During the show, Nelly and Kellyrae had shared a notably warm bond—one that persisted even after they revealed to other housemates that they were actually married. But in a candid exchange with the reunion host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Nelly confirmed that their friendship is over. She pointed the finger at Kassia, saying their personal disagreements spilled over to affect her relationship with Kellyrae.
“It never for once felt like me and Kellyrae had issues,” Nelly said, explaining that the root of the problem lay in her falling out with Kassia. She recounted a moment on the show when Kassia allegedly misrepresented something Onyeka said about her. According to Nelly, Kassia confidently claimed Onyeka had made certain remarks—only for Nelly to later discover it was simply Kassia’s assumption.
Kassia objected: “Hmm? You stopped talking to him. What do you mean by, ‘obviously, it’s the wife’?”
The exchange quickly turned heated as Nelly shot back, demanding Kassia let her finish speaking. She maintained that Kassia’s miscommunication had soured their dynamic in the house, pointing to the moment when Kassia insisted Onyeka said something that was, in fact, just her own instinct.
Defending herself, Kassia clarified: “I said two things. Onyeka said the first one, the second one was my instincts. Maybe you didn’t understand.”
The argument highlighted the deep-seated tensions still lingering among the Season 9 cast, as viewers got a fresh glimpse of the personal conflicts that went beyond the televised competition itself. While some fans hoped the reunion would lead to mended fences, this fiery segment suggested that at least some of these rifts remain very much unresolved.
