In a rare moment of compassion, Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) Season 10 took a touching turn on Thursday as Biggie offered words of encouragement to housemate Mensan, who broke down in tears during his diary session.
“Wipe your tears because diamonds are unbreakable,” Biggie told Mensan, delivering a powerful message that quickly resonated with fans across social media.
Mensan, who had just shared a deeply emotional confession about his struggles, found solace in Biggie’s words. Earlier in the session, he had opened up about the immense pressure he feels to support his family and the void left by the absence of a father figure in his life.
“I am not just here for myself,” Mensan said, his voice trembling. “I just want to get to a point where I can carry my family the way they want me to.”
His honest and heartfelt revelation struck a chord with viewers, who praised his vulnerability and courage. For many fans, Mensan’s story reflects the emotional burdens carried by countless young Nigerians trying to navigate life, responsibility, and self-worth.
The housemate also expressed discomfort over some of the social dynamics in the house, admitting he sometimes struggles to connect with the other male contestants, particularly when communicating in English. Describing the interactions as “just vibes,” he hinted at a sense of emotional distance in the house.
Following the episode, social media was flooded with messages of support for Mensan. Viewers applauded him for opening up about mental health, family expectations, and the quiet battles that often go unnoticed on reality television.
Many fans described him as one of the most relatable and authentic voices of the season, with some already calling him a “diamond in the rough” echoing Biggie’s now-viral words.
