Couple Kellyrae and Kassia Break Barriers to Win Big Brother Naija Season 9
Big Brother Naija Season 9 has crowned its winner, Kelly Sule, popularly known as Kellyrae, who shared his joy regarding his and his wife Kassia’s remarkable journey on the reality show.
Their unique strategy led them to secure the impressive N100 million grand prize during the live finale on Sunday.
In an interview with host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Kellyrae expressed his excitement about their accomplishment, highlighting that they had shattered the longstanding perception that couples often struggle to succeed on the show.
He emphasized, “I’m thrilled that my wife and I have set a new precedent for couples on this platform.”
Kellyrae and Kassia’s approach involved keeping their marriage a secret from their fellow housemates for most of their time in the house.
They cleverly disguised their relationship by presenting themselves as close friends, or “besties,” which allowed them to build alliances and navigate the challenges of the game without the bias that might come with being a couple.
It wasn’t until just a week before the finale that they finally revealed their true relationship status to the other housemates, adding an element of surprise and drama to their story.
This strategy not only showcased their ability to adapt and think creatively but also marked a significant moment in the show’s history.
By overcoming the odds that typically hinder couples, they have set a new standard for future participants.
Kellyrae and Kassia’s journey serves as an inspiration to aspiring contestants, demonstrating that with the right tactics and teamwork, couples can indeed thrive in the competitive landscape of Big Brother Naija.

Taylor Swift Named Richest Female Musician at $1.6 Billion
Taylor Swift is now the richest female musician in the world with an estimated net worth of $1.6 billion, surpassing Rihanna. She is second overall among musicians, trailing only Jay-Z, who has a net worth of $2.5 billion. While Rihanna once held a peak net worth of $1.77 billion, Swift is on track to claim the title of the “richest female musician of all time.”
Forbes attributed Swift’s fortune largely to the success of her Eras Tour, which brought in $600 million in tour revenue and royalties. Her music catalog is valued at another $600 million, while real estate investments total $125 million. Swift also earned $100 million from Spotify streaming in 2023, driven by albums like *Midnights* and *1989 (Taylor’s Version)*. Unlike many artists, Swift’s wealth comes almost entirely from her music career, making her the first musician to achieve a 10-figure net worth without relying on business ventures.
Swift became a billionaire in October 2023 and is finishing her Eras Tour in late 2023. She recently endorsed Kamala Harris for president, which prompted a harsh response from Donald Trump, who had previously spread false claims that she supported him.

The film faced criticism for its marketing, which many felt downplayed its serious themes. Lively was also criticized for lighthearted interviews and promoting her personal brands, leading to a social media break. Baldoni had expressed interest in a sequel but later suggested Lively take on the role of director, fueling more speculation. Reynolds remains supportive, while Lively recently broke her silence by promoting her hair care brand online.
