Big Brother Naija 'Shine Ya Eye' housemate, Ikechukwu Sunday, known as Cross by fans, has sparked reactions and is currently the subject of discussion on social media.
The 30-year-old entrepreneur from Anambra is currently trending on Twitter, ranking 4th, with over 140,000 tweets after making the mistake of uploading a video of himself naked while taking his shower on Snapchat.
He even captioned the video "Shower time" while also displaying his tattoos and full manhood. Although he later deleted the video, many tweeps and netizens have described his actions as 'foolish'.
In an interview with TVC E Splash, he stated that: "It was a simple mistake. It wasn't a big deal. It was like a mistake. As I said earlier, I'm not really back with my phone. Once in a while, I keep using it. So, I didn't know that Snapchat had changed a lot of features. So it was a mistake. It was just a mistake of a thing so it just went out quickly. When I noticed it, I quickly deleted it. It was a simple mistake." (sic)
Here are mixed opinions and reactions we gathered from various social media platforms on the new development:
@world179: "Cross has crossed the line."@bubu_cesc: "Cross once said don't expect him to change himself now that he is well known. Guy said he used to do snap chats of almost everything he does, so why are we surprised now🤷🏾♀️"@dengematics: "How can it be a mistake. Everyone just acting daft. Which mistake. Trust million will start running around searching for it."@mpulumma: "I'm not even his sister but I'm so furious Cross wtf was that #bbnaija. "@wavy_mogul: "Cross talk say no be only Maria go trend nah. Him too gas dey high table."@niftyfrex: "I think leaked nudes and videos is the new flame in Nigeria."@gudgaalriri: "Cross has been on SnapChat for years and has 100k followers but he never posted his nude until after BBN and people are saying he was sending it to someone; it's either intentional or he was drunk. He could never be sending it to someone cos he is a SnapChat genius #BBNaija."@hawau_arewa: "Cross has crossed the line and he must carry his cross alone."@laadii0: "If you dragged Tiwa savage and you're defending Cross, thunder fire you, if you defended Tiwa and you're dragging Cross, thunder fire you too and if nothing concerns you like me, and you're just here for the drama, thunder fire you also. Thunder fire everybody." (sic).@kusssman: "Bro the housemates of the recently concluded BBNaija are doing more than enough to stay relevant. What was that video Cross posted."@Jaystifla: "Why is everything getting leaked and exposed on Snapchat?"@asiwajuLerry: "These new set of BBNaija celebrities are ready to do anything for Fame and relevance even if it compromises their morals. Cross really fall my hand chai."@moleculeboy: "It is you thinking he posted it for clout stop judging people based on what you think you would do or your moral compass. You never supported Cross before so pick your hand that fell."@mmamandy: "Cross those who truly love you will always stand by you come rain come shine. Just know that you're not a god that's above mistakes because you're human with all kinds of flaws. I will always love and cherish you no matter what."@president_hoodlum: "This week alone, Maria challenged another man's wife, Cross now has posted his pen*s on the internet What kind of Big Brother Naija set is this?"@tife_fabunmi: "Cross probably wanted to send the video to someone and mistakenly posted it, it can't be intentional."@Jaystifla: "Why is everything getting leaked and exposed on Snapchat?"@Iamnvestor: "When I said Cross has nothing to offer other than his weird Sexual vibes and Drunken Master Moves, they said I was hating. Well here we are now your Pervert keeps on Giving."@precious: "Cross is not perfect, he is flawed, that Snapchat video was a mistake. I won't drag or hate him because of a mistake. I will continue loving him no matter. Don't expect me to unstan him. Cross I hope you are not sulking or thinking about it."@alwaysmummy: "Get angry, feel disappointed that's fine. But for me I rather feel bad for him.. Cross already told us he's a human being who is flawed. We all make mistakes. Who in their right mind would do this intentionally? Like seriously who?"@melanin_goddess: "If it was a lady that went naked like Cross did we won't hear the end of it from fellow women. They'll give 1001 reasons why she's the cause of men sexualising women and possibly global warming. But see them laughing and fantasising over Cross. Woke generation!"
Clearly, many Nigerians don't believe him and are of the opinion that he did that just to gain publicity."
