The social media landscape has taken a dramatic turn as Phyna, the former Big Brother Naija winner, finds herself locked out of her Instagram account. The platform suspended her page on Monday, escalating tensions in her very public dispute with influencer VeryDarkMan.
According to reports, the reality star had earlier accused VeryDarkMan of trying to manipulate public opinion against her after she declined his alleged sexual advances. In response, VeryDarkMan countered that seeking consent for intimacy between consenting adults is normal and challenged Phyna to provide evidence.
Attempting to substantiate her claims, Phyna shared screenshots of private conversations with VeryDarkMan on her Instagram page. However, within hours of posting, her account was no longer accessible, sparking widespread speculation online. Some netizens suggested she had deactivated her profile voluntarily, while others suspected platform enforcement.
Clearing the air, Phyna took to X (formerly Twitter) to set the record straight. She wrote, “I didn’t deactivate my IG. Deactivate say wetin happen na? It got suspended.” Her statement has since fueled further debate about the circumstances surrounding the suspension and the role of social media platforms in policing such disputes.
