Former Big Brother Naija star, Adekunle Olopade, has revealed why Ilebaye’s victory in the All-Stars edition of the show meant so much to him.

During a recent media chat with his colleagues Kellyrae, Jeff, and Topher, Adekunle explained that his support for Ilebaye was deeply personal. He admitted feeling partly responsible for her early eviction during the “Level Up” season the previous year. Supporting her win in the All-Stars edition was his way of making up for what happened.

Adekunle’s story shows how experiences in the BBNaija house can shape relationships and lead to personal growth. His open support for Ilebaye is a reminder of the bonds housemates share even after the show ends.

Adekunle said, “Ilebaye’s win in All Stars is personal to me. I’m happy that she won. And I will tell you why. In ‘Level Up’ I was head of house and our season was different; the head of house nominate the housemates for eviction. Ilebaye was part of the people that I mentioned. And she left the third week.

“When we left the house, we were trapped in the bus because fans wanted to greet us. Then Baye was standing by the gate and people were walking pass her, this was someone who was with us on the show; I felt guilt because I was the one who put her up eviction and she left. So when we came back for All-Stars and I saw her, I was happy and then she won.”
