Below is how fans voted in the BBNaija 8th Edition “All Stars” finale

Biography

Ilebaye is a 22-year-old model and businesswoman who refers to herself as unique, nice, fun to be with, and playful.

Age

Ilebaye was born in 2001. She is currently 22 years old as of 2023.

Tribe

The BBNaija’s ex-housemate is from the Igala tribe in Lokoja, Kogi state.

Although her accent suggests a Ghanaian heritage, Ilebaye is from the Ebira tribe of Nigeria, whose origins can be traced back to Okpo, in the Olamaboro Local Government Area.

According to some reports, she got her Ghanaian accent from her secondary school English teacher, who was Ghanaian.

Family

For this Big Brother Naija Level Up alumnus, making her first million remains her life’s highlight, while losing her brother marked her lowest point in life.

Religion

Ilebaye is a product of a Christian family home.

Education

After completing her secondary school education and earning the SSCE, Ilebaye bagged a Criminology and Security Studies degree from Salem University in Lokoja.

Relationship

Prior to entering Big Brother’s house for the 8th Edition (“All Stars”) of the reality show, Ilebaye noted she is currently single and ready to have fun.

Career

Ilebaye first came into the limelight in 2022 when she was the first female housemate called into Big Brother’s house for the “Level Up” edition of the show.

Her stay in the competition was, however, short-lived, as she was evicted in no time.

She, however, returned for the 2023 edition of the show tagged “All Stars” featuring previous winners Mercy Eke and Whitemoney.

The Gen Z baddie, however, survived eviction and was featured in the finale, after which she was announced by Ebuka Uchendu, the show presenter, as the winner of the season.

Net worth

The organizers of BBNaija announced the winner of the 8th edition of the show won by Ilebaye will be going home with N120 million cash prize as well as other prizes.

Therefore, it is safe to estimate Ilebaye’s net worth to be over N120 million, considering the other prizes and money won from house games during the competition.

Hobbies

Partying, shopping, swimming and sleeping.

Controversy

Some netizens believed Ilebaye’s winning the show was as a result of her playing the victim card whenever she is in a fight or clash with other housemates.

Others however, were of the opinion that she was being intentionally bullied by other housemates who are older and have more fans than her prior to the start of the competition.
