Bella Okagbue sparks a buzz for broke-shaming a troll’s father
Reality TV star, Bella Okagbue faces backlash following a heated exchange with an online troll who insulted her intelligence.
The ex-Big Brother Naija housemate had taken to the X platform to share stunning photos of herself from an event and while many gushed over her beauty, others cursed at her.
A particular troll’s comment, “empty head,” sparked Bella’s swift and biting response, who clapped back with, “Like your father’s account balance!”
While Bella’s comeback showed her quick wit, it didn’t sit well with many netizens, who criticized her for “broke-shaming” the troll in response.
Instead of gaining support, Bella’s response attracted further ridicule, with several users questioning her choice of words and mocking her for relying on 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 banger🤦🏿♂️🚶🏿♂️🚶🏿♂️🚶🏿♂️ 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☹️.”
