“You’re Not Wise If You Think You Deserved the Prize More” – Kellyrae Says
Big Brother Naija Season 8 winner, Kellyrae, has dismissed claims that he didn’t deserve the N100 million grand prize, calling out critics for lacking wisdom.
The reality star addressed the ongoing controversy during a podcast hosted by fellow housemate, Adekunle Olopade.
Some fans and former contestants, including Shaun, have argued that Kellyrae’s contributions on the show were insufficient to warrant his win.
However, Kellyrae responded firmly, stating that personal disagreements should not overshadow merit.
He shared an example involving Onyeka, who isn’t on good terms with his wife, Kassia, but still acknowledges her undeniable talent.
“Just because we’re not on good terms doesn’t mean I should discredit her.
Talent should always be recognized,” Kellyrae explained.
He also questioned the reasoning of his critics, noting that feeling more deserving of the prize than others without valid grounds reflects poor judgment.
“If you think you were worthier of the money, then you’re not being wise,” he said.

Nigerian singer Speed Darlington speaks with regret as he reflects on his life. He shared that he is disappointed in himself for still being single at his age and not having any children.
The singer said “Up till now, I’m not married and I don’t have any children. All I have to show is an American passport. I want more than American papers—I want a family and respect.”
Nigerian singer Tems reacts to comments linking her with Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye.
During a recent interview, the singer spoke about the African music movement.
“It’s amazing, you know, coming from Nigeria. I’m just really happy where African music is going right now. Everybody’s popping off and everybody’s shining. So I’m just happy to be a part of that.”
She was then asked if she knew the goalkeeper, to which she replied “Do I know him personally? “I think I do. No, no, no, no, no. I don’t.”
The host then teased her, saying “We should shoot our shot.”
