“People don’t want me to succeed” Bella Okagbue

Bbn star, Bella Okagbue, recently sparked significant conversation on Twitter. She boldly declared that many Nigerians seem opposed to her success, a revelation following intense criticism over her comments about brand endorsements and personal life.

Bella’s remarks come after she faced backlash for her statements regarding her and her boyfriend’s high endorsement fees. She had shared in a TikTok Live session, as reported by Kemi Filani, that many brands couldn’t afford to work with them, individually or as a pair, due to their high asking price. Bella emphasized that only major, significant brands could collaborate with them.

However, this claim was met with skepticism and criticism from netizens. Many accused Bella of fabricating stories about rejecting brand deals due to their cost. Some pointed out previous instances where she accepted deals for lesser amounts, like a 500,000 Naira deal. Others criticized her preference for international brands over Nigerian ones, suggesting she was paying these brands rather than being paid by them.

Amidst this controversy, Bella voiced her feelings on Twitter. She expressed her belief that many do not wish to see her succeed, but rather than being discouraged, this sentiment has fueled her motivation. She highlighted the irony of people being upset by her recent international ads, teasing that she was just beginning her journey.

Adding another layer to the drama, Bella and her boyfriend, Sheggz, have been involved in other controversies. Notably, Bella addressed rumors about her sexual activity, asserting on Instagram that she was not sexually active, despite her relationship with Sheggz. Sheggz responded cryptically on his Instagram story, hinting at disbelief in her claim.

Furthermore, Bella’s birthday message to Sheggz stirred up fan reactions. She was criticized for being overly effusive in her praise, with some fans suggesting she step back, as Sheggz seemed less expressive. Bella’s response to these fans was direct and unapologetic, calling them stupid.

Bella Okagbue’s journey in the spotlight is a blend of personal revelations, professional challenges, and public scrutiny. Her experience encapsulates the complexities of celebrity life in Nigeria, where personal and professional boundaries often blur, and public opinion can be both a hurdle and a driving force.
