In the video, Ilebaye had visible swelling on her face and repeatedly pleaded with people around her to assist her. She was heard saying, “Come and open the door, I want to be going,” and later screamed, “Please come and help me.” The circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear as of the time of filing this report. It has also not been confirmed whether the matter has been reported to the police.
Online Reactions and Calls for Investigation
The video has since sparked reactions online, with fans expressing concern over her safety and demanding a proper investigation. Ilebaye and her management have yet to release an official statement on the incident.
Ilebaye’s Rise to Fame
Ilebaye rose to fame after winning the 2023 Big Brother Naija All Stars edition. She became the third female winner of the reality show after Mercy Eke and Phyna. Her victory came after a difficult season in which she faced criticism, backlash, and claims that she was playing the victim. Despite the odds, she gained strong public support and won the N120 million grand prize.
Before her All Stars win, Ilebaye had been evicted early from the BBNaija Season 7 Level Up edition. Her return and eventual victory in the All Stars season was widely seen as a major comeback. The edition featured former housemates from different seasons, with 20 contestants initially competing for the prize before six finalists made it to the grand finale.
