Drama Apparently Brewing on ‘Basketball Wives’ as O.G. Seen Tearing Into Cast Member

Jennifer Williams‘ Sip and Shop event drew a host of her fellow “Basketball Wives” co-stars. But while most photos from the event seem to show cohesion, a video reveals some drama may be bubbling up behind the scenes.

And the potential friction appears to involve Ogom “O.G.” Chijindu.

During the May 1 event where Williams celebrated the launch of her first brick and mortar store for her Classy Girl Wardrobe clothing line and simultaneously honored her late mother, it looked as if O.G. was getting combative with a fellow guest.

While the footage is inaudible, what’s apparent is that O.G. is adamantly moving her head around and raising her hands toward an unseen person. Williams, Malaysia Pargo as well as Evelyn Lozada and her pal Feby Torres, are among those listening in. Also in attendance was Kristen Scott.

“@iheartog who done mess with you boo!😥#BasketBallWives #BBWLA #BBWS8,” the “Basketball Wives” fan account that shared the clip captioned the post.

Taking in the footage, fans began to speculate about who O.G.’s fury was geared toward.

“It looks like she’s talking to Malaysia.”

“Don’t let it Be Malaysia she gone drag her.”

“Her wig probably pushed back again and Malaysia told her😂”

“Probably going off on Kristen ass anyway love OG.”

“Evelyn made sure to move tf out of her way. That’s what’s happens when real b***he’s step in the room. You move.”

A photo snapped of the moment also appears to show O.G. may have been addressing Lozada, Torres or Williams — if not all three.

O.G. is making her return to “Basketball Wives” in season 8 following the last one where she made her debut. During the retired women’s league football player’s first go-round on the VH1 series, she dealt with Lozada poking fun at her breasts.

“I’m looking at her and my eyes are just, like, I can’t help it,” Lozada said in a confessional scene remarking on a low-cut outfit O.G. wore to a get-together. “Her titties, like, they look crazy.”

Her breasts also became an issue with Pargo, who dissed her style choices and remarked, “she probably wanna leave the side-boob shirt at home.”

O.G. also contended with the fallout following a charity event Pargo hosted where she showed up late and empty-handed, despite instructions to bring an item from your personal closet.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
