He accused Ilebaye of failing to support his medical treatment while allegedly spending lavishly on friends and fellow celebrities.
However, in a fresh twist, Ilebaye’s mother, Ms Lami Calista, has now come forward with explosive claims of her own.
Speaking in a viral voice recording shared online, Ms Lami dismissed her ex-husband’s allegations and painted a completely different picture of events behind closed doors, reports Linda Ikeji Blog.
According to her, the father became upset after Ilebaye refused to hand over all her BBNaija winnings to him.
She alleged that he specifically demanded N50 million from the reality star after the show.
“When Ilebaye came out of the house, she gave the father N7 million for treatment in India. Last year again, she gave him N5 million and later added another N3 million because he said it was not enough,” she said.
The emotional mother further claimed that the young reality star regularly sends him money monthly and also takes care of her younger siblings’ school fees.
“She has spent over N30 million on him already,” she added.
Ms Lami denied allegations that her daughter uses drugs or introduced harmful substances to her younger brother.
According to her, the accusations were nothing but an attempt to destroy Ilebaye’s image publicly.
“Ilebaye is not on drugs. She has been emotionally abused for years,” she alleged.
The mother also referenced recent reports claiming the reality star suffered injuries after an altercation at her father’s residence.
She hinted that years of tension and emotional strain within the family may have finally exploded into public view.
