If persistence had a poster child this season, it’s Ivatar. At 37, media personality, DJ, and single mum of three, she auditioned seven times before finally breaking into Season 10—a legit grind session from May screens in Lagos, Abuja, and Enugu.
She shared it raw: “It took seven tries, but I’m here.” No shortcut, just sheer resolve. That drive translates into her entry: she’s not a wallflower, not a side hustle—Ivatar came to win.
With Yoruba-Igbo heritage, she navigates culture fluently. Her career spans DJing, TV hosting, modelling, and acting. She holds a high bar—and plans to elevate it inside Biggie’s house.
She’s already speaking her mind: “I’m here to set the record—not break it.” She brings realness with class, and an 18-year‑old daughter who’s already a fan. Season 10 knows: keep it respectful—but don’t underestimate.
Inside the house, she’s subtly building early rapport. She offers guidance to younger housemates, sometimes joking about audition scars: “My heels hurt more than some of your egos.” That wink landed well with girls; ruffled some alpha-male feathers.
Fans are shipping her as a mentor figure—“Imisi’s big sister on deck”—and some hashtags pro‑Ivatar are climbing the charts. From intro night onwards, she’s the elder powerhouse with a plan.
Her story meshes grit, grace, and strategy. Others came with strengths; she came with endurance. With that N150 million prize pool looming, and alliances still shaping, Ivatar’s here to rewrite her narrative.
During her diary session, she said: “This is bigger than me. It’s for every woman who’s ever been told ‘you’re too late.’” That quote? Already viral.
So don’t sleep on Ivatar. She may just be the underdog queen Season 10 didn’t know it needed—but now can’t ignore.
