Ilebaye’s Mum Breaks Silence on Viral Audio, Explains the Real Truth Behind the Recording

• The mother of BBN star Ilebaye has addressed a viral audio recording where she was heard disowning and abandoning her famous daughter
• Ms Lami Calista shared emotional details about long-standing family issues and explained why she temporarily left home to avoid creating more tension
• Mixed reactions followed online as some Nigerians questioned the explanation, while others sympathised with Ilebaye over the family struggles she reportedly faced growing up

The mother of former Big Brother Naija star, Ilebaye Precious Odiniya, has spoken out after a viral audio clip suggested she had disowned her daughter.

The recording, which quickly spread online, shocked many Nigerians and sparked criticism against Ilebaye, with some accusing her of being a source of family problems.

In a new video circulating on social media, Ilebaye’s mother, Ms Lami Calista, clarified that the audio was not real but something she and her daughter planned together.

She explained that Ilebaye’s father often accused the reality star of siding with her mother whenever there were disagreements, and this made him feel isolated.

To ease the tension, Ilebaye's mom said she and the reality star created the recording to make it look like mother and daughter had fallen apart.

Ms Lami Calista revealed that she even moved out of the house to strengthen the impression, hoping it would stop her husband from turning his back on Ilebaye.

She emphasised that the recording was never meant to be taken as the truth but only as a way to protect her daughter from further blame.

“I can never abandon my daughter, never. I can never disown her. I carried her in my womb for nine months. I can never abandon her. Her father always blames and accuses her of being the reason why I left. Ilebaye even came to me in the village to beg me to return so that her father can stop blaming her. I didn’t want to put her in trouble; that was why we planned the audio. Ilebaye has been through a lot since she was 12 because of the issue between her father and me.”
