OpenLife Nigeria reports that Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has publicly apologised to Big Brother Naija Season 10 winner Imisi Ayanwale following backlash over a question she asked during the reality star’s birthday celebration in Lagos.

During the party, Nkechi asked Imisi whether she would ever forgive and reconcile with her mother a personal question that many felt was inappropriate for the setting.

The moment quickly drew criticism on social media, with fans describing it as insensitive.
Responding to the backlash, Nkechi Blessing offered a heartfelt apology:

“I sincerely want to apologise to anybody who got offended by the question I asked Imisi some couple of hours ago at her party. I don’t want to trend for the wrong reason this year.”

She clarified that her intention was not to chase clout or create drama and asked for forgiveness from anyone who was offended.

IMISI’S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AND THE CONTROVERSIAL QUESTION (JANUARY 27, 2026)

Imisi celebrated her birthday on Tuesday, 27 January 2026, with a lavish party in Lagos attended by celebrities, former BBNaija housemates, and entertainment figures.

During the celebration, Nkechi Blessing asked her question about reconciling with her mother, which visibly caught Imisi and some guests off guard. The incident quickly went viral and sparked widespread discussion online.

IMISI EMERGES AS BBNAIJA SEASON 10 WINNER (OCTOBER 5, 2025)

Imisioluwa “Imisi” Ayanwale rose to national prominence after winning Big Brother Naija Season 10, the “10/10” edition, on 5 October 2025.

The 23‑year‑old fashion designer and television personality competed against other housemates over a 72‑day season and secured the grand prize worth ₦150 million, including cash and gifts.

Her victory made her one of the few female winners in the show’s history, drawing celebratory attention from fans, fellow contestants, and celebrities across Nigeria.

BACKGROUND: IMISI AND HER MOTHER’S PUBLIC DISPUTE

The question touched a sensitive subject due to an ongoing public dispute between Imisi and her mother that surfaced in late 2025.

The disagreements included claims and counterclaims about childhood neglect and financial support, which had been widely discussed in the media and online. This history helps explain why the question at her birthday party drew such strong reactions.

Nkechi Blessing’s apology highlights the importance of respecting personal boundaries, particularly in public events where private matters are involved. While her question may have been intended as casual, it underscores how quickly private family issues can become public controversies in the age of social media.

The episode serves as a reminder that discretion, empathy, and sensitivity are essential, even in celebratory settings, especially when dealing with subjects that carry personal and emotional weight
