BBNaija Season 10/10 delivered its first viral moment Sunday night as housemate Dede flatly rejected a hug from fellow contestant Jason Jae moments after he entered the house. The incident occurred during the second launch night of the reality show and has already triggered thousands of reactions across social media platforms.
Jason, with open arms and a friendly smile, approached Dede and asked, “Can I give you a hug, please?” Without hesitation, Dede responded with a firm “No,” stunning both viewers and other housemates who watched the brief exchange in silence. Jason then offered a handshake, which she accepted with a subtle nod.
The moment, captured live and now circulating widely online, has sparked heated debate among fans about boundaries, consent, and first impressions. While some viewers applauded Dede for setting a clear personal boundary, others accused her of being cold and dramatic for a situation meant to be warm and welcoming.
Dede, whose real name is Precious Ashiogwu, had earlier revealed she is in a committed relationship outside the house and is not seeking romantic entanglements on the show. Her statement during the launch: “I have dreams to chase—and this is one of them,” appears to echo her decision to remain emotionally guarded.
Jason Jae, a smooth-talking newcomer with a musical background, seemed visibly surprised but handled the moment with grace. Still, fans of the show say the brief tension between the two could set the tone for a complicated dynamic in the weeks ahead—especially with cameras capturing every reaction.
BBNaija 10/10, themed “Perfect Chaos,” promised drama, emotion, and unpredictability—and Dede may have just delivered the first headline-grabbing moment of the season. Clips of the encounter have gone viral on TikTok, Threads, and X (formerly Twitter), racking up over 2 million views within hours.
As alliances form and egos clash, all eyes will be on how Dede and Jason navigate their interactions going forward. One thing is clear—this season’s drama is already in full gear, and fans are hooked.
