BBNaija’s Phyna addresses claim she has a child, considers opening strip club
Phyna, the 2022 Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) winner, has petitioned the police over an allegation that she failed to return a rented wig.

Last December, Phyna was in the public eye after a hair vendor claimed she rented a high-end wig but kept it beyond the terms agreed.

Phyna initially denied the allegations but later admitted renting the wig.

She claimed that the wig was returned after she was called out, but the hair vendor rejected it. She also revealed that she was invited by the Ogudu police division.

But in a letter shared on Wednesday via her Instagram page, Phyna, born Josephine Otabor, called on the police to investigate the matter.

In the letter, the reality star claimed she “was bullied, insulted, and embarrassed” on social media over the allegations.

Phyna also requested that police should help “bring the culprit to book” instead of her “taking laws into my hand”.

“With profound respect to the office of the DCP State CID, Panti, I wish to officially uses this medium to report the nefarious activities of Damilola Olaore of the beauty hair… and others,” she wrote.

“That on the 10 of December 2023, 1 had a movie premia by Funke Akindele at 1 Max Cinema Lekki phase 1 Lagos and I needed a hair stylist to do my hair for me to enable me participate in the acting of the movies which I contacted a fashion stylist one Teniola Azeez Olalekan and I had a transaction with him and I paid for his services.

“As a celebrity and actress my fans saw my name on internet and other social media where… named dbeautyhair, posting and texting bloggers on internet via Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp causing insults, assassinating my good name and character thereby putting my brand, image and goodwill into jeopardy.

“As a law-abiding citizen, I don’t want to take laws into my hand therefore, I want the police to investigate and bring the culprit to book, while copies of the postings are hereby attached.

“I will be grateful if the DCP can use his good office to bring justice to this matter.”

But in a follow-up post, the reality star shared another document which appeared to be a letter of apology from the hair vendor.

Phyna’s letter to the police has since triggered reactions on social media, with users commenting on the grammatical and spelling errors.

“I hope say no be real lawyer draft this thing “Air”for hair “Am actress” “Premia”,” a user wrote.

Why I Don’t Support Disrespectful Wives—Nollywood Star

Funke Akindele, the Nigerian filmmaker, says despite being a feminist, she does not encourage women being disrespectful to their husbands.

A feminist is someone who advocates the political, economic, and social equality of women.

In a video addressing skit maker Kamo State and his wife, the filmmaker said she rejects the notion that women are the “weaker sex,” emphasising that they are “strong and bold”.

She urged men to treat women “specially” and not confine them to traditional roles of being in the kitchen.

She further stressed the importance of women’s economic power, advising them to secure financial independence to support their husbands.

“I’m a feminist but I do not support a woman disrespecting her husband. Do what is right,” she said.

“I believe that we are not the weaker sex or vessel. Men are suppose to treat us specially and respect us. Men should not also feel that a woman belongs to the kitchen and can be talked to anyhow.

“We women are strong, and bold. Also, our economic power is important that is why we should make sure we have the power and protect it so we can support our husbands.”

Akindele and producer Abdulrasheed ‘JJC Skillz’ Bello tied the knot in London in 2016 and welcomed a set of twin boys in 2018.

But in June 2022, JJC Skillz announced his separation from Akindele, citing “irreconcilable differences”.

The singer claimed he tried to address the situation but the matter is now “beyond repair.”
