Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) season 9 grand finale, housemate Kellyrae has captured the hearts of viewers nationwide with a stunning music video that’s gone viral on social media. The unexpected showcase of musical talent has ignited a fresh wave of support for the contestant, potentially shaking up predictions for the ₦100 million grand prize.
BBNaija fans awoke to an unexpected treat. A music video featuring housemate Kellyrae, also known as Doublekay, began circulating on social media platforms, quickly gaining traction among viewers and music enthusiasts alike.
The video, which showcases Kellyrae’s previously hidden vocal talents, was first shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user @BBNaijaUpdates at 7:15 AM WAT. Within hours, the post had garnered thousands of likes, retweets, and comments, with fans expressing their shock and admiration for the housemate’s musical abilities.
“Wow!!! Doublekay Kellyrae can sing🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 nice one Kelly,” wrote the original poster, encapsulating the sentiment of many viewers who were taken aback by the quality of the performance.
As the video gained momentum, social media platforms buzzed with activity. Fans and fellow BBNaija viewers flocked to the comment sections to share their thoughts and reactions.
@Symply_Queenb expressed enthusiasm for Kellyrae’s post-show prospects, stating, “This is beautiful, his fans needs to hype his songs when the show is over. kelly+Kassia equals One❤️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️.”
Meanwhile, @puremaureen shared a more personal connection to the music, commenting, “I don’t know why anytime I listen to this song it takes me far and wide, and it makes me feel some type of way.
However, despite the surge in popularity, recent online polls suggest that fellow contestant Wanni still holds a lead in fan voting. A TikTok survey shared by user @BBNaijaPollster at 6 PM WAT on October 7 showed Wanni ahead of Kellyrae and six other finalists.
Entertainment analyst Oluwaseun Adebayo offered his insights on the situation: “While Kellyrae’s music video has certainly created buzz, it’s important to remember that BBNaija voting often reflects weeks of fan loyalty rather than last-minute developments. That said, in a close race, this could potentially sway undecided voters.”
As the clock ticks down to the finale, the competition between Wanni and Kellyrae has intensified. Fans of both contestants have ramped up their support campaigns, both online and offline.
Lagos-based BBNaija fan club organizer, Chioma Nwosu, shared her observations: “We’ve seen a surge in activity from both Wanni and Kellyrae’s fan bases in the past 24 hours. Viewing parties are being organized across the city, and social media is ablaze with hashtags supporting both contestants.

Kellyrae’s unexpected musical debut has not gone unnoticed by industry professionals. Lagos-based music producer, Ade Bankole, expressed his surprise and admiration: “It’s rare to see this level of raw talent emerge from a non-music focused platform. Kellyrae has serious potential, regardless of the BBNaija outcome.”
Several record labels have reportedly expressed interest in signing Kellyrae, should he not emerge as the BBNaija winner. This development adds another layer of intrigue to the contestant’s future prospects.
As the BBNaija season 9 approaches its climax, questions arise about the contestants’ futures beyond the show. Career coach Funmi Adeyemi offers her perspective: “Whether Kellyrae wins or not, this viral moment has opened doors. The challenge now will be leveraging this exposure into a sustainable career, be it in music or other entertainment sectors.
With the finale just hours away, tension in the BBNaija house is palpable. Fans across Nigeria are preparing for viewing parties, and social media platforms are buzzing with predictions and last-minute voting campaigns.
Whether Kellyrae’s musical revelation will be enough to secure the ₦100 million prize remains to be seen. However, one thing is certain: the unexpected twist has added an extra layer of excitement to an already thrilling finale.
As Nigeria holds its breath for the crowning of the BBNaija season 9 winner, Kellyrae’s journey serves as a reminder of the show’s power to uncover hidden talents and change lives overnight. Regardless of the outcome, it’s clear that this season of BBNaija will be remembered not just for its drama and competitions, but for the moment when a housemate’s secret talent captured the nation’s imagination on the eve of the grand finale.
