Big Brother Naija reality TV star Bella Okagbue addressed the persistent wave of online shaming she has been subjected to. In a X profile post she made earlier today, Okagbue reflected her frustration with continuous body shaming, voice shaming, and accent shaming that she endures.
The reality star declared, “Enough is enough. I’m Nigerian and I sound Nigerian!!! Let me be!”
I’m constantly body shamed, voice shamed, accent shamed and shamed for everything I do. Enough is enough. I’m Nigerian and I sound Nigerian!!! Let me be!

This statement follows the circulation of a video with Bella singing out loud to a viral ‘Nack’ song, and a troll making mockery of her voice.
The BBN star went ahead to make the tweet of being voice shamed and further even laid a curse on the troll, stating the troll would have all the wealth in the world but will have a child without voice. This curse she said, came from a place of tears.
