One of Ghana�s former representatives at the 2012 Big Brother Africa reality show, Eazzy, has described the experience as �absolute hell�, although she entered the contest with her celebrity boyfriend, Keitta, kid brother of hiplife grand papa, Reggie Rockstone.
�I can say I benefited from the experience, but my stay in the house was absolute hell. I probably rushed into the decision to take part. I had very little time to decide on going or not. I had left my record label at the time, and the main reason for that was I wanted to go international with my music. So the BBA platform came at the right time. It was all about putting my brand out there. I did not like the experience though�, was what Eazzy told TV personality, Eddy Blay when he asked her about her experience in the contest.
Eazzy, a sensational musician with a thriving career, further described her stay in the completion as �stressing and frustrating� and said �it was nothing like my everyday life of working and having to do stuff to develop my brand. All we did was sleep all the time. It was not what I imagined it would be at all. But I went into the show for the African recognition, and God being good, that recognition did happen. Channel O, and MTV Base are giving a lot of airplay to my videos also because of my stint on BBA.�
When asked if the contest would have been less stressful for her had she gone in without her boyfriend, this was how Eazzy responded: �It�s hard to tell, because as an individual, I still struggled in there. I was there as Eazzy the celebrity, as Mildred the Housemate, and as one half of a couple too. So I was dealing with all kinds of issues in there. I couldn�t have any real conversation with the other Housemates, because we didn�t really have much in common. Many girls were teaming up against me because they wanted my man. It was all very frustrating. It probably would have been the same if I went in alone - I�m a very bubbly person that likes to do things, and not sit around all day doing nothing. That house is just not a place for Eazzy.�
She told Eddy Blay some rather interesting story about her High School days and how she got into mainstream music: �At Mfantsiman Secondary School, I used to get punished a lot by my seniors. But then they realized I was talented. I used to dress up like Ja Rule, with a fake beard, mustache, and track suit. I was seriously �swagging� on my Hip Hop. I actually pulled it off, and now the seniors, and my mates realized I could rap. Needless to say, the seniors stopped punishing me. I started taking my talent seriously, and performed more often. The next thing I knew I was being voted Entertainment Prefect. I would be in the classroom during prep time, writing lyrics and music. After secondary school, I felt like doing it professionally, but my parents were against it. They insisted I finish tertiary education first. So I did, and when it was over I hooked up with my former record label, �Lynx Entertainment�, and we started releasing my music. The rest is history, as they say.�
