Life in the public eye has a way of revealing how fragile relationships can be, and Nigerian reality TV star Phyna is learning that in real time. During a recent live session with her followers, the former BBNaija winner opened up about a noticeable shift in her relationship with Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, and how it has affected her emotionally.
According to Phyna, Iyabo Ojo was once very supportive of her journey, frequently liking and commenting on her social media posts. Over time, that support quietly faded. No confrontation, no explanation, just distance. Phyna shared that the change made her reflect deeply, especially because she believes the shift is connected to her association with controversial social media activist VeryDarkMan, popularly known as VDM.
Speaking honestly, Phyna admitted that the situation made her feel like the affection and warmth she once received from Iyabo Ojo was no longer there. For her, it wasn’t just about social media engagement, but about what it represented: support, goodwill, and genuine connection.
She also revealed that the impact went beyond just one relationship. Her link with VDM, she said, pulled her into unnecessary online clashes and conflicts with other influencers, situations she would normally avoid. One of those moments escalated into a public disagreement with fellow reality TV star Vee Iyele, something Phyna later acknowledged came from being caught in the heat of online drama.
“I feel mama doesn’t like me that much again because before she used to comment on my posts, she used to like it, now she no longer likes it, and I’m very sure it’s because of that dirty boy,” Phyna said during the live session. “I even went as far as attacking Vee Iyele because of that dirty boy.”
Beyond the headlines, Phyna’s story highlights a deeper truth many people can relate to: sometimes, who you are associated with can quietly change how people see and treat you. In a digital world where loyalty is often tested publicly, her experience is a reminder that growth sometimes comes with loss, and not every relationship survives every season.
For many fans, Phyna’s honesty has sparked conversations about boundaries, personal choices, and learning when to step back for peace of mind. In the end, her story isn’t just celebrity news; it’s a reflection of how navigating relationships, especially online, can shape who we become.
