BBNaija star Phyna has publicly responded to her former co-star Sheggz amid the ongoing controversy surrounding his breakup with Bella Okagbue. In a sharp rebuttal, Phyna denied ever smoking in Sheggz's living room, as he had claimed, and instead accused him of owing Bella more than N30 million—not the N11 million figure that has been circulating.
Phyna denies smoking allegation and clarifies her visits
Reacting to claims that she had smoked in Sheggz's living room, Phyna questioned his account, insisting that she had never visited his house. She clarified that when she visited Bella, she stayed at Bella's home, not at Sheggz's residence. According to Phyna, she and Bella have been close friends for years, supporting each other through difficult periods. She also stated that she had helped Bella navigate challenges in her relationship with Sheggz.
Phyna further accused Sheggz of repeatedly putting Bella through emotional distress. She claimed that she had been helping her friend deal with several issues surrounding their relationship, which she said had taken a toll on Bella.
Allegations of debt and lifestyle hypocrisy
The reality star also alleged that Sheggz owed Bella more than N30 million, a figure significantly higher than the N11 million that has been mentioned in public discussions. Phyna did not provide further details about the debt but maintained that her statement was based on what she had personally witnessed.
In addition, Phyna questioned Sheggz's comments about her lifestyle, pointing to his alleged use of shisha, vapes, and laughing gas while criticising her over the smoking allegation. She highlighted what she described as hypocrisy in his remarks.
Phyna reveals private messages and defends her silence
Phyna also claimed that she had received messages from women who allegedly accused Sheggz of making plans to take them on private trips. She said she had chosen not to release the alleged evidence, but her statement suggests she is holding back potentially damaging information.
She maintained that she had deliberately stayed out of the public fallout between Sheggz and Bella but decided to speak after seeing what she described as false claims about her. Phyna insisted that her support for Bella did not begin after the death of her sister, saying she had stood by her friend throughout the four years of her relationship with Sheggz.
Warning and continued defense of Bella
Phyna concluded by warning Sheggz not to involve her in the ongoing dispute. She reiterated that she would continue to defend Bella based on what she claimed to have personally witnessed.
The video of Phyna's response was shared on Instagram by Linda Ikeji's blog, with a post timestamped at 22/08/2026 9:01 PM. The ongoing feud between the former co-stars continues to draw attention, with Phyna's latest statements adding new layers to the controversy.
