Former Big Brother Naija housemate Kess has opened up about the challenges contestants may face after leaving the reality television show, saying life can become significantly more complicated once the cameras stop rolling.
Kess made the observation while reacting to recent comments by fellow former housemate Danboskid, who publicly discussed some of the personal difficulties he has experienced since leaving the show.
According to Kess, the challenges associated with life after BBNaija are not necessarily determined by whether a contestant wins the competition or exits without the grand prize. 
He explained that the experience of being on the reality show can change a contestant’s life in ways that may bring additional pressure and expectations after returning to the outside world.
Kess said the transition from the highly publicised environment of the BBNaija house to normal life can be difficult, particularly as former housemates have to deal with increased public attention and expectations.
His comments came after Danboskid, whose real name is Daniel Olatunji, spoke about his current circumstances and acknowledged that things had not gone as smoothly as he would have wanted.
Danboskid reportedly said he was tired of trying to maintain an image created for him by others and wanted to be more open about his actual situation as he works towards rebuilding his life.
The former housemate also made it clear that he was not seeking pity or financial assistance, but would welcome genuine advice and support.
Reacting to the development, Kess suggested that Danboskid’s experience was an example of the difficulties some reality stars can encounter after leaving the programme.
He maintained that participation in BBNaija can bring opportunities and visibility, but can also introduce pressures that contestants may not have experienced before appearing on the show.
Kess’s remarks have drawn attention to the often-overlooked realities of life after reality television, as former housemates attempt to turn their newfound popularity into sustainable careers and personal stability.
