When it comes to mental health, there is nothing like hard guy
A video spotted on social media saw BBNaija Kayvee sitting before journalist Chude Jideonwo as they discussed his time in the house.
According to Kayvee, the first few days in the house were lovely as he got to know more about the other housemates. Things, however, changed later when he realised that not all the housemates were as open as he is.
Referring to Kayvee as a hard guy, adding that he is familiar with the streets, Chude then asked how he could be affected by anxiety. The BBNaija star said anxiety can hit anybody.
