Kellyrae, the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 9, recently shared a powerful story about a difficult time in his life when gambling nearly caused him to lose everything, including his relationship. In an emotional interview with Chude Jideonwo, Kellyrae revealed how he lost all his money to gambling just before going on the reality show.

He admitted that although he had some savings, his desire for more led him to gamble, and soon he found himself broke. The experience left him feeling deeply depressed, and he struggled with guilt, especially because he felt he wasn’t able to provide for his girlfriend, Kassia, the way he wanted to.

During this challenging time, Kassia stayed by his side. Kellyrae even considered breaking up with her, feeling unworthy of her support. He told her that he didn’t think he could care for her anymore due to his own feelings of failure and guilt.

Thankfully, Kassia remained supportive, and Kellyrae was able to work through his emotions. His story is a reminder of how financial struggles can affect mental health and relationships, but also how important it is to have someone who believes in you during tough times.
