Reality TV star Mercy Eke apologized for a tweet posted from her verified X (formerly Twitter) account, labeling current housemate Onyeka a “gold digger.”

The now-deleted tweet, allegedly made without Eke’s consent by her social media handler, accused Onyeka of pursuing Ozee Mbadiwe for his wealth.

Eke clarified:

“On my birthday, I woke up to this mess. My handler posted without consent, involving me in BBN drama. I’ve moved on from BBN.”

She apologized to Onyeka’s fans:

“I apologize to Team Onyeka for the embarrassment. The tweet doesn’t represent me. This is highly unprofessional.”

Mercy Eke’s apology aimed to distance herself from the controversy and reaffirm her positive stance towards Onyeka.
