BBNaija disqualified housemates: See the full list of eight contestants removed from the reality show between 2017 and 2026
Big Brother Naija, BBNaija, has recorded eight housemate disqualifications between 2017 and 2026, with contestants removed from the reality show for offences ranging from repeated rule violations and inappropriate conduct to physical confrontations.
Disqualification remains one of the most severe penalties available to Big Brother, with contestants warned throughout each season that serious breaches of the house rules can abruptly end their time in the competition.
Kemen was the first name on the list during the 2017 See Gobe season. He was disqualified following inappropriate conduct involving fellow housemate TBoss while she was asleep, in an incident that generated significant controversy during the season.
In 2018, Double Wahala produced two disqualifications.
Khloe was removed after accumulating three strikes for repeated violations of Big Brother’s rules. Her confrontational behaviour and continued breaches ultimately brought her participation to an end.
K-Brule was also disqualified during the same season after accumulating three strikes for rule violations and inappropriate behaviour.
The following year, Tacha was disqualified from the 2019 Pepper Dem season after a physical confrontation with fellow housemate Mercy Eke.
The altercation involved pushing and hair-pulling and resulted in Big Brother ending Tacha’s participation in the competition.
Erica became the next disqualified contestant during the 2020 Lockdown season.
Her removal followed a heated night involving abusive language and other conduct that breached the house rules. The decision brought an abrupt end to a highly publicised run on the show.
Beauty Tukura was disqualified in 2022 during the Level Up season.
She became the first contestant removed from that edition after repeated rule violations following an argument with fellow housemate Groovy escalated.
The list remained unchanged for several years before Faith was disqualified during the 2025 10th season.
Faith’s removal followed a physical altercation with fellow housemate Sultana during a task rehearsal, prompting Big Brother to take disciplinary action.
Nomy became the latest addition to the BBNaija disqualified housemates list in 2026, after repeated defiance of Big Brother’s instructions led to his removal from the competition.
Across the seasons, the circumstances have differed, but the consequences have remained significant.
Disqualification means losing the opportunity to continue competing for the season’s grand prize and can dramatically alter a contestant’s trajectory on the show.
For BBNaija, the disciplinary measures also reinforce the programme’s emphasis on house rules and acceptable conduct, particularly as contestants live together under constant observation.
The eight cases, spanning nine years, illustrate how quickly a housemate’s journey can change when conduct crosses the boundaries set by Big Brother.
