Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Josephine Otabor, fondly addressed as Phyna, has responded to Davido’s recent claim of not knowing her. This comes after a tweet liked by Davido criticized Phyna, prompting her to accuse the singer of harboring ill feelings towards her.
The tweet in question, posted by an X user under the handle @47kasz, raised questions about why some individuals choose to support certain celebrities. Specifically, the user wondered why someone would admire Phyna.
After Davido’s response to the tweet gained widespread attention, Phyna took to her X platform to express her surprise. She wrote, “Wetin I do @davido? Na wah oh, The hate is real….., Congratulations on your twins sha.”
In response, Davido offered an explanation, stating, “Thank you love but I actually don’t know who you are .. and it was an honest mistake .. no vex.”
Davido’s statement garnered mixed reactions, with some commending him for not indulging in “clout chasing” and others criticizing him for denying a reality TV star who had won the Big Brother Naija show in 2022.
On her X account, Phyna expressed gratitude for being recognized by God. She wrote, “God knows me. Thank you Jesus. Make I sha go double my hustle.”
In a supportive gesture, former Big Brother Naija reality star, Tacha, reassured Phyna that she and many others are familiar with her, despite Davido’s assertion to the contrary. Tacha, who had been an ardent Davido fan, even sporting a tattoo of the singer on her chest during the Big Brother Naija ‘Pepper Dem’ season in 2019, revealed on her radio show some months ago that she chose to remove the tattoo for “personal reasons.”
This incident underscores the intricacies of celebrity interactions and how they are perceived by the public. The exchange between Phyna and Davido highlights the impact of social media on the relationships and reputations of public figures, demonstrating how a single response can reverberate across platforms, eliciting diverse reactions from fans and followers alike.
