BBNaija season 9 champion Kellyrae has announced his intention to entrust his entire prize money to his wife, Kassia. The reality TV star’s decision, revealed during a recent Arise TV interview, has sparked admiration and discussion among fans and viewers alike.
Kellyrae’s path to BBNaija stardom was not without its challenges. The newly crowned winner disclosed that his successful run on the show came after two previous failed audition attempts.
“It was a journey of persistence,” Kellyrae shared, his voice filled with emotion. “I had to believe in myself, even when the doors seemed closed.”
His third audition, which took place in early 2024, finally proved successful, leading to his participation and ultimate victory in the show’s ninth season on Sunday, October 6th.
One of the most striking aspects of Kellyrae’s BBNaija experience was the unwavering support of his wife, Kassia. The reality star revealed that it was he who initially proposed the idea of participating in the show to his spouse.
“I was nervous about bringing it up,” Kellyrae admitted. “But Kassia’s support was immediate and unconditional. She believed in me from the start.”
This support seems to have fueled Kellyrae’s decision to entrust the entirety of his prize money to Kassia once it’s awarded.
During the interview, Kellyrae also took the opportunity to address public speculation about his financial plans. He clarified that his previous statement about giving his wife N55M was made in jest.
“I want to be clear,” Kellyrae stated firmly. My intention is to give all of the prize money to Kassia. She’s not just my wife; she’s my partner and my secretary. Any funds I need, I’ll consult with her.”
The announcement has been met with an outpouring of support from fans and fellow celebrities. Social media platforms have been abuzz with reactions to Kellyrae’s decision.
One Twitter user, @thompson_taiwo, commented, “Only those who married good wives will understand his position.
Another supporter, @queensusz, wrote, “I love this couple. I’m glad they won. Family won, God won, institution of God won. This is to show how powerful the institution of Marriage is.
Kellyrae and Kassia’s story serves as a powerful reminder of the strength found in marital partnership. Their journey through BBNaija, from the initial decision to participate to the management of the prize money, showcases a level of trust and cooperation that has resonated with many.
As Kellyrae prepares to receive his prize, his decision stands as a testament to the power of mutual support and shared success in relationships.
