Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Phyna, is back in the news again but this time, not for a show, endorsement, or fashion slay. The internet went wild last night after a video of Phyna fighting in an Abuja hotel surfaced online. And trust Nigerians, the gist spread like wildfire!
According to reports, the whole scene started after a ₦200,000 payment dispute turned into a heated argument between Phyna and an unidentified lady. The argument, which began in her hotel room, quickly spilled into the lobby and before anyone could blink, hands started flying, wigs shifted, and chaos took over.
In the viral clip, Phyna was seen shouting and pushing while bystanders tried to separate them. Hotel security had to step in to restore calm, but not before the internet caught the drama live and loud.
Now, here’s where it gets even messier; Phyna later took to social media to explain her side of the story. According to her, she was ambushed and attacked from behind by someone who had allegedly stolen from her before, and this time, she wasn’t having it. She revealed that the person she fought with is currently hospitalized, insisting she didn’t get beaten but rather defended herself.
In her words, she’s not sorry for standing her ground and will be taking legal action once the other party recovers. She also mentioned that the viral video only shows parts of what really happened, calling it an “edited drama” cooked up to make her look bad.
The fight reportedly got so intense that hotel security had to use tear gas to calm the scene, leaving guests in shock and social media in meltdown.
Meanwhile, fans have mixed feelings while some are defending her, saying “Phyna na street girl, she no dey take nonsense,” others are disappointed, saying as a public figure, she should’ve handled things better.
This comes just weeks after the BBNaija winner lost her sister, Ruth, a heartbreak many believe could be affecting her emotionally.
As of now, there’s no official statement from the police, but Phyna has promised that “justice must be served.”
Love her or hate her, Phyna always finds a way to keep the spotlight and this Abuja hotel brawl might just be her most dramatic headline yet.
