I Didn't Cheat On Bella – Sheggz Breaks Silence On Split
Former Big Brother Naija star Sheggz Olusemo has addressed the split from girlfriend Bella Okagbue, shedding light on the circumstances surrounding their breakup.
Taking to his X handle (formerly Twitter), Sheggz clarified that he has been single since January 2026 and denied allegations that he cheated on Bella.
The reality star shared that much of 2025 was a difficult period for him, during which he spent time in and out of the hospital. He said he returned to Nigeria in October 2025 after treatment and recovery in England, only to discover information that caused him to question the honesty within the relationship.
He expressed his disappointment at not receiving the truth despite giving several opportunities for it to be shared.
Sheggz noted that despite his love for Bella and hopes for a future together, including purchasing a ring, he ultimately concluded that issues of trust and respect could not be overlooked.
He emphasised his commitment to family, integrity, and faith, and stated that he is not an abuser.
He wrote on X:
"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."
"I am a man who values family, friendship, integrity and my faith. I am a brother, a friend to many and most importantly, I know the values I stand for. I am not an abuser."
"For clarity, I did not cheat on Bella and I have been single since January 2026."
"Much of 2025 was an extremely difficult period for me as I spent a significant amount of time in and out of hospital. I am genuinely grateful to be alive after everything I experienced. Following treatment and recovery in England, I returned to Nigeria in October 2025, where I became aware of information that caused me to question the honesty within our relationship. I had given several opportunities since 2024 for the truth to be shared with me but unfortunately, that did not happen."
"It was difficult for me to process, particularly because I had loved Bella deeply and genuinely hoped we would spend our lives together. I also struggled with how the situation was handled and at times, I felt there was not the level of remorse or understanding I had hoped for."
"The relationship ended in January 2026. We made attempts to reconcile afterwards but ultimately I came to the conclusion that there were issues of trust and respect that I could not overlook when considering marriage. I believe a marriage should be built on mutual respect, honesty and the ability to communicate with one another properly."
"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. Unfortunately, sometimes two people can care deeply for one another and still come to the realisation that the relationship is no longer right for them."
"I understand that her family may have their own feelings about the situation and I respect that. From my side, I know that I tried sincerely and repeatedly to make things work."
"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."
