Reflecting on the pressure that comes with fame, Ilebaye expresses, “I don’t really know how to handle the pressure that comes with fame. Before I went into the BBN house, I told myself that I had to be mentally ready for everything that would come.”

She adds, “I just have to keep things on the low and be able to adapt to whatever comes my way. Besides, I see anything that comes my way as what is expected. It is left for me to overlook things, including clashes and backbiting, and just focus on my future.”

Regarding the positive aspects of fame, Ilebaye remarks, “Fame has done some things for me. It has given me a family; I have a lot of fans. There are many people who love me for who I am. It has brought me good luck and so many opportunities. It has basically made me the star I am today.”

Addressing perceptions about her background, particularly the idea that she may have pretended to be from a humble upbringing, the self-styled Gen Z baddie clarifies, “Regarding the notion held by some people that I am from a rich home but was behaving as if I was from a modest background in the show, I will say that I was not being humble. I was just being myself in the house; that’s all.”
