August 11, (THEWILL) – Big Brother Naija, BBNaija housemate, Michael, says that he was cautioned against using “Ebuka” as his stage name.
In a similar vein, Kayvee stated that he wanted to use the name “Koko” but he changed the name because there are many ‘Koko’ in the entertainment industry.
The Enugu-born housemate stated that he changed his name from “Ebuka” to Michael at the 11th hour before he was introduced.
Speaking to Kayvee, Michael stated that the show host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, has made a brand from the name “Ebuka,” so he had to change it to Michael.
He said: “I was advised not to use Ebuka as my stage name. I felt using it would have been a conflict of interest.
“When you hear BBNaija, you remember Ebuka. He has made a brand from the name, so I had to change my name to Michael at the last minute.”
