However, here are five things you probably didn’t know about the 20-year-old latest reality TV star:
- Ilebaye is the third female housemate to claim the BBNaija title, following in the footsteps of previous female winners – Mercy and Phyna.
- Throughout the 10-week Season 8 duration, Ilebaye weathered the backlash and bullying within the BBNaija House, where she was wrongly accused of deceit and playing the victim card.
- She’s a self-acclaimed ‘GenZ Baddie’ because of her age.
- She is from Kogi State, North-Central Nigeria.
- Ilebaye’s transition from being the third housemate evicted in BBNaija Season 7 or ‘Level Up’ Edition in 2022 to becoming the winner of All-Stars edition in 2023 is no mean achievement for her.
