Following his withdrawal on Monday, ex-housemate, Kayvee has released a statement through his official Instagram page, @mrkayvee, appreciating everyone that has supported him thus far.

Kayvee in the statement, on Wednesday, said he underestimated the effect that isolation would have on his mental health, noting that this was why he found it difficult integrating with the other housemates.

“I, Ololade Gbolahan Olajide ‘Kayvee’ would like to thank everyone for their love and support for the week I spent in the Big Brother House. I am overwhelmed by the love I have received from people within and outside Nigeria.

” I must also thank my family and friends for their unwavering support while in the holding house for four (4) weeks.

” Being in the Big Brother house has been an experience of a lifetime and has afforded me access to networks and the best supporters a photographer could ever have.

“I underestimated the effect isolation would have on my mental health and integrating with the other housemates.

“I honestly wanted to stay till the 72nd day, and I believe that I have the personality, the empathy, and the game spirit to have made it to the end.

“But, certain events that happened in quick succession escalated the anxiety felt and impacted my being the jovial, energetic, and fun person I am,” he said.

He also noted that since his withdrawal from the house, he has reconnected with family.

However, he said that he looks forward to publicly connecting with his fans ‘KayveeFC’
