Kellyrae and Kassia’s Controversial Victory
In a recent twist to the Big Brother Naija Season 9 saga, winner Kellyrae has spoken out regarding the unhappiness expressed by his wife Kassia’s family over decisions made by their management during the competition.
The couple, affectionately dubbed DoubleKay, faced unique challenges when their partnership was abruptly broken by the show’s host, Biggie, forcing them to compete as individuals.
Leading up to the show’s conclusion, management had to make tough choices regarding which contestant to support. Ultimately, they chose to back Kellyrae, prompting a mix of reactions within both the house and their families.

Despite this backing, Kassia revealed in a post-eviction interview that while she respects the management’s decision, her family feels uneasy about her husband’s triumph over her within the reality competition.
Kassia’s Family Discontent
Kassia, who has been married to Kellyrae for eight months after a decade-long relationship, acknowledged the strain the management decision has caused.
In her interview, she reiterated that the management’s choice was ultimately based on strategy and competition, but the feelings of her family cannot be ignored. “They haven’t reacted positively to the decision to support Kellyrae,” she admitted.
This situation has cast a shadow over an otherwise triumphant moment for the couple, who were celebrated for their shared journey in the Big Brother house.
The divide within Kassia’s family highlights the emotional complexities that often accompany competitive reality shows, where personal relationships and public perception can clash.
Kellyrae’s Response to the Controversy
In an exclusive interview with Naija FM in Lagos, Kellyrae addressed the concerns raised by his in-laws. When asked about their disappointment, he defended the management’s decision, stating, “Yeah, they are not happy. But they should understand that she is now married.” His comments reflect the understanding that Kassia’s commitment to him should take precedence over family opinions.
While tensions may linger, both Kellyrae and Kassia seem determined to navigate the challenges posed by their high-profile win and the accompanying family dynamics.
As they move forward, fans of DoubleKay will undoubtedly be watching closely to see how both their relationship and post-show careers unfold.
The implications of this reality show victory go beyond entertainment, highlighting the balancing act that comes with fame, family, and the pressure of public opinion. It remains clear that for DoubleKay, the journey is just beginning.
