Former Big Brother Naija housemate Nelson Enwerem, commonly known as Prince, has asked fans to ease off on reality TV stars, saying that they need time to develop their careers.
In an exclusive interview with Punch Newspaper correspondent, Prince revealed that most reality TV stars were unknown before appearing on the show, and that they became celebrities thereafter without knowing how to manage the entertainment industry.
He said, “There is definitely a lot of pressure and expectations from reality TV stars. Sometimes very unrealistic expectations. People tend to forget that the Big Brother Naija reality TV stars were literally nobody.
“A lot of them were not known. They had 300 followers on Instagram months before they went on the show. It’s like you just pick them out and make them big stars.
“People expect you to operate on the same pedestal with the likes of Genevieve, Ramsey Nouah, and all other amazing legends in the industry, who have been in the entertainment industry for several years and have had time to hone their skills and refine themselves.”

Prince said reality TV stars needed time to hone their skills after the programme and to determine their place in the entertainment industry.
He said, “Sometimes, the noise is so much because there are a lot of people you are hearing at the same time. I want to ask that people give BBNaija housemates, especially the new ones a break.
“Allow them to grow; allow them to make their mistakes; allow them to refine themselves and rebrand themselves and be able to choose what they want to do.”
Prince said he had an amazing time acting in the movie ‘Man of God,’ noting that the producers and directors were very supportive.
The reality TV star said he was open to more movie roles, adding that acting had always been something he loved to do.
