Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Marvis who real names are Marvis Nkpornwi was a major title contender on the 2017 edition of the reality TV show. The princess has however mentioned that she was able to survive the madness on the show because of her polygamous background.
Marvis spoke with Emelogu Favour in this new interview and she touched areas like her music career, growing up in a polygamous family, Efe Ejeba, and Big Brother Naija.
She was asked about her recent hiatus in the industry before re-surfacing with an EP. She however responded saying that was not true:
I didn’t go underground. I’ve been out there doing stuff ranging from music to movies while working on #HereTheEp’. Being my first body of work I’m putting out musically, Nigerians should expect something far from the usual.
The singer also talked about the opportunities that her participation on the Big Brother Naija show has opened for her:
BBNaija is a huge platform I’m sure we all agree. And for someone like me that was prepared enough for the opportunity when it came knocking, I’ve done nothing but take the bull by the horn since the show and afterward. My current challenge is some people think I’m already set up; so I don’t “entirely” need their support but I’m upcoming, and your support is all I need.
Marvis is from a polygamous family and she explained on how her background helped her survive through the storms on the show then:
Yes, I come from a polygamous family. My dad is married to four wives and I have 19 siblings. It has actually given me more than I’d like to agree. Because when I went into the Big Brother house, I was seeing people act like their madness was the peak. That was why I could unlook a lot of the drama because there was nothing new. I’ve witnessed the pettiest of all squabbles and it’s hard to surprise me.
On her relationship with her fellow ex-housemates on the show, Marvis has this to say:
The other 2017 housemates and I are quite kosher. We see every now and again and when we do, we try to make it worth it. I think everyone is doing really well in their different areas, and this is only the beginning.
Apart from music, the beautiful lady also mentioned that she is into modelling:
Modelling and movies. One is out in the cinemas already. It’s titled ‘Mummy Dearest’ and there are more to come. Also my #Nahsodotcom campaign is growing stronger. We launched Nahso.com in April 2017. The name was coined by the slogan I say every time I hear about something that makes sense, like a unique idea, topic or happening. With this brand, I wish to start a movement, through which I can preach positivity and productivity among youths.
She was the asked about her perception on the current BBNaija housemates?
I think people expected more from them, but they’ve been nothing but entertaining in their own way. So I think it’s a good season all the same.
