Phyna Fires Back at Nkechi Blessing, Shares Reason for Their Beef, Elicits Reactions
Former Big Brother Naija winner Phyna has fired back at Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday following a public clash between the two entertainers on social media.
The drama began on Thursday, September 17, 2026, after Nkechi Blessing posted a video criticising Phyna over what she described as the reality star’s habit of engaging in online confrontations.
Nkechi questioned why Phyna appeared to be constantly involved in disagreements with people online and urged her to be more restrained in her interactions. She also reminded Phyna that she is 37 and older than her.
In the video, Nkechi Blessing accused Phyna of “fighting with everybody” and advised her to calm down.
The actress also questioned whether Phyna had people around her who could correct her when necessary.
Nkechi said she had previously been involved in online drama herself but claimed that stepping away from such confrontations had given her more peace.
Her comments quickly attracted attention online, with many social media users anticipating a response from Phyna.
Phyna eventually responded, questioning why Nkechi Blessing had chosen to address her publicly.
According to the reality star, the two are not friends and their last conversation was connected to a movie project.
Phyna explained that Nkechi had contacted her about featuring in a movie and asked for her rate card. She said she did not respond until later that evening.
By then, according to Phyna, Nkechi had already decided to cast another person because she did not want the production to be delayed.
Phyna said she apologised for the delayed response and believed that was the end of the matter. She subsequently questioned why the actress later brought the issue to social media.
Phyna did not hold back in her response.
The reality star questioned whether Nkechi was trying to gain attention from the situation and repeatedly referred to the actress as “grandma.”
She also described the situation as a form of bullying and expressed frustration that an issue she considered resolved had resurfaced publicly.
Phyna further indicated that she could share screenshots of their previous conversation to provide her version of what happened.
The exchange has generated mixed reactions among fans and followers.
While some users criticised Phyna for the manner in which she responded to an older colleague, others defended the BBNaija star and argued that Nkechi Blessing’s initial public criticism naturally invited a response.
Some commenters also questioned why the disagreement was being handled publicly instead of through a private conversation.
The reactions underline the divided opinions surrounding celebrity confrontations on social media, where a disagreement between two public figures can quickly become a wider online debate.
For now, both entertainers have presented their own sides of the disagreement, with Phyna maintaining that the matter dates back to a misunderstanding over a movie opportunity, while Nkechi Blessing’s public criticism focused more broadly on Phyna’s conduct online.
The dispute has continued to attract attention from entertainment followers as both women remain active figures in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
