BBNaija housemate Ilebaye has caused fans outrage after asking for donations despite recently winning the N120m grand prize for the All Stars Edition of the show.

Ilebaye recently found herself in trouble with followers who criticized her for posting the information about her bank account online immediately following her huge victory of 120 million Naira. The decision, which was made to provide clarification to prevent fans from making payments to the wrong account, instantly sparked a social media uproar.

Many of her admirers and friends have kept sending money to her account since she won. However, it appears that some individuals have chosen to exploit this by disguising themselves as ilebaye and asserting to own the specifics of her account.

Her team has come out to make it clear, advising the public to stop sending cash and gifts to any accounts that are not associated with Ilebaye’s verified social media handles.

They later shared her direct account information, which allowed for direct payment. Fans and followers were surprised by her decision to disclose her bank account information rather than a detailed plan or humanitarian endeavors.

Many supporters voiced their dissatisfaction with Ilebaye’s choice on social media.

Others questioned her motivations for disclosing such private material in public, while some attacked her. She was quoted by a specific Twitter user going by the name Emeka Umeh, who called her greedy.

Ilebaye wrote on X (formerly Twitter);
“We’ve received information about fans planning to send gifts or contributions. Please refrain from sending money to any account that isn’t officially posted on Ilebaye’s verified accounts.

For gifts, please send an email. The only accessible account is the Baye Tribe account (Providus). We won’t be responsible for any misappropriation of funds. Thank you.”
