Ilebaye accuses Whitemoney of treating her unfairly

Legit.ng earlier reported that drama went down between Whitemoney and Ilebaye in the house, and it got netizens sharing their opinions

In the videos which made the rounds, the housemates had a task. Ilebaye said she needed inspiration and went on to play a song from the music set, increasing the volume to a level Whitemoney found uncomfortable.

This led to a heated exchange as Ilebaye broke down in what appeared to be tears as she shared her side of the story with other housemates.
