Bella Okagbue sparks a buzz for broke-shaming a troll’s father
Reality TV star Bella Okagbue is facing criticism after a fiery exchange with an online troll who mocked her intelligence.
The former Big Brother Naija contestant had posted stunning event photos on the X platform, drawing admiration from many followers—though some responded with insults.
One troll’s remark, calling her an “empty head,” triggered Bella’s sharp retort: “Like your father’s account balance!”
While her comeback showcased her quick wit, it sparked backlash from several netizens who disapproved of her “broke-shaming” response.
Rather than support, Bella’s response led to further ridicule, with many questioning her choice of words and criticizing her for using financial status as an insult.
The incident has since gone viral, stirring up debate over celebrity reactions to online criticism and the use of wealth as a measure in clapbacks.
A critic @iam_pterr wrote in response, “If u no broke shame person shey u no fit drop bange Immer diese Leute.”
Another troll @eiefa_john added, “What makes her feel she has more money than the babe father?”
Her fans, however, also dashed to support their favourite, @Wenndyyyyyyyy reacted, “Every Public figure should be like this once in a while.When a netizen insults you unprovoked give them SMACK DOWN immediately cos why do some persons think it’s ok to insult or try to bully these people everytime like they’re not human beings. Very silly behavior.”
