Former BBNaija star, Ilebaye, stirred up online conversations when a fan inquired about her connection with “daddy” Pere Egbi. During their time in the Big Brother house, Ilebaye and Pere had a close relationship, with Ilebaye referring to him as her “godfather” due to his support.
However, their relationship took a hit when a clip aired in which Pere and other male housemates were seen planning to provoke Ilebaye to earn her third strike and potential disqualification. This caused a strain in their connection.
A curious fan asked Ilebaye about her relationship with Pere on her social media. In response, she made it clear, stating, “I only have one father! That’s my dad. Odiniya Emmanuel.” This response appeared to clarify any confusion about her father figure, distancing herself from any connection with Pere.
