Big Brother Naija Season 9 winner Kellyrae has voiced his frustration over the constant financial requests from friends and family following his victory.
In a candid interview with media personality Hero Daniels, the reality star revealed that ever since he disclosed online that he gifted his wife, Kassia, N55 million from his prize money, he has been inundated with pleas for financial assistance.
“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 lamented.
He urged those seeking financial favors to give him some space to adjust to his newfound wealth.
“I want 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 walked away from the Big Brother Naija house with a cash prize of N60 million and a brand-new car valued at N40 million.
Despite his winnings, he emphasized the importance of managing his finances wisely amidst growing expectations from his inner circle.
