1. Jackie B

Big Brother Naija S06 housemate, Jackie B is the daughter of Nigerian senator Grace Folashade Bent, a senator who was elected in April 2007 on the People's Democratic Party platform in the Adamawa South constituency of Adamawa State.

I made the discovery when I saw a tweet from Nigerian politician and lawyer, Femi Fani-Kayode who said:

I fully endorse Jackie B who is the daughter of my dearest sister and friend Senator Grace Bent! Please vote for her! 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👌👌

2. Prince

Last year's Big Brother Naija S05 contestant Prince is actually a real life prince. He is the son of King Leomike Enwerem, the king of Ebie Land in Imo State. His full title: His Royal Highness Leomike Enwerem, Eze Ebii I of Ebie Land in Imo State.

3. Cross

Cross' father is the late Christopher Ikechukwu Okonkwo aka Ezego from Oba Uke Idemili North Anambra. The revelation was made on Cross' Instagram.

4. Kiddwaya

One of the more popular father and son relations that we all know of. In 2020, Big Brother Naija contestant Kiddwaya became very popular when it was revealed that he is the son of popular Nigerian billionaire, Terry Waya.

Kidd on multiple occasions talked about the relationship he has with his father both during his time on the show and after the show. Terry Waya has also on numerous occasions given his thoughts about his son Kidd’s time in the house and he also campaigned for him to win even though in the end, he did not.

This is the celebrity parent on this list most people know about.

He passed away earlier this year, on March 24, 2021, a few months before Arin entered the Big Brother house.

That's All.
