In a new development, Uriel took to Ilebaye’s defence on her social media page. On her Instagram story, she shared a video where she made a case for Baye.
According to Uriel, people need to stop saying Ilebaye won by using pity. She noted that there is no one way to win a game show and some people win by forming ships, others by being powerful and more. Explaining further, she said it doesn’t really matter how a person wins a game show.
In her words:
“I’m sorry to say this, can we just let this narrative go that Baye won out of pity? Let me ask you, is there a remedy or a type of way to win a show? A game show? Some people win by forming ships, some people win because they are looked upon as being powerful, some people win because certain things were done to them and they reacted. Does it really matter how a person won a game? It is a game. Yes she said that she wants to build her Gen Z empire, that could be so many different things but that is her brand, allow the girl to breathe abeg!”

They started to bully her from week 2 and she made proper use of it! That’s a smart move! When life gives you lemons, you make lemonades out of it! The girl is smart! Everyone went in their with winning mindset, no one is more deserving than the other! Plus Strategy is vision, a man without vision is planning to fail .”
