. We just keep moving forward,”
People grow, evolve, and transform.
