"Still grasping my new reality" - Kanaga Jr
Speaking on what it's been like since leaving the BBTitan house, he said;
"It's been nothing but joy for me. I'm truly happy, thankful, and grateful for the opportunity. In truth, I'm still grasping my new reality."
Kanaga continued, noting that he outdid himself and spent way longer than he envisaged he would on the show.
"I still don't know how I spent 11 weeks on the show; my plan was at most two weeks. Getting to the final and coming as the first runner-up is nothing but grace, which I am truly grateful for."
Kanaga's game plan
We asked Kanaga Jr his game plan before going into Biggie's house and how he implemented it to reach the final.
He said;
"I am not sure what got me this far because, in truth, I didn't really have a game plan going into the house. But I think my confidence helped, my energy at the Saturday night party, and my being myself.
He also touched on his motivational skills and how he inspired people and his colleagues on the show, which he noted might be one of the reasons he survived as long as he did.
Kanaga said;
"I love inspiring people. I am not saying I am some kind of motivational speaker, but I know I love to inspire people, and it won't stop in the house. I think this helped me during my stay in Biggie's house."

"I tried in 2022 and 2022, but was I rejected" - Kanaga reveals
The Abia state-born star shared that BBTitan wasn't his first attempt at reality TV. He noted that he had tried to get on the show before and auditioned in 2020 and 2022 but was rejected.
"This isn't my first try to be on the show; I auditioned in 2020 and 2022 before I finally got picked. Like I said earlier, I have come to realise that once it is your time, nothing can stop you."
"I sold my craft and told my story," BBTitan finalist says
When we asked Kanaga Jr was he was most happy about since embarking on the journey of reality TV stardom, he said:
"I am happy and grateful that I was able to sell my craft, told my story to the world and in the midst of it all, I have been able to stay true to myself."
