Former Big Brother Naija Season 9 housemates and ex-lovers, Zion and Chinwe, were caught in a fiery exchange during the first episode of the BBNaija reunion show, which aired on Monday night.

The argument centered on who initiated their breakup.

Zion insisted he ended the relationship, saying:
“I basically ended things [broke up with Chinwe].”

When host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu asked why, Zion explained:
“Because I felt like we were moving in different places in our lives; how she let it play out.”

However, Chinwe strongly disagreed, calling his version of events false.
“What Zion will not do is sit here and lie on me now,” she fired back.

Zion questioned:
“How did I lie on you?”

Chinwe responded:
“You could have owned the narrative, my love. What do you mean you broke up with me?”

She went on to recount a specific incident, saying Zion went clubbing the night before she was due to return to her base, despite her request that they spend time together. She said he turned off his phone, and when he eventually returned the next day, he claimed he couldn’t find a ride — even though he went to a friend’s place nearby.

Chinwe also alleged that Zion’s friends and family disapproved of her because she revealed during the show that she had financially supported his participation in the competition.
