Queen Mercy Atang, a former contestant on Big Brother Naija, revealed in a recent interview with the BBC that the elaborate dress made from 500 loaves of bread, which she wore to the 12th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards, caused her physical discomfort and emotional distress. Designed by Tiana Empire, the dress proved to be excessively heavy, leading to injuries on her back and moments of tears while she attempted to wear it. Despite her initial reluctance to attend the event, Queen expressed surprise at the viral attention her outfit received, stating that she did not anticipate the level of media coverage it garnered, including features from international outlets like the BBC. She described the experience of wearing the dress as challenging, noting that she was unable to sit down during the event due to its weight.
