Big Brother Naija reality show star, Maria Chike, and her colleague, Ike Onyema, have engaged in a verbal altercation on social media.

Maria had taken to the micro-blogging platform X to taunt Ike over Mercy Eke getting to the finale of the ongoing Big Brother Naija All Stars edition.

Ike, who was evicted from the show, had, during his stay in the house, vowed to work against Mercy getting to the finals.

The show organizer on Monday, however, announced Mercy as a finalist after getting the least number of nominations.

Reacting to the development, Maria in a post on her X, taunted Ike with Mercy’s success, and Ike immediately fired back, calling her a “low-budget clown.”

She wrote, “@ikeonyema How far???? Mercy is a finalist and 99% possibly winning the show.”

Ike responded, “Are you normal? She go come out and we go dey alright. Can’t say the same about you. Don’t let me enter you because when I start, I won’t listen to Lekki boys. Low-budget clown.”

He was also one of the BBNaija All Stars contestants who was evicted on Sunday, September 3.
