Former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) star, Rebecca “Nengi” Hampson, has finally spoken out regarding widespread rumors surrounding her personal life, particularly allegations linking her pregnancy to a prominent Nigerian governor. The reality TV sensation, entrepreneur, and social media influencer took to her official Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) pages to set the record straight while expressing her excitement about her pregnancy journey.
After weeks of intense speculation, Nengi confirmed her pregnancy in a heartfelt post, which immediately sent her fanbase into a frenzy. The BBNaija alum shared an elegant maternity shoot on Instagram, radiating joy as she embraced the next chapter of her life. The post, captioned with gratitude and anticipation, put an end to the suspense surrounding her noticeably absent public appearances in recent months.
However, alongside the congratulations came a swirl of rumors, with certain online sources and gossip blogs alleging that a top Nigerian governor was responsible for her pregnancy.
In a strongly worded response on her Instagram Stories, Nengi dismissed the speculations as baseless and misleading. She called out rumor-mongers for attempting to tarnish her reputation, stating:
“It’s funny how people are so quick to attach a woman’s success or personal life to a man. Let’s be clear—whatever I have, I worked for it. Stop spreading fake news!”
The reality star emphasized that she remains focused on her career, business ventures, and the upcoming journey into motherhood, urging her fans to ignore fabricated stories.
As expected, Facebook, Instagram, and X were flooded with reactions from fans, bloggers, and critics alike.
“Congratulations, Queen! Don’t let these people stress you. Your glow is unmatched!” – @Nengi’sFanbaseOfficial (Instagram)
“Nigerians and their love for unnecessary drama. Let this lady enjoy her pregnancy in peace!” – @SleekyManny (X)
“Hmm, where there’s smoke, there’s fire. She should just reveal who the father is and clear all doubts.” – @NaijaGist247 (Facebook)
On LinkedIn, discussions took a different turn, with professionals analyzing the media’s tendency to associate successful women with wealthy men, emphasizing the need to respect women’s financial independence and personal choices.
Since her rise to fame on BBNaija Lockdown Edition (2020), Nengi has built an impressive brand beyond reality TV. She has ventured into fashion, beauty, and real estate, securing ambassadorial deals with major brands. Despite facing her fair share of controversies, she has remained one of the most influential figures from the BBNaija franchise.
With her pregnancy now in the open, many are curious about the father of her child. While Nengi has opted to keep that information private for now, sources close to her suggest that she is focused on a healthy and stress-free pregnancy journey.
As the rumors fade and excitement builds, one thing is certain—Nengi is stepping into motherhood on her own terms, shutting down negativity, and embracing her future with confidence.
