Ikechukwu Okonkwo, the former BBNaija housemate popularly known as Cross, says he was offered N500 million and $200,000 to sleep with a man but rejected the advances.

Cross disclosed this while defending White Money, who recently shared that a man had slid into his DMs and called him “papi”.

White Money had questioned the approach while insisting that he had no interest in men.

The post sparked reactions, with some users arguing that the reality star’s mannerisms invite same-sex attention.

Cross defends White Money

Weighing in on the matter in a series of X posts, Cross said a man’s feminine energy does not determine his sexuality.

“You all should leave White Money alone. A man can have a feminine energy and be 100% straight,” he wrote.

“I have been offered 500million naira, $200k to sleep with a man and I refused. And many other offers also. U can’t buy me with money or material things; that’s something my mum taught me from childhood.”

Cross also backed White Money’s decision to make the unsolicited message public, saying he could equally share his own direct messages.

“Whitemoney is right to post that man. If I was to post my DMs, will you be mad at me also?” he wrote.

“Some men are so stupid. They send you rubbish on your DMs and think it’s okay to send things to people.”

Cross speaks on unsolicited advances

The reality star said some people in the entertainment industry engage in such behaviour as a joke or as part of their lifestyle.

He, however, urged people to be mindful that not everyone is comfortable with such interactions.

“I understand some people play and go down like that, especially in our community and industry. But be cautious because it’s not everyone that plays like that,” he said.

Cross also expressed his views on same-sex attraction, saying those who experience it need spiritual intervention.

“And as a man, if you like your fellow man, you need deliverance; there is a spirit in you making you do such evil. And this goes to women also, not just men. We will pray for you because Jesus loves you too,” he said.
