Kellyrae has been crowned the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 9, walking away with a grand prize of N60 million, an SUV, and other rewards. He joins previous champions like Ilebaye Odiniya, last season’s All-Stars winner, in claiming the coveted title.

In a thrilling finale on Sunday, Kellyrae edged out fellow housemates Wanni, who finished as the first runner-up, and Onyeka, who came in third place.

This season, themed "No Loose Guard," premiered on July 24, 2024, and introduced 14 pairs of housemates. However, only one pair and six individual contestants advanced to the final stage, which saw the top 8 competitors—Kellyrae, Wanni, Victoria, Ozee, Sooj, Nelly, and Anita—vie for the crown.

The final showdown was highly anticipated, with Kellyrae, Victoria, and Wanni being early fan favorites to secure top three positions. The event also featured performances by popular artistes Joeboy and Qing Madi, making the grand finale a star-studded affair.
