Tensions reached a boiling point in the Big Brother Naija Season 10 house on Thursday night when an intense argument between housemates Zita and Rooboy spiralled into a dramatic food fight and physical retaliation, leaving fellow housemates in shock and fans buzzing on social media.
The heated altercation unfolded during a group task involving Team Pineapple. Zita accused Rooboy of disrupting her team’s performance, saying his actions were “blown out of proportion” and showed his inability to manage conflict. Her blunt criticism struck a nerve, and despite Rooboy’s insistence that he had already apologised to the team, Zita dismissed him, stressing that he never apologised directly to her. The tension heightened when other housemates, including Sultana, Mensan, and Kola, weighed in, with Kola suggesting that Rooboy’s apology may have been too general. This only added fuel to the fire.
What began as a verbal exchange quickly escalated into a barrage of insults. Rooboy called Zita “stupid,” prompting her to clap back, labelling him a “dumb ass man.” Rooboy then provocatively asked, “If I piss you off, what are you going to do?” At that moment, Zita lost her cool, grabbing a plate of Indomie and throwing it at him. The shocking act triggered Rooboy to retaliate by physically hitting her, sparking gasps and chaos inside the house.
Housemates react to the clash
The drama left the rest of the house divided. Housemate Isabella immediately confronted Zita, condemning her for throwing food at Rooboy and escalating the fight. Others looked stunned, while whispers about possible consequences filled the air. Big Brother Naija is known for its zero-tolerance policy on physical violence, and both Zita and Rooboy’s actions could trigger serious disciplinary action, ranging from strikes to outright disqualification.
Fans of the reality show have already taken to social media to share their opinions on the matter. While some defended Rooboy’s reaction, others insisted that both housemates crossed the line and should be punished equally to preserve fairness in the competition. The fiery incident has already started trending, with many calling on Big Brother to make an example of them.

Everythingkaffy commented: “Omo Hope disqualification is not loading for someone like this 😳😳😳.”
IconicLawyer wrote: “Both of them should be disqualified, abeg. Biggie has been too lenient this season, nobody is taking his rules seriously anymore.”
iamtenseven added: “What Zita did to Rooboy here is no different from what Faith did to Imisi. Big Brother did not issue a strike to the native doctor. I hope Zita does not get a strike for this. If she does, the rumour that the production is backing Faith might be true.”
The shocking food fight has now sparked nationwide debate among BBNaija fans, many of whom are waiting eagerly to see how Big Brother will handle the fallout. With the show’s reputation for being strict on violent behaviour, disciplinary action appears inevitable, and this could be one of the most defining moments of the season.
