BBN Season 9 winner Kellyrae
Big Brother Naija Season 9 winner Kellyrae has expressed frustration over the overwhelming requests for financial assistance from family and friends following his recent success.
The reality star mentioned that after he publicly stated that he had given N55 million from his prize money to his wife, Kassia, the calls for financial help have not stopped.
In a recent interview with media personality Hero Daniels, Kellyrae shared his plight, pleading with those seeking financial favours to give him time to settle down and manage his winnings.
“I was receiving calls from people close to us after I said I gave Kassia N55 million, and they were asking for their own share of my prize money,” Kellyrae explained.
He added, “I will like to say to everyone, I’m not a rich man yet, please. The money is big, but things are expensive. Even if it’s egg I want to buy, how many crates of eggs will I buy? Please allow a brother to settle.”
Kellyrae emerged as the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 9, walking away with a grand prize of N60 million and a brand new car worth N40 million. (Nigerian Tribune)
