BamBam, Reveals How Participating In Big Brother Naija 2018 Helped Advanced Her Acting Profession

Bamike Olowunmi, popularly referred to as BamBam, said that she participated in Big Brother Naija 2018 to advance her acting profession.

In a recent interview with TVC, the ex-BBNaija Season 3 housemate stated that she was tired of going to movie auditions and not receiving roles.

According to Bambam, after multiple failed casting auditions, she chose to use the exposure provided by the Big Brother platform to kickstart her acting career.

The mother-of-two stated that she has always wanted to be a filmmaker, but that it has been extremely difficult for her and her friends to find acting roles after graduating from film school.

The reality TV star, however said that after she left the Big Brother show, her career skyrocketed.

BamBam said; “I have always wanted to be in filmmaking, so I made the decision to audition for Big Brother [Naija] so I would be seen. Because after I graduated from film school, the hustle was real. I remember myself and my colleagues going to auditions, and it was just a waste of time, strength, and money.

“Sometimes, we do waka pass [minor roles], they [producers] go give you N5k. And I left Abuja [to Lagos to pursue my movie career]. I was actually comfortable in Abuja, where I was. I had a 9-to-5 job. I had a car, a dog, and a cat.”
