BBNaija S7: The Buzz episode 8: “Beauty has more personality than Bella,” says Simi Drey
At this point, it’s safe to say the BBNaija Level Up housemates clearly understood the assignment giving us what media personality Moni Osibodu described on The Buzz as possibly “the messiest Big Brother I’ve seen”. We couldn’t agree more.
This week, media personality Simi Drey, ex-BBNaija housemate Sir Dee, and Moni joined Toke on The Buzz to discuss the merging of the BBNaija house.
Kicking off with the first female Head of House (HOH) Chomzy and Eloswag sharing the HOH room, Simi Drey said she didn’t expect any “action” from the pair because “Chomzy still likes Groovy.” The ladies also discussed Chomzy’s laidback attitude to leadership and her decision to let Eloswag do all the work.
Moving on to the merging of the house, Simi Drey pointed out that the division between the Levels was still apparent, but the ships were getting interesting because now everyone is together, and the “grass is no longer greener on the other side”.

Onto the ships in the house, The Buzz guests agreed that Bella and Sheggz had given up on the money, referring to Bella’s conversation with Doyin where she said even if she didn’t win the money, finding love with Sheggz was still a win. Ahem!
Still on Shella, Simi Drey stated that Sheggz might be on some Yoruba demon p, pointing out that Yoruba men were notorious for introducing women they date to family and friends as a serious girlfriend. But said girl could be side chick number 4. She added that Sheggz had all the trappings of a Yoruba demon and wouldn’t be surprised if he was just playing Bella.
Speaking of Yoruba demons, the conversation spun to the Deji and Chichi ship, and Moni theorised that Deji probably went after Chichi because he saw she was “the weakest link in the house”. Gbas gbos.

Moving on to the gossip train that dominated house discussions this week and included Chomzy, Chichi, Amaka, Phyna, and Bella, Simi Drey said Bella should have fessed up. According to her, given the fact that Bella repeated what she was told about Phyna and Groovy to Chomzy, she should have owned up to the rumour.
“If you’re going to start a rumour, own it,” she said of Bella’s denial.
Bringing the episode to an end with the ever topical Shella ship, Moni pointed out that Beauty was “the only person that would have made Bella shake,” while Simi Drey added that Beauty “has more personality than Bella, because outside Sheggz and her ship, Who is she?.”
Shots fired!
