Big Brother Naija Season 10 winner, Imisi Ayanwale, has responded to her mother’s recent accusations.
Naijaonpoint reports that the reality TV star raised questions about why the matter only surfaced after her rise to fame.
The issue began when her mother posted videos online, saying she had been abandoned and still lived in poor conditions despite Imisi’s N150 million win.
The videos, released on November 16, showed her mother expressing frustration and insisting she would not plead for help.
In her response shared on her Instagram page, Imisi stated that her mother was not involved in her life before her BBNaija victory, saying that long periods would pass without any contact.
She said the sudden public outburst shocked her because the relationship had always been strained.
Imisi explained that she has supported her mother over the years and had sent money even in the days leading up to the controversy.
She added that she cannot use her prize money for personal comfort of one person since many family members now depend on her.
She said: “Before I won BBNaija, I was living my life and you would not even call me in one or two years, so why is there a problem now?
“God knows I have tried. I still sent you money last week and four days ago. Will I kill myself?
“I cannot take N1 out of the money I won for anybody’s comfort. I have 100 people in the family looking up to me alone.
“You were absent during the toughest phases of my life.”
