  • Female celebrities who shamed ex-lovers over s3xual performances

    Female celebrities who shamed ex-lovers over s3xual performances

    Breakups can be messy. While some couples opt to part ways amicably, others find it difficult not to draw the first blood. Women, most times, take breakups more seriously than their male counterparts probably because they are much more emotionally invested than the men. In trying to get back to the men, they try to puncture their ego and s3xual performance.

    Here are some female celebrities who took their pounds of flesh after a messy breakup:

     

    Nkechi blessing and Falegan.

    Nkechi Blessing and her estranged lover Opeyemi Falegan were the instagram celebrity couple you would have wished you were. They ‘peppered’ the “God when the association of singles” and the “God am I a spoon faculty” with their picture-perfect couple goals but things soon took a downturn when the duo separated.
    In a live video, admitting to the fact that she was a lesbian and shouldered her ex’s financial responsibilities among many other things, Nkechi Blessing also alleged that Falegan had a poor bedroom performance. She had even alleged that his manhood was ineffective. Following that accusation, she brought out a variety of s3x toys for the satisfaction she claimed her ex could not meet. She went as far as switching them on and mimicking the sounds they make.

     

    Tonto Dikeh to Olakunle Churchill.
    The whole internet was on fire when Actress Tonto Dikeh and her ex-husband Olakunle Churchill went their separate ways. The actress- cum socialite accused her ex of being emotionally abusive and an absentee parent. It was even learnt that her bride price was returned after their fall out. She alleged Churchill had erectile dysfunction. In an interview with Daddy Freeze, the actress blatantly alleged that her ex could not hold a penile erection for more than 40 seconds, leading to the popular coinage “40- second man”

     

    BBN Ka3rna to BBN Praise.
    Speculations trailed the relationship between BBN season 5 lockdown housemates Ka3rna and Praise after the duo was seen having an affectionate moment on camera. However, after she was evicted, Ka3rna denied ever being s3xually intimate with Praise. She said their act was mere “aggressive cuddling’ but the story changed when the reunion of the season aired.

    Ka3rna, who had denied having s3x with Praise, confirmed they actually did an Praise couldn’t even hold up for more thatn 30 seconds.

    With disdain, she said “I slept with him and he couldn’t even last for 30 seconds”

     

    Tbaj and Prince

    Just like Ka3rna, T’baj also gave Nigerians an insight into the s3xual prowess of her former Lover in the house, Prince.
    The relationship between the duo from inception was always rocky. They always had an issue to tackle inside and outside the house. According to the story that was revealed between Dorathy, T’baj and Prince during the reunion, the duo had gotten s3xually intimate, an action which T’baj termed “unimpressive”. Addressing him and Ebuka she said, ”we had s3x and he didn’t even last up to five minutes.” Turning to Prince, she said: “You did not impress me at all.”

     

    Stefflon Don and Burna Boy

    Singer Stefflon Don and her ex-lover Burna Boy were a force to be reckoned with as they proved to be really close knit. But to the utter amazement of well wishers and online inlaws, they parted ways but not without spilling blood. Although the duo had not yet sheathed their swords, we have not heard any ramblings for some time. Steff alluded their break up to a number of things including the Grammy award winner’s inability to satisfy her in bed. In an instagam story she wrote: “I broke up with Burna Boy because he has a fragile ego. He sees his friend Wizkid as a competition despite knowing Wizkid is bigger than he is. He can’t even satisfy me in bed. SMH. He bullied me the last time I wanted to talk, but not anymore. Funny, Laslas na everybody go chop breakfast”
