Reality star and actress Beverly Osu has opened up that her mother never wanted her to win Big Brother Africa reality TV show in 2013.
She stated this during a recent interview with HIPTV.
Osu humorously noted that her mother didn’t want her to win the cash prize, fearing it would lead her astray.
She expressed relief that she didn’t win, citing that she might not have had the maturity to manage the prize money effectively at the time.
She said: “I’m happy I didn’t win now because there was nothing I was going to do then that was going to make me win.
” If the fans were praying for me to win, the woman who birthed me was praying to God that ‘If this child is going to win this money and go astray, because she has gone astray before,. If she is going to win this money and go astray, God please don’t give it to her.’”
“God’s timing is the best and we are happy that now we have made more than that money. If I had the money then, I probably would not have known what to do with it then. I didn’t have the experience to make it impactful in my life so yeah, so far I’m winning in life now”
She further stated that she is proud of how her life and career have evolved positively since then.
