He acknowledged that his household was under significant strain, but said they were not going hungry.
"As I said, we're not suffering. My dad is a tenant. So yeah, we're just suffering mentally," he said.
He also explained that he had contemplated selling his laptop to raise funds but ultimately decided to hold on to it, viewing it as an essential tool for rebuilding his career.
Danboskid was clear that he was not after sympathy. Instead, he appealed to his followers for practical advice and support as he works to piece his life back together.
"I don't really know what to say, but I know I have so many things in mind," he said. "I know I have to change what's going on. I know I have to start altering my own reality. Because I have to make things work regardless."
BBNaija star shares plans to rebuild his career
Despite his current circumstances, Danboskid laid out a multi-pronged strategy for getting back on his feet.
His ambitions include producing a film, breaking through as a top-tier actor, launching an accessories business, and earning income by driving for Uber using vehicles from owners who are no longer using them.
"I have a script going on. I'm going to produce my movie. I'm going to become a movie producer. And a world-class top actor. Yes, that's it," he said, adding: "But how do we go about it? I honestly do not know."
On the accessories venture, he expressed confidence in his eye for quality products and said he intended to open a business page for fans to patronise him directly.

His short-term targets are straightforward: secure his own accommodation, launch his brand, begin Uber driving and provide better support for his family.
"Get something done for myself. Start doing Uber. Start my accessory brand. Get a house for myself. Fix my family, and become a meaningful user. That's the plan," he said.
Danboskid made his BBNaija debut on the show's 2025 season and holds the distinction of being its first evictee, lasting only 12 days before being voted out with the lowest viewer percentage during the first live eviction.
He previously attributed his early exit to a name change inside the house that he said left fans unable to recognise and vote for him.
He captioned the video:
"ROCK BOTTOM!"
