Ezenwoke “Cassi” Nwosu

Ezenwoke Nwosu, popularly known as Cassi, is a Nigerian entrepreneur, actor, model, realtor and former Big Brother Naija housemate. He is from Abia State, where he spent his early years. Cassi became widely known in 2026 after entering Big Brother Naija Season 11 as the show’s 24th and final original housemate.

Early life and background

Cassi was born on 20 June 1999 in Aba, Abia State, and was raised there. He attended Living Word Academy for both his primary and secondary education. Public accounts of his early life indicate that he spent much of his childhood away from his parents, an experience he has said contributed to his independence and self-reliance.

Career

Cassi has developed a diverse professional profile. He has worked as an entrepreneur, actor, commercial model and realtor, with his property interests including short-term rental apartments. He has also been associated with forex trading.

His creative side extends into acting. He appeared in the 2022 romantic drama Black Wedding, adding film work to his modelling and business activities.

Personality and talents

Cassi describes himself as organised, energetic and independent. His official BBNaija profile highlights unusual talents such as drawing, painting and chiropractic therapy. He has also acknowledged that his highly organised nature can sometimes irritate people around him.

He entered the BBNaija house determined to remain authentic rather than follow a rigid strategy. He explained that, in his view, contestants eventually begin living naturally in the house, making it difficult to maintain a carefully constructed game plan.

Big Brother Naija 

Cassi was the 24th and final original housemate introduced for Big Brother Naija Season 11. Unlike contestants who described the show primarily as a platform for fame, Cassi presented it as an opportunity for a fresh start during a difficult period in his life.

During his four-week stay, he participated actively in house activities and performed strongly in the Week 4 Arena Games, which he won. His run also included appearances in several brand-related tasks.

Eviction

Cassi was evicted on 23 August 2026, during Week 4 of the competition. He received 5.27% of the public vote among the nominated housemates, bringing his BBNaija journey to an end after four weeks.

After leaving the house, Cassi described his experience as challenging but enjoyable. He said that interacting with people from different cultures and backgrounds and competing in the Arena Games were among the aspects he particularly appreciated.

Personal life

Cassi was listed as single when he entered Big Brother Naija Season 11. His public profile has largely focused on his entrepreneurial ambitions, entertainment work and desire to build a new chapter in his life.
