Big Brother Naija, BBNaija housemate, Tochi, has responded to viral reports that he called reality TV star Erica a gold digger.

Tochi on his official Twitter page on Tuesday, explained that his words were misinterpreted.

According to him, his statement was that Erica is an Igbo lady and ambitious but not a gold digger.

He further apologised to those who heard or misinterpreted his words wrongly.

His tweet read:

“My words “Erica is Igbo like me we don’t like to suffer and she is very ambitious, since she set foot inside the house she knew what she wanted was to win I love her driving spirit”

“Never called her a gold digger” and to those that heard wrong I apologise.”
