Bisina SomtoIn the whole of BBNaija franchise, Season 8 of the All Stars edition stood out as the most captivating, controversial, and intriguing chapter yet.
Over the course of 10 intense weeks, 24 housemates vied for the prestigious grand prize of ₦120 million. As the curtains finally draw to a close, we reflect on the moments that ignited debates, discussions, and social media storms during this unforgettable season.
Physical Altercation between Housemates
One of the most shocking and controversial moments of the season was the physical altercation between two prominent housemates, Ilebaye and Cee-C. Their fiery clash sent shockwaves both inside and outside the house.
During a heated argument, Ilebaye was seen making brief violent contact with Cee-C and Doyin, sparking immediate chaos and widespread debates about potential disqualifications due to the house rules against physical violence. While Ilebaye received a double strike as a consequence, the incident remained a constant topic of discussion among both housemates and viewers.
Ike’s Vandalism Attack
In a fit of anger stemming from Ilebaye’s negative attitude, Ike resorted to an unusual act of vengeance by secretly trashing her clothing in the bathroom. His identity remained a mystery to the other All Stars, leaving them perplexed until Big Brother intervened.
Though the situation didn’t escalate into a direct confrontation between Ike and Ilebaye, it did stir up chaos, particularly between Doyin and Venita, as emotions ran high.

Parrot’s Constant Rain of Chaos
The unassuming parrot emerged as an unexpected source of turmoil in the house. Housemates and viewers alike were astounded when the parrot began relaying hidden conversations. Chaos invariably followed as the parrot spilled secrets, leading to explosive altercations between housemates.
The parrot’s utterances triggered conflicts between Doyin and Kimoprah, Angel and Neo, and Pere and Doyin, turning it into a symbol of controversy within the house.
Seyi’s National Misogynistic Statement
On August 19, 2023, after a customary Saturday night party, Seyi made misogynistic statements that sent shockwaves across the nation. In a shocking conversation with Soma and Whitemoney, he expressed his intentions, saying, “I have a miscellaneous account for my son, and I’ll give them the keys to the guest house, they will go run a train on people’s daughters.”
This deeply disturbing statement drew condemnation from celebrities and organizations, including the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA Lagos). Seyi later issued an apology to his fellow housemates and the nation upon his eviction.
A Barrage of 11 Issued Strikes
Throughout the All Stars season, Big Brother issued a total of 11 strikes to housemates who violated various rules during their stay. The strikes were as follows:
