The BBNaija Season 9 finale took an unexpected turn as Kellyrae, one half of the Double Kay pair, emerged the winner. If you remember, Kellyrae entered the house with his wife, Kassia, under the unique strategy of pretending to be just friends while in the house. The audience knew they were married, but their fellow housemates remained in the dark.
Yesterday’s win has sparked heated debates across social media, with many fans dragging Kellyrae, calling him the most undeserving winner in BBNaija history. Some believe he didn’t bring enough entertainment value to the show, and many are still in shock that he edged out fan-favorite Wanni by such a small margin.
“Wanni almost WON this thing, that was too close. WOW!!” popular platform Sabi Radio commented.
Another critic, Truth Icon, added, “Kellyrae is the most unmerited winner ever. Wanni was supposed to win. Her fans fought, but Nigerians can’t be saved.”
Kellyrae won with just 35.95% of the votes, narrowly beating Wanni by 3.47%, the smallest winning margin in BBNaija history. For many, Wanni’s near-win has left them frustrated, as they believe she deserved the title more. Despite the backlash, Kellyrae now joins the ranks of BBNaija champions, though it seems his victory will remain one of the most controversial in the show’s history.
