BBNaija All Stars winner, Ilebaye has broken her silence amid criticism from netizens over her tweet where she posted her account details.
This comes after Ilebaye took to her X handle to drop her account details for fans’ donations.
According to her, the tweet was to raise awareness about a trending scam. She said some unscrupulous elements were trying to get money from her fans while hiding under her name.
To avoid this, the self-acclaimed “Gen-Z baddie” posted her account number on her official handle, telling all her fans who wish to give to send money there instead.

Netizens, however, misinterpreted her tweet and concluded that she was attempting to amass more money from fans despite securing N120M.
Addressing the misconceptions, Ilebaye, in a new tweet, noted that her previous tweet was only to quash fraudulent activities perpetrated by some individuals. She added that it was never her intention to solicit funds.
In her words:
“This tweet was solely to avoid people who WANT to gift falling into the hands of scammers.
We didn’t solicit for funds, we only highlighted the account we have access to.
Too many fake account numbers are circulating and we will not be held accountable for any misappropriation.”
