Mercy Eke, the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 4 and runner-up of the 2023 All-Stars edition, has set social media ablaze after declaring she would only attend a reunion for the All-Stars season if organisers pay her a staggering ₦100 million appearance fee.
The reality star made the statement on X while reacting to a post by fellow ex-housemate, Tolani Baj, who claimed that an All-Stars reunion would have been the “messiest yet best” in the show’s history. Mercy agreed but raised eyebrows with her audacious demand. “I’m so ready, just 100M. Our reunion is going to be on an international level. No side talks, no pity games, no fake tears. Just boss babes and wealthy gents having real grown-up conversations,” she wrote.
Her statement has since gone viral, dividing fans across Nigeria and the diaspora. Some hailed her confidence, insisting she has earned her place as one of the show’s most bankable alumni. Others accused her of arrogance, noting that no former contestant has ever demanded such a fee to appear at a reunion. “Mercy is giving billionaire vibes, but ₦100m for just two episodes? That’s crazy,” one fan posted.
The controversy comes amid ongoing speculation about why the All-Stars edition — which aired from July to October 2023 — never had a reunion show. Unlike the “No Loose Guard” season that followed in 2024, the much-anticipated All-Stars reunion never materialised, leaving fans curious about unresolved tensions among housemates like Mercy, Cee-C, Pere, and Ilebaye, who won that season.
Industry insiders say the cost of pulling together the All-Stars cast may have been a stumbling block, especially given the personalities involved. Analysts also point out that the show’s producers are currently focused on the 10th anniversary edition, themed “10/10”, which launched in July 2025 and has already broken streaming records across Africa.
Still, Mercy’s bold price tag has amplified calls from fans demanding closure for the All-Stars season. Many argue that a reunion would generate record-breaking ratings, potentially making her ₦100m fee a worthwhile investment. “If any reunion can break the internet, it’s this one,” noted entertainment blogger Stella Dimoko.
For now, the organisers of Big Brother Naija remain silent on whether an All-Stars reunion is even on the table. But Mercy’s statement has ensured one thing: if it ever happens, the spotlight will shine brightest on her.
