Model and Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) All Stars winner, Ilebaye Odiniya, has replied critics insinuating that her character is not “befitting” of a winner of the reality show.
The Kogi State born-reality star clapped back at these critics during a recent Instagram live session with fans, where
she boasted that achieving such a feat is not “easy.”
Ilebaye went on to advise those trolling her on social media not to speak “when winners” like her are talking.
Speaking in Pidgin during the live session: she said: “People will say, ‘See una winner.’ If e easy, try am. If it is easy to be a winner, try it.
“Do you know what it means to be an All-Star winner? If e easy, oya, do am. E no easy jare. Please, when winners are speaking, don’t speak.”
Ilebaye walked home with the N120 million grand prize after emerging as the winner of the Big Brother Naija All Stars edition on October 1.
She beat a field comprising two former winners, Mercy Eke and WhiteMoney to achieve the feat.
However, since winning the 8th edition of the reality show, the self-styled ‘Gen Z Baddie’ has been a subject of criticism, especially for her social media behaviour and fashion sense.
