Reality TV star Phyna has claimed that Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has distanced herself from her due to her connection with controversial influencer VeryDarkMan (VDM), whom she described as a “very dirty boy.”
During a recent livestream, Phyna explained that the shift in their relationship began after she publicly responded to a statement made by VDM. “The issues she was having… he was involved in them, so I tweeted to reply to VDM because he made a statement. But it was misunderstood. Since then, I feel mama doesn’t like me as much anymore. Before, she used to comment on my posts, she used to like them, but now she no longer likes or follows me. And I’m very sure it’s because of the dirty boy,” she said.
She added that the situation has also affected her interactions with others online. “It’s what I have to face. I even went as far as confronting him—not to insult, but I attacked her V.E.L because of this same dirty boy. I’ve had my fair share. I’ve fought a lot, and people have stopped talking to me. I remember when I posted something about the dirty boy again, Angel Big Brother… she commented in a way that showed she was clearly not happy with me at all,” Phyna explained.
Her claims have generated buzz on social media, with fans discussing the reported fallout between Phyna and Iyabo Ojo and debating the influence of VDM on their strained relationship.
