‘I did not cheat on Bella’ – Sheggz breaks silence on breakup rumours

Big Brother Naija reality TV star, Segun Olusemo, popularly known as Sheggz, has confirmed that his relationship with fellow former housemate Bella Okagbue ended in January 2026.

Sheggz disclosed this in a statement shared on his official social media page, where he addressed allegations surrounding the breakup and denied cheating on Bella.

He said he had remained silent out of respect for his family but decided to speak after what he described as attempts to damage his reputation.

“I have never spoken publicly on the internet out of respect for my family, and it simply isn’t my nature to do so. However, after four years of working hard to build my life and my reputation, I feel it is only fair to clarify my position rather than allow my name or character to be unfairly tarnished,” he said.

Sheggz stated that he had been single since the beginning of the year and denied being unfaithful during the relationship.

“For clarity, I did not cheat on Bella, and I have been single since January 2026,” he said.

The reality star also revealed that he battled illness in 2025 and spent considerable time receiving treatment in England before returning to Nigeria in October.

He said issues that emerged during that period affected the trust in their relationship, despite efforts to resolve them.

Sheggz disclosed that he had genuinely planned a future with Bella and even bought an engagement ring before deciding that the relationship could no longer continue.

“I genuinely wanted the relationship to work. I even went as far as purchasing a ring because I believed in the possibility of a future together,” he said.

He, however, said the relationship eventually reached a point where both parties could no longer continue, adding that he had no intention of engaging in a public exchange with Bella or her family.

​

“I have no desire for hostility or public back-and-forth. I simply want to move forward peacefully with dignity and respect for everyone involved. I wish Bella nothing but the best in life and I hope we can all eventually move on with grace,” he said.
