It was gathered by Hobnob News that a N120k charge for makeup has forced the winner of Big Brother Naija All-Stars, Ilebaye Odinaya, to cry out about facing escalated prices from vendors following the N120 million she won from the reality show.
The reality TV star took to the microblogging platform X to express her frustration after being charged N120,000 for a makeup session.
In a now-deleted tweet, Ilebaye revealed the hefty price tag attached to the makeup service and linked it to her recent financial windfall.
The post stated, “Because I win 120 million, person charge me 120k for make-up.”

The discontent expressed by Odinaya follows her previous denial of speculations suggesting her Big Brother Naija win was a result of sympathy votes. In October 2023, she emphatically rejected claims insinuating that her victory was based on pity. Now, her concerns about inflated prices highlight the complexities winners navigate in the aftermath of a significant cash prize and heightened fame.
What Ilebaye posted about the charge for her makeup raises broader questions beyond the price she is now charged as it borders on financial and social implications of sudden fame and wealth, especially within the context of reality TV competitions.
