Big Brother Naija Season 11 officially premiered on Sunday, July 26, 2026. The “Show Ya Sef” edition immediately sparked online conversations as new contestants entered Biggie’s house.
ValidUpdates understands that fans quickly recognized a housemate named Tram from a past internet controversy. Social media users dug up an old clip featuring the reality star and American streamer IShowSpeed. The footage shows Tram meeting Speed during the streamer’s highly publicized Nigerian tour.
The viral store encounter
During the original store video, Tram walked up to Speed and offered him a hidden item. Viewers on X previously posted a photo identifying Tram as the man involved.
The viewers claimed Tram gave Speed a condom. They also alleged Tram told the streamer he had girls for him. Fans reshared these screenshots widely across social platforms today.
”I got you right. I got this n—a,” Tram told the streamer quietly. “Don’t show anybody that, come on,” he added during the brief exchange.
Speed looked completely confused during the strange store interaction. The American streamer quickly turned to his camera to question the unusual situation. He sought answers from his live viewers immediately.
”What is he talking about?” Speed asked his audience confusedly. “That’s my n—a, dog … Chat…” the internet star quickly noted.
Tram rebukes Nigerian fans
Following the initial backlash, Tram recorded a podcast episode to defend his actions. The new housemate called Nigerian fans hypocrites for treating the internet personality like a god. Viewers are now reacting heavily to this old defense video while Tram settles into the reality show.
”N—a, I was only trying to be funny,” Tram explained on the podcast. “Everybody in Nigeria is such a hypocrite,” he noted regarding the intense public backlash.
Tram argued that Speed built his massive fame by acting wild and begging for attention online. He specifically reminded fans that Speed previously begged football legend Cristiano Ronaldo for a picture. The reality star insisted he did nothing wrong during the brief meeting.
He stated he is older than the 21-year-old content creator and simply spoke to him normally. Twitter user @symply_kimm posted the throwback clip on July 26, 2026, to reveal his identity.
Tram mocked fans for trying to act overly respectful towards someone who barks on the internet. He maintained his firm stance that his casual approach was completely justified. The housemate refused to apologize for treating the famous streamer like a regular person.
”It’s paining me like, all of you are acting like… like Speed is Jesus Christ,” Tram declared. “All of you are trying to be respectful to a n—a that barks on social media,” he shouted.
