Mercy Eke has always loved the reputation of being a ‘hot girl’, so you can imagine that everything about her screams HOTNESS. This translates not just to her looks or social media account but also to her partnerships and content.
The BBNaija Season 4 winner has taken all of that fiery energy and placed it in the brand new season of her show, Mercy What Next. After letting fans into her chaotic relationship with Ike in the first season of the show and subsequently calling it quits, Lambo is back with more. And as always, she starts the first episode with explosive comments about her relationships, mistakes, future plans, business and more. Here are seven outrageous things she said during the premiere of her show:
1. The matter of her relationship with Ike: She called the relationship a disaster and blamed Ike’s age for the major reason why things didn’t work out between them. She also said 80% of their relationship drama was on him. In her words, “Before I jump into another relationship, I have to be very careful and to know if what I’m getting into is worth it because the last one was a disaster. I tried and he can say that. Even when everybody thought we were not dating or I didn’t love him. He knew that I loved him. He didn’t try. I don’t blame him, I think it’s his age”.
2. The low-down of everything happening in her life: In case you missed it, Mercy is more than just a pretty face – she’s a CEO. Her breakdown of everything happening in her life will have you wondering how she juggles it all. She shared, “The Mercy brand is taking over the world. I’m venturing into acting. Did I tell you guys that I’m also into oil and gas? I supply diesel to companies now. My Lambo Homes is doing amazingly good. M&M Luxury – I have my offline store launching soon. I’m doing a lot of things that I hardly have time for myself. I mean since last year guys, I haven’t even left the country because I’ve been working back to back. It’s not easy trying to move this brand to my permanent site.”
3. Mercy revealed that her move to acting hasn’t been so smooth: She was dropped from a couple of movies. She said, “I’ve had a lot of scripts and I’m beginning to think that movies are something I should do more of. And I’ve had a lot of scripts that I did not really put effort and energy into. Some I was dropped and replaced, but that won’t stop me. So welcome me, all the actors and actresses in the building. I’m ready for that movie, I’m ready for that script. Just hit me up. I’m a bit expensive, but you know what you’re getting.”
4. Mercy has so many clothes and shoes now, her wardrobe can’t even contain them: She shared that she’s had to redo her entire space because she needed something new for the new season. “So talking about new things; you know, new things, new season. I just bagged season 2 and I’m all ready for it. So I changed my interiors, I changed my furniture in the house, cos I got tired of them. I wanted something modern and cute. I had to change everything in my walk-in closet because my shoes were getting plenty and I started putting them on the floor. My clothes could not fit in my closet and I just needed to walk around my house again and change everything.”
5. What Mercy Eke wants you to expect in season 2: If you thought Mercy’s lifestyle was flamboyant before now, she wants you to expect even more. “This season 2, I’m hoping for the best. I’m hoping for a lifestyle show. I want to do more trips, maybe another car – I need a Lambo.”
6. She’s planning to trick her mom into moving permanently to Lagos: Mercy announced on the show that she wants her mom to come to visit, and if possible stay in Lagos with her forever. “What is she even doing in Owerri sef. She can actually visit and spend some months here before going back to Owerri. That’s if I will let her go back.”
7. The Mr H situation: Mercy finally put the rumours to rest. She has a new man and that’s that about that, but everyone’s gonna have to wait for a while to finally see him. “Mr H is someone, he’s there. He’s a man. But like I said, this is too early to expose him, because he’s been warning me. But hopefully, I can show you guys my Mr H. He’s handsome, cool, loving, caring. Soon, you’ll get to know who Mr H is.”
Mercy Eke didn’t say this – but it’s perhaps the most outrageous thing about the premiere. Her idea of a workout session includes a few cardio workouts and a ton of twerking. It’s the most hilarious thing you’ll hopefully get to see more of on the show.
If there’s anything this first episode tells us, it’s that there is bound to be an abundance of hot tea this season with special appearances from Mercy’s team, family, friends and Mr H. Catch the second episode this Sunday at 6 pm on Africa Magic Showcase.
