Ilebaye, a former Level Up star and BBNaija All Stars housemate, has been given two strikes on the show for breaking several Big Brother regulations.
On Sunday, August 6, 2023, Big Brother handed down the penalty after screening several clips of Ilebaye blatantly flouting the rules in front of the housemates and viewers.
Ilebaye broke down in tears after the customary weekend party on Saturday night due to her abrupt breakup with Doyin, a Level Up coworker and confidante. The latter had met the Kogi state native earlier in the day to discuss a quarrel with an unknown flatmate. Doyin was wounded since she became embroiled in the majority of Ilebaye's feuds although she said she didn't want to become involved.
The so-called "Gen-Z baddie" didn't think it would be enough for her to lose her friend, especially because she thought the other women had been purposely attempting to make her look bad. Doyin, on the other hand, made the decision to vent to Princess, Mercy Eke, and Ceec about Ilebaye's actions. They were all in agreement that Ilebaye's actions were strategic, and they were happy that Doyin had finally realized this.
Ilebaye accused them of attempting to sabotage her friendship after noticing the conversation with Doyin. She was then informed of all they had been talking about, and Ceec pointed out her fault. This resulted in a violent argument that was inflamed by epithets, and Ilebaye eventually yanked Ceec's hair, almost getting into a fight. Princess joined in to slam her as the other ladies continued to encourage her. Ilebaye briefly grabbed her by the neck when Doyin ultimately came to tell her that she would regret her deeds.
Ilebaye had never received a strike from Big Brother before her two strikes on Sunday. The other participants in the post-party drama, CeeC and Doyin, also received punishments from Big Brother. The Monday HOH, Black Envelope, and Pardon Me Please games did not count CeeC and Doyin as contestants.
Any housemate who receives three strikes instantly becomes disqualified and must leave the house, according to the Big Brother Naija rule. Ilebaye is skating on thin ice in the Big Brother house, and any additional strikes would result in an immediate elimination.
