Big Brother Naija season 9 winner Kellyrae has addressed the controversy surrounding his altercation with wife Kassia in the house. Kellyrae explained that his reaction to Kassia touching fellow housemate Fairme’s nipples was motivated by protectiveness, not jealousy.
In an interview with Pulse, Kellyrae stated, “I know Kassia can be playful, and I didn’t want anyone to misunderstand her motives… I wouldn’t want a situation where she’d have a fight with a guy, and I couldn’t stand it.”
Kellyrae emphasized that his concern was to prevent potential conflict between Kassia and Fairme. “That didn’t come out of jealousy at all,” he added.
The altercation occurred on August 20, 2024, after Kellyrae confronted Kassia about the incident, leading to a heated exchange.
