Season 8 winner of the Big Brother Naija reality show, Ilebaye Odiniya, has made headlines by declaring her status as one of Nigeria’s youngest multi-billionaires.

In a recent interview, she expressed gratitude to God for her journey from the show to stardom, acknowledging it as a valuable privilege.

Discussing her fashion preferences, Ilebaye mentioned being inspired by Gen Z Baddie and considers herself her own fashion icon.

She said “My outfit is inspired by Gen Z Baddie. I am my own fashion icon. It feels so good to be one of the youngest multi-billionaires and winning the All Stars.

“I am grateful to God for using Big Brother to make me the Star that I am. It’s a really good privilege.”

Following her triumph in the All-Star edition of the reality show last October, Ilebaye recently banked N120 million.

In a recent Instagram live interaction with fans, she officially confirmed the receipt of her prize money.

This revelation coincided with accusations made by Phyna, the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 7, who criticized the organizers, claiming she has not been awarded the N100 million prize from the 2022 show.

Ilebaye said, “I have received my [BBNaija prize] money. I haven’t even touched tiny part of it. My money haven’t finished. I haven’t touched my prize money. And this is a fact.”

At the Big Brother All Stars prize presentation ceremony, notable figures including Oluwakemi Adedeji, Marketing Communications Manager at HFM; Dr. Busola Tejumola, Executive Head of Content & West Africa Channels at MultiChoice West Africa; Chinedu Oparaku, Director of Product Marketing at Moniepoint, joined winner Ilebaye Odiniya in attendance.

Ilebaye, upon receiving the prize, conveyed heartfelt appreciation to her fans, the organizers, and her fellow housemates.

Nigerian music stars Kizz Daniel and Tekno were caught in a public feud after allegations surfaced on social media claiming that Kizz Daniel had been sharing profits from their hit song “Buga” with Tekno.

The controversy stemmed from a post by an undisclosed account alleging statements made by Tekno in an interview regarding his collaboration with Kizz Daniel.

The post, dated April 14, read, “I got on Kizz Daniel’s Buga with no sort of legal agreement. I wasn’t expecting anything from him. Wanted to be silent about this but I think some levels of gratitude deserve to be spoken of.”

“Do y’all know Kizz Daniel sends me 50% of every revenue he generates from that song? After his buga tour he sent me close to a billion naira and I was already shocked enough by that move.

“He didn’t end just there. Every month, I receive millions as my own share of the revenue generated by Buga on streaming platforms… Kizz is a great guy I can’t lie” ~ Tekno Reveals…”

In response to the post on the same day, Tekno swiftly refuted the claims, stating, “Him money no reach. anybody wey put out that fake interview, thunder fire your mama…”

However, nearly two weeks later, on Monday, Kizz Daniel responded to Tekno’s denial with a sarcastic retort, saying, “Dem mention money, you sef dey talk. Spewing shit like an*s. See ekuke way we rescue with BUGA !! Oloribu omo ale.”

Reacting to Kizz Daniel’s remark, Tekno fired back, “Hope you are trending now fool! Careful o, breeze blow, fowl nyash dey open. I’m not the one to be played with before I Kattwilliams yours Ass #insecurenarcissist.”

According to BIZTELLERS, this unfolding drama coincides with an ongoing online feud between music icons Wizkid, whose real name is Ayodeji Balogun, and Davido, also known as David Adedeji, which escalated Monday night.

Wizkid had previously made a subtle jab at Davido. In response to a fan’s inquiry on X for new music, Wizkid shared a leaked video purportedly showing Davido in a vulnerable moment, allegedly pleading with a female associate.

Additionally, the Grammy award-winning artist dismissed Don Jazzy, a highly successful music producer and label owner, labeling him merely as an ‘influencer’.

The public feud between these two music titans has reverberated throughout the Nigerian entertainment sphere and beyond, eliciting reactions from fans and observers alike, who have been quick to comment and pledge support for their preferred artist.

Nigerian music sensation, Wizkid has found himself in hot water after throwing shade at fellow artists Davido and Don Jazzy on social media.

Big Brother Naija star, Doyinsola Anuoluwapo David, also known as Doyin, took to Instagram to slam Wizkid for “chasing clout” instead of focusing on releasing music.

She particularly criticised him for disrespecting Don Jazzy, referring to the renowned producer as the “JayZ of the Nigerian music industry.” Doyin’s sentiments were echoed by reality TV star Tacha, who warned Wizkid that any disrespect towards Don Jazzy would not be tolerated.

Tacha emphasised Don Jazzy’s significant contributions to the Nigerian music industry, stating that without him, half of Afrobeats wouldn’t exist.

In response to Wizkid’s shade, Don Jazzy reportedly unfollowed him on Instagram.

The incident has sparked debate within the Nigerian entertainment industry, highlighting the importance of mutual respect among artists.
