Famous Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has expressed admiration for the remarkable journey of Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) All Stars winner, Ilebaye Odiniya, also known as Ilebaye.
News About Nigeria reports that Ilebaye, a 22-year-old model from Kogi State, emerged as the winner of the N120 million grand prize during the grand finale of the Big Brother Naija All-Stars edition.
She secured victory with 30.8% of the total votes, defeating her closest rival, Mercy Eke, who received 23.48% of the votes.
Ilebaye’s win was particularly surprising as she had been evicted after just three weeks during her initial appearance on the show in the ‘Level Up’ 2022 season.
In the All-Stars season, she was considered an underdog.
Davido, celebrating Baye’s success, shared his thoughts on the achievement via his X handle. According to him, he loves a success story.
“Ilebaye… I love a success story!” he tweeted.
In response, Ilebaye expressed her gratitude with a “Thank you OBO” message in the comments section.

Notably, at the start of the Big Brother Naija All Stars season, Davido had initially voiced support for Kiddwaya and Neo Energy to win the grand prize, though neither of them made it to the finals.
Ilebaye’s triumph comes with a dazzling array of prizes, including a whopping N120 million in cash, a luxurious weekend getaway for two, and a brand-new SUV, along with several other exciting rewards.
CeeC, who was the runner-up of the third season Double Wahala in 2018, secured the third position.
Adekunle Olopade emerged as the third runner-up while Pere Egbi and Cross Okonkwo landed the titles of fourth and fifth runners-up, respectively.
