Kellyrae was crowned the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 9 on Sunday, taking home the grand prize of N60 million, an SUV, and other rewards. He edged out fellow housemates Wanni, the runner-up, and Onyeka, who finished in third place.
Kellyrae now joins past winners like Ilebaye Odiniya, last season’s All-Stars champion, in claiming the coveted prize.
This season, themed “No Loose Guard,” premiered on July 24, 2024, with 14 pairs of housemates. Only one pair and six individual contestants advanced to the final, including Victoria, Ozee, Sooj, Nelly, and Anita.
Kellyrae, Victoria, and Wanni were favorites to make the top three, and the finale was a star-studded event featuring performances by popular artists Joeboy and Qing Madi.
