Big Brother Africa Profile
Bimp is from Addis Ababa and has a degree in Business Management. He loves fast food and watching TV shows like Family Guy, An Idiot Abroad, Scandal, Homeland and Game of Thrones. His favourite musicians include Tupac, Biggie, Big Pun, Eminem, Mos Def and Talib Kweli.
He says the best thing about Africa is the people, who he describes as “friendly, fun, welcoming and loving”. A middle child, Bimp has both an older and a younger brother.
Bimp entered Big Brother because of fellow Ethiopian Hanni’s experiences in the house. He hopes that Africa learns something from him by watching him 24/7. He wants to represent his country and continent well and do them proud.
He sees himself as “honest, loyal, dependable and responsible” and says his family are excited to see him on TV. If he wins the big prize, he’d like to open a club or bar in Addis Ababa and triple the money! He’d love to travel and start a TV series about his adventures.
Bimp is looking forward to gaining and sharing experiences on Big Brother and is hoping that the experience will help him decide what he does and doesn’t want to do with his life.
