Ikechukwu Sunday Okonkwo aka Cross, the Big Brother Naija reality star,  has opened up as to why he wanted to take a voluntary exit from the House

Cross asserted that the reality show was “dark and toxic”.

He stated this in a recent interview with media personality and ex-BBTitans housemate, Miracle OP.

Cross said: “A lot of things happened over the time I was in Big Brother House. I was a bit sad for about two or three weeks.

“There was a period of time that I actually wanted to go to Big Brother and tell him that I’m done. I really wanted to leave the House.

“The House was so dark; fighting, arguments, toxicity. It was just a different energy that I could not see myself happy. I could not see myself really doing much. There were a lot of strong energies and they were dimming me. I couldn’t be myself…The House got to me certain times compared to my first season.”

He said the presence of a houseguest, KimOprah on the show helped stabilise him.
