The highly anticipated, border-breaking #BBTitans is a fusion of Big Brother Naija and Big Brother Mzansi, featuring Housemates from both countries. The grand prize? An impressive US$100,000.

Helmed by BBNaija’s Ebuka Obi-Uchendu and BBMzansi’s Lawrence Maleka – co-hosts for this season of the much-loved franchise – the glittering launch featured performances by Boohle, D’Banj, Deep London, and Bontle Modiselle and the Bontle Modiselle Dance Studio.
