In a recent development for the Big Brother Naija Season 9 winner Kellyrae, has opened up about the dissatisfaction his wife Kassia’s family felt about choices their management made during the competition.
The pair, who went by the nickname DoubleKay, had particular difficulties when Biggie, the host of the show, abruptly ended the partnership and made them compete as individuals.
Leading up to the show’s conclusion, management had to make tough choices regarding which contestant to support. Ultimately, they chose to back Kellyrae, prompting a mix of reactions within both the house and their families.
Despite this backing, Kassia revealed in a post-eviction interview that while she respects the management’s decision, her family feels uneasy about her husband’s triumph over her within the reality competition.
Kassia’s Family Discontent Kassia, who has been married to Kellyrae for eight months after a decade-long relationship, acknowledged the strain the management decision has caused. In her interview, she reiterated that the management’s choice was ultimately based on strategy and competition, but the feelings of her family cannot be ignored.
“They haven’t reacted positively to the decision to support Kellyrae,” she admitted. This situation has cast a shadow over an otherwise triumphant moment for the couple, who were celebrated for their shared journey in the Big Brother house.
The divide within Kassia’s family highlights the emotional complexities that often accompany competitive reality shows, where personal relationships and public perception can clash.
Kellyrae’s Response to the Controversy In an exclusive interview with Naija FM in Lagos, Kellyrae addressed the concerns raised by his in-laws.
When asked about their disappointment, he defended the management’s decision, stating, “Yeah, they are not happy.
But they should understand that she is now married.” His comments reflect the understanding that Kassia’s commitment to him should take precedence over family opinions.
Even while there may still be resentment, Kellyrae and Kassia appear committed to overcoming the difficulties brought on by their well-publicized victory and the ensuing family dynamics.
Fans of DoubleKay will surely be keeping a close eye on them going ahead to see how their relationship and post-show careers develop.
Beyond just being entertaining, this reality show success highlights the delicate balancing act that comes with celebrity, family, and public opinion pressure.
It’s still evident that DoubleKay’s journey is only getting started.
