"It's Because Of The Dirty Boy" - Phyna Opens Up On Why Iyabo Ojo Stopped Following Her 

By Oluwarantimi Oludase 

In a new revelation, controversial reality star, Josephina Otabor, better known as Phyna, has opened up on her fall-out with Nollywood, actress Iyabo Ojo.

Phyna, during her recent livestream on Twitch, shared that Iyabo Ojo used to be a fan of her, and actively engaged with her posts. She, however, shared that the movie star's withdrawal from her can be linked to her tweet about controversial activist, VeryDarkMan.

The ex-BBNaija housemate explained that she commented on VDM's post, and since then, Iyabo Ojo's engagement of her posts stopped drastically.

She said:
“She was having issues with V. So, I twitted to like replying to V because V made a statement but it was mistaken, and since then I think 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 she no longer follows me. And I’m very sure it’s because of the dirty boy but it’s one I have to face."

It is no longer news that Iyabo Ojo and VeryDarkMan are at loggerheads, with the duo involved in several online spats, and hurling insults and curses at themselves.
