Former Big Brother Naija Season5 housemate Erica Nlewedim, has taken to her verified Twitter account to announce that she had trademarked her nickname ‘Star Girl’.
Erica’s fans, known as Elites, gave her the nickname during the last edition of the reality TV show, based on their belief that she was leading the show as a star.
Bringing the news to her fans’ notice on Thursday, Erica tweeted, “Elites did it! STAR GIRL has been trademarked!”
So far, the tweet has garnered over 12,000 likes, 3,000 retweets and 1,800 comments.
In reaction to the feedback she got from fans, Erica later tweeted: “You guys are making me blush. Ok bye. Elites = Best”
On September 6,2020, Erica was disqualified from the Big brother Naija show after she got 3 strikes for consistently breaking rules of the house.
The foul that earned her the disqualification came after she verbally attacked fellow housemate, Laycon. She had used uncharitable words on the former housemate.
But her disqualification didn’t sink the love ‘Elites’ have for their star girl, as they had opened a Gofundme account and started a fundraiser to encourage her.
Within 3 hours of opening the Gofundme account, Nigerians and fans of Erica contributed over $9,000 to the count. She reportedly got over $66,000 from the fundraiser.
