Former Big Brother Naija housemates and romantic partners Sheggz and Bella have been in the news after details of their break-up surfaced online, with accusations of domestic violence, unpaid debt, and emotional manipulation making the rounds.
The rumours of unpaid debt have been making the rounds, especially on social media, where alledged screen shot of messages where Sheggz was asking Bella to lend him money has gone viral.
Segun Olusemo, AKA Sheggz, has now reacted to the situation by instructing his legal representatives to issue a letter to his ex Bella, demanding a retraction and apology for alleged defamation. In the letter dated August 21, 2026 and directed at Miss Chiddima Esther Okagbue (Bella), Sheggz’s lawyers accused Bella of making defamatory statements, including claiming that he was abusive towards her, owed her a sum of eleven million naira, and also made denigrating comments about his person and his family.
The letter also accused Bella of cyberbullying Sheggz, threatening to use social media to bring him mental distress, and reducing his credibility in the estimation of his peers, business partners, and the public.
The letter demanded that Bella immediately desist from making the aforementioned statements, remove all defamatory content on all platforms, and make a retraction of public apology on social media.
