The long-simmering conflict between Tavii Babii and Big Lex was rekindled during the Baddies Africa cast's journey to Johannesburg in Episode 8. Lex brought up the earlier event at the winery, which turned from a friendly conversation into a furious altercation. Tavii became enraged at Lex's ostentatious arm gestures, her raised hands seemed disrespectful, and she retaliated angrily, starting a heated fight that heated up the bus.

The dynamics of the Baddies Africa group were affected by this bus-side altercation. With unresolved winery hostility acting as the spark, what started off as a routine ride turned into a heated altercation.


Big Lex and Tavii’s raw altercation in Baddies Africa Episode 8

The winery incident caused old wounds to revive when the Baddies Africa cast set off for Johannesburg. When Big Lex brought up the altercation between Tavii Bablii and Kold Killa, the anger was rekindled. The conversation started off as harmless enough, but things quickly changed as Tavii became irritated with Lex's active communication style, especially her propensity to punctuate her points with her hands. According to Tavii, that gesture felt dismissive and insulting, and a heated argument quickly descended into a full-on shouting match in Baddies Africa's latest episode.

Dolly intervened to escalate the scene by grabbing Tavii's newly earned Baddie Chain and tearing it from her neck. The emotional stakes were raised by that action, which infuriated Tavii and fueled the impending turmoil. As spectators attempted to disperse the trio, voices rose, feet stamped, and fists started to fly. The altercation continued into the street as the gang departed, with Big Lex and Tavii punching each other until security guards stepped in.

Tavii was left surprised and shaken by Big Lex's punch square to her face at the end of the event. After security separated the two, the excitement aboard the bus turned into ferocious animosity. This argument was intense, muscular, and unrelenting; it wasn't simply another verbal argument, but something that would definitely come to the surface in the future.

The altercation exposed the poisonous undercurrent that pervaded the cast, demonstrating that ferocious feelings from the winery persisted, ready to flare at the first sign. The question today is whether this crack will ever heal or if Johannesburg will mark a turning point for long-lasting rifts in the group dynamic, since unresolved tensions have spilled into physical violence.
