Mickey Lee, a contestant on ‘Big Brother’ season 27, died on Christmas Day, her family shared. She was 35.
“With profound sadness, the family of Mickey Lee announces her transition on Christmas in the early evening,” her relatives posted to IG.
According to a GoFundMe made for her earlier this week, Mickey — who was from Jacksonville and was living in Atlanta — had been in the ICU after suffering a “series of cardiac arrests.”
“Mickey captured the hearts of audiences nationwide through her appearance on ‘Big Brother’, where her authenticity, strength and spirit left a lasting impression on fans and fellow cast members alike,” the family’s statement continued. “She will be remembered for the joy she brought into the lives of so many and for the genuine connections she formed both on and off screen.”
Mickey’s fellow ‘Big Brother’ alums are paying their respects to the late reality star, with Rachel Reilly posting, “She will always be remembered and I am beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to get to know her for the short period I did- she shared so much light with us and was such an amazing soul.”
27-year-old Big Brother season 11 housemate, Whitney Chukwu, also known as Nomy, has been kicked out of the house.
Nomy was disqualified from the Big Brother Naija Show Ya Sef house for consistently going against the rules of the show and disregarding Big Brother.
Big Brother cited her repeated defiance of his instructions, including leaving her assigned bench and vest behind while serving as this week’s bench warmer.
Big Brother said her “privilege to participate in the game has been revoked” while instructing her to leave the house immediately.
Nomy, who hails from Anambra State, is a fashion entrepreneur and hoped to win the season 11 of the reality show.
It appeared that while in the house, Nomy was unfriendly with most of the housemates who complained about her attitude.
Veteran Kannywood actress, Zainab Zee Diamond, has died after a prolonged illness.
Zainab reportedly died in the early hours of Monday, September 7, 2026, shortly after the Fajr prayer, following an extended period of medical treatment.
Her family confirmed her death in a statement, expressing grief over the loss and informing her colleagues, friends and fans.
The family also used the Islamic expression, “Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un,” meaning “Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.”
News of the actress’ death has sparked an outpouring of tributes from colleagues, filmmakers and fans across the Kannywood industry.
Zainab was a familiar face in Kannywood, the Hausa-language film industry centred largely in Kano and popular across northern Nigeria and other parts of the country.
Her colleagues and admirers have taken to social media to mourn her death, with many recalling her contributions to the Hausa entertainment industry and the memories she created for audiences over the years.
Details of her burial arrangements had not been officially announced as of the time of filing this report.
The family is expected to release further information on the funeral arrangements.
The daughter of Nigerian legendary singer, 2Baba, and Annie, Isabel Idibia, has disclosed that her parents’ separation obviously affects her.
Recall that 2Baba announced his separation from Annie Idibia in February 2025 and got married to Edo State lawmaker, Natasha Osawaru.
Isabel, during an interview on Friday with Yanga FM, responded to questions about the impact of her parents’ separation.
Isabel admitted that the marriage breakup affected her, but things are now getting better.
The interviewer asked in Pidgin English: “Can we say the separation wey Papa and your Mama get, affect you?”
She answered: “I mean obviously yes, but things are getting better day by day.”
In other news, Nigerian comedian, Ayo Makun, better known as AY, has spoken about the possibility of 2Baba divorcing his wife cum Edo State lawmaker, Natasha.
AY made this known at Daddy Showkey’s 50 years on stage concert in Lagos.
While disclosing that 2Baba was his neighbour before his relationship with Natasha, the comedian cum Nigerian filmmaker explained that Natasha relocated 2Baba to Edo State and Abuja.
AY also playfully mocked 2Baba regarding his ongoing marital crisis with Natasha, hinting at the singer’s possibility of ending the marriage and returning to singlehood.
