Big Brother’s Neo speaks up about why she blocked Taki

What seemed like a ‘ship’ that did not get a chance to sail in the Big Brother Mzansi house, sunk in a short space of time.

Former contestants who entered the house as disrupters, Neo Sibiya and Taki Muthige had some sort of romantic connection in the house before disruptor Faheema born as Alfredoh Matingwane and Neo were voted out by viewers, leaving Taki as a housemate competing for the ultimate prize in the house.

Upon leaving the house, Taki and Neo found each other and formed a romantic relationship which ended with cheating allegations on Taki.

Recently Taki and former housemate, Sinaye Kotobe took it to their podcast; SinTaki unplugged to share Taki’s version of events.

According to Taki, he received a message from Neo telling him that someone on Tik Tok kept spamming her and saying that her boyfriend is cheating on her. He added that Neo must have felt the pressure from friends and family to block him after the video of Taki and another girl ‘cozy’ at Sinaye’s place circulated on socials. Sinaye revealed that he was also blocked by Neo.

After what was shared in the podcast, Neo took it to her Instagram story to share her side of the story and saying she communicated the matter with Taki before blocking him and unfollowed Sinaye.
