Before BBNaija, Saskay was a Fine Artist and Model
Saskay grew a passion for fine arts, music, and painting from a tender age. She also loved dancing but had her interest more in the arts. After secondary school, she began to use her skills and talents in painting and carving out a living for herself. She produces her works using canvas (acrylic painting), and they come out perfectly well. She is also a face painter.

BBNaija Significantly Boosted Her Fame
Even though she has been doing just well for herself before BBNaija, the fact remains that Saskay gained public recognition only after the reality TV show in 2021. Participating in the biggest reality show is not a common opportunity, and Saskay leveraged it to build fame for herself even though she did not stay till the end of the show.
Saskay was among the 26 contestants on the reality show, which took off on July 24, 2021, and lasted for 72 days. Despite being one of the youngest housemates in the season, the black beauty was able to cordially relate with her fellow housemates. She was all about giving good vibes and being a great entertainer in the house.
She also believes in minding her business and being a peacemaker whenever a fight ensues among the housemates. Saskay was evicted in the eighth week of the show alongside Yousef after they pulled the lowest votes. She spent eight out of the total of ten weeks.
Meanwhile, during her stay in the house, she was one of the most loved contestants and gathered a huge community of fans under the moniker’ Sasforce.’ Her creative delivery and competitive strength during task preparations/presentations and her winnings earned her much love even after she came out of the house.
After the season, her popularity took a new dimension. Saskay leveraged the fame he earned from the show to delve into acting. She most recently made her acting debut in February 2021 in a romance-comedy film Cake, playing the character Ifeoma. Also, since then, she has launched a higher level of recognition in her painting and modeling career.
In November 2021, she made her debut in the 10th edition of the Lagos Fashion Week. Donning various pieces from fashion designers like Banke Kuku, Sisiano, and Studio 189, Saskay displayed her dancing and modeling skills in style.
