In an interview with DJ Flo, Chinwe revealed that the issues began when Zion threatened to end their relationship if she did not apologize to Chizoba, with whom she had a confrontation earlier that day.
She said, “This is not the first time Zion would be throwing me under the bus. I don’t know the image his trying to portray to other people, but at my expense, its f*cked up.
“Na me dem insult and I defended myself, why do I have to go and apologise to the person that insulted me?
“And I’m telling him that I’m not gonna do it, and the next thing, he’s keeping face. For what? So is he saying, anytime he throws his childish tantrums and I refuse to act the way he wants, he’s gonna act silly towards me at the expense of my feelings and emotions? It’s not done.
“If for anything, I like to keep a straight head, my mental health is 1001 percent paramount to me. I won’t compromise it for anybody. So if this is the emotional roller coaster he’s gonna be taking me through, then f*ck everything we are here for. If we cannot be a team, lets f*cking go home.
“Let’s go home, I have a family that cares about me. I speak to my dad at least five times in a day. My papa no dey use me play, so for one guy, one n*gga to be using me to do this rubbish, I’m done.
“I would not act like what I’m not. If that’s the image he wants to portray, then you know what, we go home, you live your life, I live mine.
“I would not be stuck with a guy that keeps throwing me under the bus, its not possible. A simple I will not do that, the next thing he’s carrying face for me. So I should be begging him up and down?
“He’s saying lets go and pack our bags but just know that once we live here its over between the both of us. He dey threaten me with breakup, me? With breakup? Then lets break up I’m not doing again.”

BBNaija’s Eloswag Responds To Leaked Sextape
Eloswag, a former contestant on Big Brother Naija Season 7, has broken his silence following the release of his private video online.
The reality star reportedly uploaded a clip featuring himself and an unidentified woman on his Snapchat account at approximately 3 a.m. on Sunday.
