But Mercy has reportedly been linked to some eligible bachelors on social media since the couple’s breakup, including Jowi Zaza. She was also said to be dating the Nigerian artist Tana, who lives and works in the US. None of these have been officially confirmed by the star, though.
As a result of Ike Onyema’s admission that he would choose the 60 million naira cash price above Mercy Eke, it is rumored that their relationship started to deteriorate. This and other intractable issues caused the split.
Lifestyle
After four auditions, Mercy Eke finally entered the Big Brother Naija house on 30 June 2019. She was declared the winner in October, three months after the competition began, making history as the first woman to take home the prize. When she left the competition, she won N30 million in cash and a brand-new IVM SUV.
Mercy gained notoriety in the Big Brother Naija House in 2019 for having a luscious rear, which made her popular with many.

Mercy Eke entered the BBNaija home as the first step in her path to becoming a reality TV star. She gained a sizable fan base over three months, and this support ultimately significantly impacted her decision to win the reality TV competition. While in the house, Tacha, her main female adversary, and other factors that typically influenced the BBNaija show divided the public opinion regarding their respective personalities, worldviews, and other issues.
This female rivalry intensified until it resulted in an altercation between her and Tacha. As a result, Tacha was ultimately kicked out of the BBNaija house, which gave her a huge advantage in her bid to be named the show’s winner because “Assault” is against the rules in the Big Brother house.
Millions of viewers from various countries became enthralled with the show because of the drama the housemates generated, making this particular season highly popular in Nigeria and across Africa. She was nicknamed “The Queen of Highlights.” Mercy Eke won the BBNaija reality show in October 2019, garnering the most online votes from millions of Nigerian viewers.

She added that no one could compel her to support or keep an eye on the other residents because she doesn’t know them. Because she is a product of the same show that allowed her to become famous, many people felt her statement to be “Insensitive, funny, and ridiculous.”
