The actress said, she did not win the show for the second time because people “were allergic to winners.”
She said,
“The first time, I went into the Big Brother House, it was all cute, lovely people. I played the game and I won the show. And I thought it was all cute, then I went back for the second time, and I found out that people were allergic to winners.
“They were like, ‘She had that, she can’t have it again. She has this, she can’t have it again.’ That’s why I did not win for the second time because they are allergic to winners. They were like, ‘She is already rich, give others a chance.’
“This second experience, I loved it. I will not even take anything away from it because it made me see people for who they truly are. It can only be God’s doing because without this second experience I would not know a lot of things. I didn’t know that it is a crime to want to win again. But anyways, I am still a winner.”
It would be recalled that Ilebaye was presented with N120 million grand prize after winning the show in October 2023.
Mercy Eke was the runner-up with Cee-C coming third.
The other finalists in order of eviction are Cross, Pere and Adekunle.
