Ilebaye Precious Odiniya, also known as Ilebaye, the Big Brother All Stars winner, has admitted that she is trying to cope with her newfound celebrity.
She stated that she does not know how to deal with the pressure that comes with it, but she did state that she made a decision to mentally prepare herself before returning to the BBNaija home.
The 22-year-old reality TV actress opened up to The Punch during an interview, saying that fame has given her a family and numerous chances.
“I don’t really know how to handle the pressure that comes with fame,” Ilebaye stated. Before entering the BBN house, I told myself that I needed to be mentally ready for anything that would come up.
“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.”
“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.”
“Regarding the notion held by some people that I am from a rich home but was behaving as if I were from a modest background in the show, I will say that I was not being humble,” the self-styled Gen Z baddie said. I was simply being myself around the house.”
She also discussed her favorite memories from the Big Brother Naija house, which included the Saturday parties and the eventual winner.
“My most memorable moments on the show include when I won the grand prize, doing the arena tasks, and talking to Big Brother. Those were literally the best things, and I enjoyed them. Also, the Saturday night parties, meeting new people, and trying to socialise, were memorable moments for me.”
