In the glittering aftermath of Big Brother Naija's dramatic finale, where Imisi Ayanwale claimed the ₦100 million crown on October 27. Just weeks into her victory lap, a leaked audio clip of Imisi pleading with her mother has gone viral on X, pulling back the curtain on a rift laced with accusations of lies, abandonment, and relentless money demands.
The call, surfacing publicly at 8:18 AM WAT on November 16, Imisi voice cracking as she begs: "Mummy, stop all this social media wahala... Once Big Brother pays my money, I'll settle you, whatever you want." Her mother fires back, furious over Imisi's on-air confession during Week 9's diary session. "Why did you lie on national TV that I chased you out at 12, leading to you getting raped? The whole world is cursing me now!" Imisi dodges the details, whispering, "Don't go there... we'll talk later." The exchange goes in until it ends in tense silence, but its ripple effects are deafening.

It all simmered from November 15 evening, when Imisi's mom, her identity guarded but her pain unfiltered began unloading voice notes on a now-deleted Instagram. Filming her modest Lagos home, she denied the eviction tale outright: "I don't know anything about that rape story, tell me when it happened." She toured the concrete-walled space, family photos in view, insisting she's no beggar despite 100 relatives circling like vultures for a slice of Imisi's winnings. "Black tax," she called it bitterly, a phrase that resonates in Nigerian families where success invites endless claims.
By midday November 16, X lit up with over 50 threads dissecting the audio's nuances, the faint speakerphone echo, Imisi's anxious "e jo" pleas, her mother's pot-clanging interruptions. Fans who once pitied her "toxic" backstory now split: some hail Imisi's caution, others brand her a manipulator who spun abuse for sympathy votes. "She fvcking lied!" one viral quote blasted, racking up 57,000 views. Ties to rival housemate Faith's mom-drama only fuel the fire, exposing how BBNaija's confessionals can haunt long after the cameras fade.
As of November 17 morning, Imisi remained silent. Her mom has scrubbed her profile, but the damage lingers, 1 million impressions and counting. This isn't just gossip; it's a stark reminder of fame's family toll. Will Imisi break her hush and heal the bond, or let the leaks define her reign? Nigeria watches, hearts heavy.
