Former Big Brother Naija contestant Adekunle Olopade shared why Ilebaye’s victory in the All-Stars edition was significant to him. He explained that it felt personal because he played a part in Ilebaye’s early elimination from the previous year’s ‘Level Up’ edition. He conveyed this during a recent media discussion with fellow contestants Kellyrae, Jeff, and Topher, stating, “Ilebaye’s win in All Stars is personal to me.” I’m glad she won. And I will explain the reason. In ‘Level Up,’ I served as the head of house, and our season had a unique twist: the head of house was responsible for nominating housemates for eviction. Ilebaye was among the individuals I referred to. She departed during the third week. “When we exited the house, we got stuck on the bus because fans wanted to say hello.” Baye stood by the gate as people walked past her; she had been part of our show. I felt guilty because I was the one who nominated her for eviction, which led to her departure. When we returned for All-Stars and I saw her, I felt joyful, and then she won.
