I didn&#8217;t do any research before and I never pictured myself in any reality TV stuff,&#8221; 2Baba said. &#8220;I never sat down to watch any reality TV show before, only maybe if someone was watching it when I walked into a place. I really never thought I&#8217;d be in one but love makes you do things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked about his experience on the show, 2Baba described it as &#8220;interesting,&#8221; noting the complexities involved in producing the show. He humorously added that he struggled with being anything less than authentic for the cameras.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Being on the reality TV show was interesting, seeing how they put all these things together is quite interesting. My problem is I don&#8217;t know how to not be real in a reality show so I think I was the most boring person in that whole setup. I don&#8217;t know how to separate reality from reality TV so it gets ridiculous sometimes,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<p>The Netflix show debuted in 2022 and features stars from across the African continent, including Khanyi Mbau (South Africa), Diamond Platnumz (Tanzania), Annie Macaulay-Idibia (Nigeria), Zari the Boss Lady (Uganda), Naked DJ (South Africa), Nadia Nakai, Swanky Jerry (Nigeria), Andile Ncube (South Africa), and Kayleigh Schwark (South Africa).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Oratokhai Jesusemen O.
