I haven’t touched my N120m prize money – BBNaija winner, Ilebaye

Ilebaye Odiniya has revealed that she is yet to spend a dime from the N120 million grand prize she received for winning the Big Brother Naija ‘All Stars’.

The happy-go-lucky reality TV star made this known via her Snapchat account while having an interactive session with fans.

A follower implied that people perceive Ilebaye as broke amongst her colleagues because she does not flaunt lavish lifestyle on social media as much as others.

In reaction, the Kogi-born model boasted that her name and the word ‘broke’ would never be in the same circle because brokenness is not her portion.

The 23-year-old further expressed gratitude to the BBNaija platform for making her get her own money, emphasising that because she does not post luxury items does not mean she doesn’t have.

Ilebaye wrote; “Lmaoo! When it comes to being broke, don’t add Ilebaye’s name to that circle girl! lol, brokenness isn’t my portion and I thank God for using Big Brother to have my own money. Because I don’t post doesn’t mean I don’t have.

If I dey post, una for die of hate. I’m saving you guys from unnecessary High BP. I never even touch that 120M yet. Lmao you think it’s by posting designers that make you rich”.
