'Basketball Wives' took a year-long break before it announced its return to VH1 in early 2021. When Season 8 premiered, we saw a lot of off-the-set relationships being discussed during regular conversations among the ladies. Ogom 'OG' Chijindu's was one of them.

The Legends Football League athlete has been seeing professional basketball player Kwame Alexander for a while now but she wants more. 

Last season, we saw her have a few important conversations with Kwame, which may have left her questioning the fate of her relationship but she also realized that those very conversations had given her a chance to realize that there's been a definite growth in their equation.

“For me, I saw a growth in the show, I saw a platform that was there that was offered to me, and, in my opinion, it’s, it’s kind of now was the perfect moment to give people something different,” Heavy quoted her as saying. “Which is what people want to see, and hopefully we can take the girls to a game and they see it again,” she added. 

This was after she asked Kwame what her thoughts were about their relationship and the way forward. She admitted to her feelings, shared that she wanted to get married and have kids. He quickly grew uncomfortable from the questions that were thrown at him. Unprepared, Kwame said that he was not sure if he wanted to have kids before he got married or even wanted to settle at all. 



 

While this has been a crucial part of OG's storyline, she is also concerned about her feud with Evelyn Lozada. The ladies are dealing with lawsuits and it's pretty grave. Evelyn and OG have been bitter for a while now, which only got worse when the former described her castmate using a monkey GIF. This came as a shocker not just to OG but viewers across social media platforms. 

"AND THERE iT iS.. SHOW YOUR TRUE COLORS YOU RACiST BiGOT.. YOU CALLED CECE “LiNG LiNG” JACKiE A “COCKROACH” & NOW ME A “MONKEY” MAY GOD TAKE CARE OF YOU WELL WELL..EVELYN LOZADA," OG tweeted right after screenshots of Evelyn's comment went viral.

Soon, Evelyn filed a lawsuit against OG stating that her accusations caused her to lose endorsements. The feud went on. Evelyn found herself dealing with a lawsuit from OG. The Sun reported that OG mentioned Evelyn's lawsuit caused her immense chest pain, following which she was hospitalized. 

Will the ladies ever find a way to solve this? Will the lawsuits be retracted by both parties? Only time will tell. 

Catch more of OG on 'Basketball Wives' Season 9 when it premieres on February 9, Tuesday at 8/7c. For more information, check your local listings.
