The former BBNaija housemate is tired of the narrative and he’s setting the record straight — one Banana Island property at a time.

BBNaija star Segun Olusemo, better known as Sheggz*, has come out swinging against rumours that have been trailing him like a bad market debt — specifically, the whispers that he has been living off women, particularly his ex-girlfriend, *Bella Okagbue.
If you’ve been on Nigerian Twitter or any of the gossip blogs lately, you already know the kind of talk that has been following this guy. But Sheggz? He’s not here for it. Not today. Not any day.

“I Have a House on Banana Island”
For context, Banana Island — that exclusive, heavily guarded neighbourhood in Ikoyi, Lagos — is not where regular people lay their heads. This is the address of senators, CEOs, and Nollywood A-listers. So when Sheggz drops that he owns property there, he wants you to understand that the “gigolo” label simply does not fit.
The reality TV star made it clear that his financial standing is solid and that the narrative painting him as a man who depends on women to survive is not only false but frankly, embarrassing.

The Bill-Splitting Breakdown
On the matter of his relationship with Bella, Sheggz revealed that when it came to splitting expenses, he was carrying the heavier load* — to the tune of a *70-30 split, with him contributing the larger share.
“Bella and I split the bills 70-30 and I did more,” he stated plainly, shutting down any suggestion that she was the one bankrolling the relationship.
For many Nigerians who watched “Shella” blossom in the Big Brother house and followed their relationship outside of it, this revelation adds a new layer to the story. The couple, who were once fan favourites, have since gone their separate ways — but clearly, the public commentary around what happened between them has not died down.

Why This Matters in Nigeria’s Pop Culture Conversation
In Nigeria, a man’s financial independence is often tied closely to his reputation and self-worth — and Sheggz knows this. Being labelled a “gigolo” or a man who lets a woman “carry” him is one of the quickest ways to lose public respect, especially in a society where gender expectations around money remain deeply ingrained.
Whether you’re team Sheggz or not, one thing is clear — this BBNaija alum is not about to let a false narrative define him. He has spoken, and he wants his flowers while he’s still standing.
