During a conversation on BBNaija All Stars, housemates Cross and Pere questioned the authenticity of the romantic relationships in the house, referring to them as "fake" and driven by strategy. They discussed various "ships" in the house, using code names like "Malaysia" and "Singapore" to refer to couples, such as Venita and Adekunle, and Soma and Angel. Pere claimed that these relationships were merely tactics to stay in the competition, stating, "All the ship for this house nah strategy."
Cross agreed, adding that the upcoming BBNaija reunion would reveal the truth about these relationships once the housemates were outside the competition. Despite their skepticism, both Cross and Pere had been involved in romantic entanglements during their time in the house.
Pere was currently engaging in a playful flirtation with Mercy, while Cross had a brief romantic involvement with Kimoprah, leading to speculation about a love triangle between Cross, Kimoprah, and Pere. Other housemates, including recently evicted Doyin, had also expressed doubts about the authenticity of some of the romantic connections in the house, suggesting that they might be more about gaining favor with fans and viewers
