Model and Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) All Stars winner, Ilebaye Odiniya, has denied allegations that her numerous altercations with fellow housemates during the reality show were part of her strategy to win the show.
The Kogi State-born reality star walked away with the show’s N120 million grand prize on Sunday night after garnering 30.08% of votes cast by fans to beat other contestants.
She edged out five other finalists – Mercy, Adekunle, CeeC, Cross and Pere – to clinch the coveted status of the winner of this year’s edition.

However, Ilebaye’s victory has since generated a lot of controversies on social media with a lot of fans of the show and other netizens suggesting that her altercations with almost all her colleagues while in the house were part of her plans to win.
Speaking on the issue during her latest interview with the show host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Ilebaye disagreed with the assertion.
According to the 22-year-old, majority of her fellow housemates seemed to pick on her for a reason she does not know.
She said: “I didn’t even have any strategy in the house. I just feel like I was just having fun. Some housemates have certain beef with me that I didn’t really get.
“So, I might do something and they might feel like I’m purposely coming to annoy them even though to me, I am not.”
