After the exhilarating Guinness task, the housemates decided to unwind and celebrate with some drinks. As the night wore on, Cross and Ilebaye found themselves in the bathroom, caught in a moment of intimacy that would have significant consequences. The chemistry between them was undeniable, with Ilebaye even climbing on Cross to prolong the passionate exchange. This sight led some of the housemates to believe that Ilebaye initiated the kiss.
In the garden the next day, Venita engaged Cross in a conversation about the altercation that occurred between Angel and Ilebaye following the kiss. Venita assumed that the kiss had triggered Angel, considering her history with Cross. However, Cross, feeling confident in his understanding of Angel, referred to her as a "drama queen" who knew precisely what she was doing. In response to the altercation that ensued, Cross and Ilebaye took the initiative to clear the air between them. Cross even went a step further to apologise for Angel's behaviour.
Watch Cross clarify the kiss:
Different perspectives
The aftermath of the kiss revealed conflicting accounts from various housemates. Tolanibaj shared that Cross had confided in him, admitting to initiating the kiss. This revelation seemed to challenge the earlier assumptions that Ilebaye had made the first move. As opinions differed, narratives within the house escalated, further fueled by Gen Z Baddie's reputation.
She has been the centre of attention since her entry into the Big Brother Naija All Stars house. She has been involved in several altercations with female housemates, which she views as jealousy-driven. From her run-in with Tolanibaj over sleeping in Neoenergy's bed to her confrontation with Angel, Ilebaye's "provocative" nature has sparked controversy.
With the highly anticipated pool and grill party scheduled for tonight, will the event bring more fireworks and heightened emotions, or will it be an opportunity for the housemates to reconcile their differences and let loose?
