Ebuka Obi-Uchendu made a bold fashion statement at tonight’s Big Brother Naija eviction show, drawing direct inspiration from the iconic Nollywood star Chinedu Ikedieze, famously known as Aki. Dressed in a royal blue three-piece suit complete with a long, structured overcoat, Ebuka’s look was both sharp and nostalgic, paying homage to one half of the legendary “Aki and Pawpaw” duo known for his comedic genius and enduring pop culture influence.

The outfit, designed by renowned Nigerian designer Mai Atafo, maintained a cohesive and polished aesthetic with a matching blue fedora, dark sunglasses, and black leather shoes. Ebuka emphasized the tribute on social media, describing Ikedieze as “undisputed Nollywood royalty and global meme factory,” underscoring the veteran actor’s influence not only in Nigerian cinema but also in internet culture worldwide.

This look continues Ebuka’s tradition this season of incorporating Nigerian cultural icons into his wardrobe, previously honoring music legends such as King Sunny Ade, Oliver De Coque, and Prince Nico Mbarga. By blending fashion with rich entertainment heritage, Ebuka not only elevates his style but also spotlights the icons who have shaped Nigeria’s vibrant pop culture landscape.
