The Nigerian social media space is buzzing after Big Brother Naija ‘Level Up’ winner, Phyna, delivered a fiery response to Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday. The clash erupted after the actress publicly criticized the reality TV star, describing her online conduct as a nuisance.
How the Feud Ignited
The drama began when Nkechi Blessing took to her social media platform to question Phyna’s circle of friends, wondering if the reality star had anyone close enough to offer her sound advice. Nkechi went on to caution Phyna, reminding her of their age difference and warning her against showing disrespect.
Phyna Hits Back, Labels Actress ‘Grandma’
Unwilling to let the criticism slide, Phyna issued a scathing rebuttal. Expressing confusion over why the actress chose to drag her name into the spotlight, Phyna made it clear that they do not share a personal friendship or any ongoing professional relationship. She mockingly addressed Nkechi as “grandma” in reference to the age-gap comments.
Phyna went on to share details of their only known interaction, which she claims occurred about two months ago regarding a failed movie project.
The Behind-the-Scenes Movie Dispute
According to the reality star, Nkechi had contacted her about featuring in a film and requested her fee. The conversation reportedly fell through over pricing and communication speed.
“Nkechi reached out to me. She said we should do her film. She messaged me for the amount. When I told her, she said ₦1.5m was too much,” Phyna explained. “She said she doesn’t delay her job, that she sent me a message in the morning and I was just replying in the evening, so she had cast someone else. I apologized. No other conversation, no other chat. We are not friends.”
Phyna concluded her response by questioning why Nkechi chose to publicly target her unprovoked, promising to release screenshots of their direct messages to back up her claims. As the online debate intensifies, fans of both celebrities continue to clash over the unexpected feud.
