BBN Season 11: Mercedes gifts Martins steamy birthday surprise
By Folashade Olorunfemi –
Fellow Big Brother Naija housemates celebrated Martins Iyeh on his 30th birthday, with the model revealing that it was the first birthday celebration he had ever experienced.
The housemates gathered in the lounge with balloons, a cake and other decorations to celebrate Martins while singing a birthday song.
To mark the occasion, Mercedes, who had earlier revealed that she works as a pole dancer at night and a chorister during the day, appeared in a stripper’s outfit and gave Martins a sultry performance, much to the amusement of the other housemates.
During a heartfelt conversation with Temi, Martins disclosed that he had never celebrated his birthday in such a way. He said he felt overwhelmed to be celebrated by people he had only recently met, describing it as a completely new experience.
In his words, “This is the first time in my life I have a balloon to my name and a cake. I’m among 24 other strangers, but this is the most love I’ve felt in a long time. I can’t put it into words. This is a new experience for me”.
A visibly emotional Temi replied, “That’s so good. It’s so good that we’re able to have you in the house. Please feel welcome.” She later admitted that Martins’ revelation moved her to tears.
Martins, the third housemate introduced in the “Show Ya Sef” edition, is a model, creative director and visual storyteller from Kogi State. He develops creative ideas, visual concepts and strategies, and has experience in fashion, media and public presentation.
He hopes his participation in Big Brother Naija will provide the visibility needed to elevate his career and expand his influence in the entertainment and creative industries.
