Chizzy Francis, a former Big Brother Naija housemate, has responded to recent comments made by the father of former BBNaija winner Ilebaye about her accomplishment on the reality show.

Recall that Ilebaye’s father claimed during the show that he had a key part in mobilising support and votes for her, citing an assault-related call-out involving his daughter.

Chizzy responded to the statement on his X page, disputing the claim and insisting that he strongly supported Ilebaye throughout her term in the House.

The reality star also said that, despite his alleged efforts to encourage her, Ilebaye eventually blocked and unfollowed him after the show concluded.

“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 like my life depended on it. And ask me how she paid me back? 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,” he said.

His statement has since generated reactions online, with fans divided over the issue. While some supported Chizzy’s claims, others defended Ilebaye and her father amid the ongoing controversy.

The drama surrounding Ilebaye and her family continues to trend online as more people connected to the BBNaija star speak out on the situation.
