Phyna, the winner of Big Brother Naija’s “Level Up” season, faced backlash for her response to Wizkid’s verbal attack on Davido.
Wizkid has been publicly criticizing Davido for the past 24 hours, labeling him “untalented” and “wack,” while also issuing a curse. Despite Wizkid’s harsh words, Davido has not responded.
Phyna took to her X (formerly Twitter) page to praise Wizkid, affectionately referring to him as “my father”.
“Popsy” she tweeted.
Phyna’s tweet sparked backlash, with many commentators criticizing her for opportunistic behavior, accusing her of constantly inserting herself into popular controversies to stay relevant.

Phyna’s support for Wizkid comes after her publicized fallout with Davido, who had previously disassociated himself from her and even liked a tweet dismissing her fans as “useless”, leading to a rift between them.
Phyna responded to Davido’s actions by expressing hurt and confusion, asking what she had done to deserve his public disdain. However, she chose to interpret his actions as motivation to strive harder, trusting that God knows her true character.
Going on, Phyna found solace in an old video that surfaced online, showing Davido expressing frustration over not being recognized by a US show promoter. She also shared a post from Dammy Krane, who highlighted the hypocrisy of Davido denying knowledge of Phyna, yet getting upset when someone didn’t recognize him. Phyna seemingly took pleasure in the irony, feeling vindicated.
