“Low budget clown” – BBNaija stars, Ike and Maria Chike clash over Mercy Eke making it to the finale

Reality TV star, Maria Chike, and her colleague, Ike Onyema, had an altercation over Mercy Eke on the micro-blogging platform X on Monday, September 18.
It all started when Maria threw jabs at Ike after Mercy Eke made it to the finale of the ongoing Big Brother Naija All Stars show.

She criticized him in response to his earlier comment on the show, in which he stated that he would rather die than watch Mercy win the show for a second time. Recall that she won the ‘pepper dem’ edition in 2019.
After she was announced as a finalist on the show, having received the fewest nominations, Maria wrote on Twitter, “@ikeonyema How far???? Mercy is a finalist and 99% possibly winning the show!”

Ike didn’t take this comment lightly, and he fired back at her, warning her to stay in her lane before he tackles her. He also called her a low-budget clown.
He responded,
“Are you normal?She go come out and we go dey alrightCan’t say the same about youDon’t let me enter youBecause when I start, I won’t listen to Lekki boysLow-budget clown”
Ike was also housemate on the ongoing BBNaija All Stars show but was evicted on Sunday, September 3.
