BBNaija All-Star Winner Ilebaye Faces Backlash for Lying About Her Age to Audition for BBNaija

Fans have erupted online after BBNaija All-Star winner Ilebaye reportedly lied about her age to qualify for the auditions.

Ilebaye shared her ID card on her Instagram story, seemingly admitting that she could lie about her age if she wanted to.

The ID card revealed that she gave birth in 2004, which means that during her audition, she was only 18 years old—well below the standard minimum age of 21 for BBNaija contestants. This discrepancy sparked outrage among fans, who accused her of deliberately misrepresenting her age to secure a spot on the reality show.

Social media erupted with mixed reactions. While some fans defended her, arguing that age shouldn’t disqualify talent, many others slammed her for bending the rules, calling her actions misleading and unfair to other contestants. The controversy has reignited discussions about transparency and integrity in reality TV casting processes.

Despite the backlash, Ilebaye appears unfazed, prompting even more online debates about accountability and fairness in the entertainment industry.

Whether or not she should have lied, the situation has captivated fans and highlighted how even small discrepancies in reality show rules can spark major controversies.
