Big Brother Naija ex-housemate Hermes Iyele has revealed that his acquired British accent resulted from the hard work he put in to reinvent himself.
In a viral video, Hermes said he worked so much on his talents to build himself to sound like a British person.
The reality star said it was easy for people to drag him because they grew up among elites, but he did not have that luxury as he grew up in a slum in Lagos.
Hermes said he had to reinvent himself, and he is proud of how good he sounds. He queried why people talk about others getting out of their horrible backgrounds and doing better but get angry when someone makes that move.
The BBNaija star trended online after a video of him complaining about his British accent and how a brand treated him at an event went viral.
Watch Hermes’ reply to his critics and the first video that started the drama below:
