From Crush to Caution: Kola Backs Away from Dede Drama

It started with eye contact and ended with a quiet unfollow.

Reality TV personality Kola has decided to take a step back from his slow-brewing romantic tension with Dede, and his reason? He’s seen how the script plays out — and he’s not signing up for a rerun.

In a candid conversation with housemates, Kola confessed he’s pulling the brakes before emotions turn into embarrassment.

“I like her, yes. But I’m not about to become the guy begging for attention on national TV. I’ve watched that movie before, remember Ozo and Nengi? Not again.”

It seems Kola’s taking notes from history, choosing to prioritize his pride over puppy eyes. And in a show where perception is everything, he’s playing the long game.

Interestingly, Dede has remained quietly unfazed, neither confirming nor denying any emotional connection. Whether she’s being strategic or simply uninterested, one thing’s clear — Kola’s pulling out before he ends up in meme territory.

Fans are split. Some applaud his self-awareness and maturity, while others feel he might be missing out on genuine connection due to fear of vulnerability. But for Kola, respect over regret seems to be the motto.
