Former Big Brother Naija housemate Chizzy has reacted to the growing controversy involving fellow reality star Ilebaye Odiniya and her father.
Naija News reports that the issue began after Ilebaye’s father spoke publicly on Monday about problems involving his daughter.
During his statement, he accused her of allegedly influencing her younger siblings negatively through drug use and claimed she had abandoned family responsibilities despite her success after the reality show.
He also said she was going through a troubling period in her life.
He further addressed a viral video that showed him physically confronting Ilebaye. According to him, the incident happened during a moment of anger and frustration. He also claimed that she failed to support him during a medical trip to Dubai.
He linked part of the tension in the family to disagreements surrounding his separation from her mother and later appealed to the public to allow the family to settle the issue privately.
Reacting through his 𝕏 account, former BBNaija star Chizzy Francis challenged the father’s statement that he contributed heavily to Ilebaye’s victory during the reality show.
Chizzy stated that he personally campaigned strongly for Ilebaye during the show and worked hard to help her secure votes.
He also claimed that after the show ended, Ilebaye blocked and unfollowed him, along with many other former housemates.
Despite their personal differences, he maintained that he could not support violence or remain silent over what he described as wrong actions by her father.
He wrote: “Ilebaye’s dad lied when he said he contributed 75% to Ilebaye’s win. I literally carried that girl on my shoulders, campaigning for her as if my life depended on it. And ask me how she repaid me.
“She blocked and unfollowed me. Not just me, she unfollowed about 75% of the housemates, too. But regardless of everything, I will never support evil or stay silent when something wrong is done. What her father did was completely wrong”.
