Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Adeoluwa Okusaga, popularly known as Saga, shares details about his career and personal life in a recent interview with OGHENOVO EGODO-MICHAEL.
Saga reveals that before BBN, he was a struggling artist, and although he graduated as an engineer, he didn’t have excellent results and didn’t see himself practicing engineering.
He started painting as a side hustle, and six months later, he got a job as an engineer, which made him shift his focus from art to engineering. However, in 2016, he felt the need to pursue his art career more seriously, and BBN presented the opportunity to make up for the lost years. Post-BBN, he organized successful events and exhibitions, establishing himself as a renowned artist.
When asked about the hardest part of navigating the entertainment industry, Saga emphasizes on the business aspect, admitting that he was ill-prepared for it. However, he had already been prepared by God for most of the things he is currently doing. He also shares that before BBN, he started a fitness club and created online content, indicating that he had been venturing into the entertainment world gradually.
Recalling his favorite experience as an actor, Saga cites his role in Uche Mbunabo’s movie titled, Life in Two Pictures, for which he put a lot of effort to prove that ex-BBN housemates work hard for their achievements. He also notes that his friend Liquorose and he have a close friendship, leading them to create successful skits together.
When it comes to his art career, Saga reveals that he wants to be a world-renowned artist and eventually establish an art institute. He confesses that he enjoys painting nudes and aspires to be known as a nude artist. Additionally, he addresses misconceptions about ex-BBN housemates, stating that they work hard and make sacrifices to achieve their goals.
Despite the success he has garnered post-BBN, Saga maintains that his family’s support has been pivotal in his journey. He highlights how his father, who initially didn’t support his entertainment career, now fully backs him.
