Revealing, exposing and intimate!

One of the best ways of knowing your beloved celebrities is through cavernous and subtle interviews.

But what is novel is when the stars interview each other.

This week, former Big Brother Africa housemates Maria Nepembe, Idris Sultan, Dillish Mathews, Beverly Osu and Luis Munana did just that. The conversations flowed slickly and the inside jokes are real. All in all, it was lit.

Below are their awesome, hilarious interactions.



Idris (I) and Beverly (B)

B: How will you describe your love life so far?

I: My love life is crazy; for the past two years I might have dated more than 15 women just trying to find the right one. I have a thing about vibes; if we don't vibe, I don't feel the life of the relationship. I try to light it up and if it's still dull, then we don't have to waste each other, but set each other free to find better souls that match. I guess that's why I'm friends with most of my ex-partners.



B: what projects are you involved in that will help enlighten and empower African youth?

I: I'm doing two massive projects which I believe will be revolutionary. The first is SIO HABARI, which is a complete Kiswahili political satire TV show. The show is meant to reduce ignorance and inform us through comedy. The second is an African superhero animation called DUMA which is targeted to preserve our culture and teach history as well in a modern way.



B: Do you intend to bring your comedy to West Africa?

I: Absolutely, I know Nigerian comedy is more aggressive and not laid back, so I'm stretching the timeframe to get on the energy wagon of Nigerians; then I'm definitely coming that way. Maybe I might solve the Jolof war with Ghana.



B: what exactly I went wrong between you and Samantha?

I: That was actually one of those perfect relationships, but I guess career paths and life choices made us split in a way. We still talk and we're cool now, regardless of the fact that I know she will knife me when she gets the chance to (she's a coloured girl, you don't mess with those).



Maria (M) and Luis (L)

M: Did you really date Tanzanian superstar, Wema, or was it just a publicity stunt?

L: Here's the real story. I had just come out of Big Brother Africa and my ex and I (my girlfriend at the time) were still going strong. Months later we broke up and I was devastated. I was living in Tanzania at the time because Idris and I were very close. He told me I should move on so he sent me on a blind date. I agreed and took her out to see a movie. No publicity stunt whatsoever; but Idris' relationship with her, now that was the publicity stunt!



M: Your body, is it genes or do you have meal plans you follow?

L: I would be lying if I said it's all gym and meal plans, because I can stay away from the gym and eat like a pig for a month and get back in shape in literally two weeks. I think it's mostly genes!



M: Who is your hero?

L: God is everyone's hero and that would be the politically correct answer. However, there's a whole army: family, Thomas my manager, my friends and Daniel my partner and best friend.



M: When did you realise your passion for creating TV content?

L: After Big Brother Africa I wanted to produce and create content more, because what happened inside the house is not necessarily what the viewers' get to see. I realised that with TV one can manipulate and interpret one's vision however you see fit.



Luis and Dillish (D)

L: What's the lowest amount you've been paid for a gig and what was it for?

D: Zero bucks and it was to judge a pageant down south. No regrets though… lol.



L: What is your dream and definition of happiness?

D: My dream is to be successful businesswoman, be happy and have peace.



L: If we were to write a book about you, what would the title be?

D: The Delicious D Money



L: How will you know you've officially made it in life, if you haven't already?

D: When I'm sitting in front of my private lake with my nine children running around me and my hubby in my periphery.



L: The Kardashians have a motto of 'never read the comments'. How do you handle negative articles and negative comments? How do you explain it to your loved ones?

D: What other people think of me is none of my business. My friends and family know my character and that's all that matters to me. I'm grown enough to differentiate between right and wrong. I am the kind of flame that doesn't die easily.



Dillish and Beverly (B)

D: What's the one thing you want to change in the world and why?

B: Racism. Racism needs to stop, it's a hate crime. We all should imagine how beautiful the world will be if we all just love one another. Peace, love and progress.



D: How did your acting career start?

B: I have always wanted to be an actress and went for auditions, and then on the big screen, and it happened.



D: What's the first thing you would buy if you won a million dollars today?

B: Land, houses and invest the rest.



D: What are the five items you always keep on you?

B: My phone, power bank, lip gloss, bank cards and sunglasses.



D: What's the one thing you wish the opposite sex understood?

B: Periods.

Idris and Maria



I: The Jeep you're driving, does this say anything about your personality or love life?

M: My dream car has always been Jeep. It really has nothing to do with my personality, but I sure do feel confident and intimidating on the road when I drive my humongous car.



I: How many tattoos do you have and what do they symbolise?

M: I have five tattoos and all of them represent a certain transitioning that has occurred in my life. My most prized tattoo is the one that says 'MOM, which is pretty much self-explanatory. I have another tattoo of the African map on my back and it just symbolises my roots as an African.



I: Why do you have such a few friends that count? Is it trust issues?

M: Friendships, or should I say relations, require a lot of effort like respect, trust and loyalty. This will not be possible with a big circle of friends. I need to protect my space as well.



I: What's your favourite act of romance?

M: When my significant other makes time for me.
