Bella Okagbue, a BBN star, has created a huge conversation on Twitter. She brazenly stated that many Nigerians oppose her success, a revelation that came after harsh criticism for her comments about brand endorsements and her personal life.
Bella’s comments came after being chastised for her comments about her and her boyfriend’s big endorsement fees.
Bella stated in a TikTok Live session that many brands couldn’t afford to engage with them, individually or as a pair, due to their exorbitant asking price. According to Bella, only huge, prominent brands could cooperate 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.
