Nigerian reality TV sensation Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has opened up about her strained relationship with veteran actress Iyabo Ojo, attributing the fallout to her association with controversial social media figure VeryDarkMan (VDM).

During a candid Instagram Live session, Phyna expressed her observations about the actress’s sudden withdrawal of support, noting that Iyabo Ojo had previously been an active supporter, frequently engaging with her content.

The BBNaija star revealed that the actress’s abrupt silence on her posts coincided with her public connection to VDM, leading her to believe this was the root cause of the distance between them.

Phyna admitted feeling the shift in their dynamic, stating that Iyabo Ojo’s lack of engagement made her question their bond.

She also disclosed that her ties to VDM had broader consequences, sparking conflicts with other influencers and dragging her into unnecessary online drama.

“Mama used to show me love—commenting, liking my posts—but now, nothing. I know it’s because of that ‘dirty boy.’ I even ended up clashing with Vee Iyele over him,” Phyna confessed.

VeryDarkMan, real name Martins Otse, has built a reputation for stirring online controversies, often locking horns with celebrities and public figures.
