When one of the evicted housemates of the ongoing Big Brother Naija reality show, Ifu Ennada, stated that she was raped by an entertainer, a lot of people felt Nigerian rapper, CDQ, was the culprit because of the drama that had earlier unfolded between them. While she was in the house, Ennada had revealed that she was used and dumped by CDQ despite her contributions to the growth of his career when he was a nobody.
In his reaction, CDQ had said they had nothing more serious than a one-night stand. He claimed that Ennada only wanted to use his name to gain popularity.
Refusing to reveal the name of her rapist, Ennada stated that it was not CDQ.
“I was the one who was raped and I didn’t talk about it until recently. When I am ready to reveal the rapist’s identity, I will do so. For now, it is no one’s business. I don’t know what gave people the impression that it was CDQ. I didn’t mention CDQ’s name. I don’t understand people,” she added.
On claims that she shared her rape story to gain sympathy or popularity, she said,
“Do I look like one who needs the sympathy of people? Only foolish people would think I put out my story for publicity. Right from the first day I came back to Nigeria, I said I wanted to release a short film, Broken Virgin. Then, Big Brother was yet to announce that two people would return to the reality show. I had already started doing graphics; posters for my short film. People who have been following me know the truth; people who don’t know me can say rubbish. Why should anyone use her rape story as a joke or play?”
