“Adekunle Just Dey Lie”: BBNaija Star Says Newsletter About Housemates Living Fake Lives Wasn’t for Sheggz

  • The BBNaija Level Up Reunion show has kicked off, and videos from one of its episodes have made the rounds
  • One of the housemates, Adekunle, got to speak on the newsletter he posted online which seemed to claim that many of his co-stars were living fake lives
  • According to Adekunle, the letter was not directed at Sheggz, who bought Azul at a nightclub or any other housemate

BBNaija Level Up star, Adekunle, is trending on social media after videos from the Reunion Show made the rounds online.

Recall that the housemates went on their trip to South Africa shortly after the show. While there, Adekunle had put out a newsletter explaining how many of his co-stars were living fake lives because all the things they were flaunting online were actually sponsored by Pepsi.

At the time, a number of people felt the ‘newsletter’ was directed mainly at Sheggz, another housemate who had bought Azul tequila at the club during their South Africa trip.

During the BBNaija Level Up Reunion show, Ebuka questioned Adekunle about what his intention was with the newsletter.

He responded that he actually had no idea Sheggz had bought Azul at the club because they were not even in the same section. According to him, the newsletter was to his fans and not directed towards any of the housemates, including Sheggz.

In his words:

“The beautiful thing is that he was very lowkey, which means that a lot of people didn’t know. I didn’t know there was an Azul situation until the next day. If we’re going to be very honest with each other, we weren’t in the same section of the club so I didn’t know anything that was going on at the other side and I think I was part of the first set of people to leave the club. So when I put out the newsletter and I saw the Azul issue, honestly I was confused because I honestly didn’t know there was an Azul situation.”

Adekunle insists he was not shading any BBNaija housemate

The show host, Ebuka, however, added that everybody could not have been wrong for them to think Adekunle was throwing shade at them. The BBN star then replied that he could not make sense of how people reacted to his newsletter because he was not directly talking to anybody and nobody actually approached him to find out why he wrote the letter except Christy O.

He said:

“I couldn’t make sense of it because I wasn’t talking to anybody directly. The issue that I have with the whole newsletter drama is that it happened last year in another country. This is almost a year after and it’s coming back again. We were all in the same environment, Christy O was the only person that came to me to ask me what’s up with the newsletter.”

Bella disagrees with Adekunle

Another housemate, Bella, was, however, not buying Adekunle’s explanation. According to her, it was very clear he was throwing shade at most people with the letter.

To that, Adekunle responded by saying he was not afraid of anybody, and if he wanted to sub someone, he would do it directly by using his ‘@’ button.

In his words:

“Out of all this, the one thing that hurts me the most about this newsletter saga is people generally didn’t read it because at the tail end I genuinely put ‘Level 1 I'm proud of you guys, I wish you guys well, Level 2, I can’t wait… I’m not afraid of anybody here, If I want to say anything, if I want to use my @, I will use it. If I want to sub anybody, I will sub you directly and nothing will happen. Looking back, it may have looked like I was coming for people directly but I promise you that wasn’t the intent.”

Phyna goes emotional as she speaks about her relationship with Groovy

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Phyna explained why her relationship with colleague Groovy ended the way it did.

In an interview on Joy Prime TV, she stated that her feelings for him were genuine but dissipated when she understood he was not genuine.

Phyna stated that she discovered he was also interested in other females in the BBNaija house; therefore, she chose to play it safe rather than quit their relationship immediately.
