The BBNaija fans are startled with the escalating tweet, which has since been deleted from former winner Mercy Eke’s official Twitter page that is directly dragging the current housemate Onyeka.
The tweet stated, “Onyeka the Mbadiwe’s Gold digger, there’s no gold in the Mbadiwe twins,” and it has caused an uproar among her fans and that of Onyeka’s in less than a minute. Many accused her of coming at their favourite in the most brutal way on social media and stirring unnecessary drama.

But Mercy Eke did not take too long to explain the situation. She later cleared that the tweet was her social media handler’s mistake, who had been on her account to celebrate her birthday.
Mercy was disappointed as she wrote:
“Can’t believe I’m waking up to this on my birthday. A handler that was supposed to post my birthday contents and reply to birthday wishes was involving herself in BBN drama, and now I have to deal with this mess? I have left everything BBN behind for Christ’s sake! Seeing such a silly opinion, especially about one of the housemates I like, is upsetting. I apologize to Team Onyeka; this is so embarrassing coming from my account. It does not represent me or how I feel.”
Apparently, an apology from Mercy cooled down some of the uproar. However, the incident has left many disappointed in Onyeka’s supporters. Some are still in wonder how such a statement could have been tweeted from her official account, notwithstanding Mercy trying to make amends over the incident.
