Recall that in February, Bambam was caught having sex with Teddy A in the bathroom, the internet was agog with controversies surrounding the pair over sex. However, viewers got a clear answer as the pair were caught having sex in the toilet thinking they were away from the cameras. This came after Miracle had accused all housemates of having sex, noting that it was the reason for the missing condoms.
Nevertheless, Murtala Mohammed International Airport witnessed a huge crowd that gathered to welcome the evicted Big Brother Naija housemates, Teddy A, a rapper and his in-house lover Bambam an actress and singer who were evicted by the show host, Ebuka last weekend.
The crowd cheered in excitement upon seeing the white limousine that was rented to usher them into Lagos from the airport. Obviously over whelmed by the enthusiasm of the crowd, Teddy A and Bambam were nearly driven to tears as they hugged their teeming fans.
