Phyna Accuses Sheggz of Beating Bella, Claims She Witnessed Domestic Violence
Lagos, August 21, 2026—Big Brother Naija star Phyna has ignited fresh controversy by accusing fellow reality TV personality Sheggz of physically assaulting his former partner Bella Okagbue, claiming she personally witnessed an incident during an overnight stay at their home.
In a widely shared video circulating on social media, Phyna stated: “Sheggz, you beat Bella. I experienced it once.” She detailed how she slept over at Bella’s residence, a decision she said angered Sheggz.
According to her account, she heard noise from their room, went to check, and found Bella crying.
When she asked if Sheggz had beaten her, Bella initially denied it but later allegedly confided that the assault occurred because she allowed Phyna to stay the night.
Phyna further alleged a pattern of abuse, claiming Sheggz would beat Bella whenever she went out with friends.
She questioned the double standard, noting how often Sheggz himself was seen socializing with women. She also dismissed as fake certain chats that allegedly suggested Bella had cheated.
The claims come just days after Sheggz publicly confirmed the end of his relationship with Bella in January 2026. In a detailed statement, the reality star denied both cheating and any form of physical abuse.
“I am not an abuser,” he wrote, emphasizing his values of family, integrity, and faith.
He explained that trust and respect issues led him to end the relationship after attempts at reconciliation and said he had even purchased a ring with marriage in mind before the breakup.
Sheggz maintained that much of 2025 was marked by serious health challenges that required hospitalization and that he only became aware of certain information upon returning to Nigeria in October 2025 that raised questions about honesty in the relationship.
Phyna’s intervention has added another layer to the public discussion surrounding the former couple, whose romance began during the BBNaija Level Up season and remained a subject of intense fan interest for years.
Neither Bella nor Sheggz had issued an immediate public response to Phyna’s specific allegations at the time of this report.
Domestic violence remains a serious issue in Nigeria, and such public accusations often spark wider conversations about accountability, privacy and the pressures of celebrity relationships.
Fans and observers continue to debate the claims online, with some supporting Phyna’s account and others urging caution until more verified details emerge.
The story is still developing as the parties involved navigate the fallout from the latest revelations.
