I’m Not A Gigolo, I Provided Everything — Sheggz Denies Depending On Bella Financially

Segun ‘Sheggz’ Olusemo, former Big Brother Naija housemate, has denied claims that he was financially dependent on his ex-girlfriend, Bella Okagbue, during their relationship.

The reality TV star addressed the reports in a recent chat with UK-based Nigerian influencer, Oyemykke, dismissing suggestions that he collected money from Bella while they were together.

Sheggz said the narrative only gained traction after their relationship ended without leading to marriage. He claimed he contributed more financially and rejected the label of “gigolo”.

“I’m not a gigolo. Bro, is it possible? I have a job. I make money as I work hard,” he said.

“I have my house in London and I have my house in Banana Island, Lagos. I’ve been balling since way back.”

The reality star maintained that the portrayal of their financial arrangement was unfair.

“I’m not saying she’s lying. She brought stuff to the table. It’s 70/30. She’s a woman; she works as well. She’s a star too; we’re both stars,” he said.

“She lived with me; I provided everything for her. As I gave her a car, I did everything for her. I loved her to bits. That was my girl. If we got married, this wouldn’t be a conversation.

“Because we didn’t get married, now everyone is saying crazy stuff.”

The pair met during the 2022 edition of BBNaija and began a relationship on the show.

In August, Sheggz revealed that his four-year relationship with Bella ended in January 2026.

Bella, on the other hand, accused Sheggz of having a double personality and said he made “hundreds of promises” to her, but “none was fulfilled”.
