“Stop playing me son” — Baddies Africa star Tavii discusses her feud with Dolly and Big Lex

In one of the most dramatic confrontations of the season, Tavii Babii met Big Lex and Badd Dolly in Baddies Africa Episode 8, which caused tensions to blow up. Friends became bitter rivals overnight when the cast arrived in Johannesburg, and what started as tension on the bus turned into a physical altercation.

Tavii, who has suffered bodily and psychological injuries, talked about the incident that sent her over the edge: the stealing and shattering of her cherished "Baddie chain." She called out the showmanship and demanded respect and clarity,

"If the goal wasn’t to snatch my chain… if you just coming for my face and trying to do that… Stop playing me son. I will get down the bottom of anything. It should just make sense to me."

She accused Dolly and Big Lex of provoking her into a fictitious altercation that was not based on real disagreement but rather on attention-seeking. The necklace represented earned respect and was more than just jewelry, so its dismantling felt like a betrayal on several levels.

This dramatic event was a crash course in loyalty, reputation, and power rather than glitz or gossip. Big Lex and Dolly are alerted by Tavii's call-out that the game's rules about respect have been revised. And as viewers brace for the fallout, one thing is clear: this fight is about more than jewelry; it’s about authority, authenticity, and who really rules the Baddies.

Tavii talks to Natalie after a heated chain snatch on Baddies Africa

In Episode 8 of Baddies Africa, Big Lex and Badd Dolly got into a heated argument with Tavii, also known as "Tavii Babii," over a provocative chain-snatching event. Their tenuous bond was shattered by the swiftly intensifying fight on the bus, which led to a public confrontation that revealed the intense feelings that were hidden beneath the surface.

Tavii wasn't upset only because someone took her chain, which is a sign of respect. She thought the action was personal and a deliberate attempt to deprive her of her position. Tavii swore after Natalie Nunn stepped in, believing she had been purposefully provoked to heighten the tension on TV.

"I didn't never need a f*cking storyline. That's what the f*ck that was now. It wasn't real," Baddies Africa star said, accusing Lex and Dolly of fabricating the altercation to stay relevant.

Tavii saw it as a concerted effort on their part to reclaim the spotlight at her expense, rather than an unplanned altercation.

Behind the bus brawl — What led to the showdown on Baddies Africa episode 8

A casual Baddies Africa discussion about alliances sparked tensions during the bus ride from Cape Town to Johannesburg. Tavii became irritated by Lex's expressive movements, which led to a full-fledged altercation between them.

Dolly, who had intervened late in the argument, purposefully seized Tavii's chain because she was angry that Tavii, not her, had previously earned the Baddie chain. Photographers rolling as they got off the bus only made the fight, which was tangled in bruises, blood, and broken chains, into a live broadcast.
