Big Brother Naija

The singer was one of the contestants on the 2017 edition of the Big Brother Naija reality television show. According to her confession, she had to run away from home to become a part of the show. Her father was a pastor at the time and was protective and worried about the future of the family.

Debie Rise and Bassey (another contestant on the show) were added to the Big Brother Naija house in what was somewhat of a twist, as it was expected that two housemates would leave the show, and instead, two more were added.

Nigerian Idol

The singer was also the First Runner Up on the popular Nigerian singing contest - Nigeria Idol in 2013.

The competition earned her fans from all over Nigeria. Her exciting and melodic voice was idolized by Nigerians.

It was not just her talent that helped her become successful on the show. Even organizers of the event had to admit that Nigerians did not just vote for her for her music. They praised her personality. She was a fantastic contestant that could combine everything! Rap, singing, dancing, playing guitar, witty stand-up – she was good at it all.

Sadly, Debie Rise boyfriend at the time smashed the car the singer won at the reality TV show. In a chat with Saturday Beats, Debie revealed:

“After having a minor accident with the new car I won from the show, a jealous lover smashed the windscreen so badly and as a result it was a whole new type of challenge, trying to get it fixed, bringing the person to book… but I overcame.”

Her daddy issues

Rise had to leave home and her protective father to follow her dreams. In one of her interviews after Big Brother Naija, she confessed that she was worried. Her father was religious and had other plans for a daughter.

As Debie confessed on the interview, she did not regret her decision to leave home. She was hoping to make her father proud one day.

At a certain point of the BBNaija show, housemates were visited by their parents – her dad didn't come to visit her. It hit her hard that day. After the show was over, she went back home to speak to her father. She asked him:

"Did I make you proud?”

His immediate response was:

“I love you, my daughter!”

Controversies

In an Instagram post, Debie criticized the career and performance style of Efe (a fellow BBNaija contestant). She described him as someone with a “dead career in rapping.”

After that, Efe replied to her that he was sorry that she detests his music. He also warned her that more music from him was coming and advised her to close her ears.

Fans from both sides were angry about Rise's post. She later made a video to apologize to fans of Efe. She noted that she had no connection with the post and didn't write those words. She said,

“I take responsibility for that mistake. It wasn’t me and I am sorry. Efe Nation guys I did not do that. Efe God bless you on your music. We take no offence on the comments from the Efe Nation. We are lovers and not fighters,” she said. Earlier Debbie Rise was said to have made a post criticising Efe’s ability to make good music. “This is an already dead career in rapping and even music, To which Efe replied, “The problem be say na music I go do, sorry if e dey pain you. If I drop song just close your ear. Because more songs go comot.”

However, when she said “I take responsibility for that mistake,” fans of Efe and Efe himself had to doubt her words. Why was it her mistake, if she didn't write it?

Efe refused to accept her apology. It should be mentioned that these two housemates did not get along at all from the very beginning. In an interview with Cool FM, Efe suggested that they couldn't be friends or anything else. His said he was more attracted to character than beauty.
