Kellyrae Wins Big Brother Naija Season 9

After ten weeks of intense drama, strategies, and games, Kingsley ‘Kellyrae’ Sule has been crowned the winner of the ninth season of Big Brother Naija, winning against Wanni Danbaki, who came close second with a 3.47% vote difference and Onyeka emerging as the second runner up at the BBNaija season 9 finale on Sunday, October 6, 2024.

The professional singer from Delta State will go home with N100M worth of prizes consisting of N60 million cash prizes and a brand-new SUV.

He won the season after amassing 35.95% of the total votes. His strategic approach earned him this win. In a season with the housemates coming in pairs, Kellyrae chose his newlywed wife, Kassia, as the other half of his duo.

This marked the first time we saw a married couple as contestants on the show. Although we had seen a married individual, Mike Edwards, come close to claiming the crown, this is the first time a married contestant has taken the ultimate prize.

Married barely seven months before the show started, many Nigerians soon projected that their stay in the BBNaija house would ruin what many termed a marriage in its early stages, even though the couple had been together for eleven years.
