Former Big Brother Naija winner Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has initiated legal proceedings against content creator Carter Efe, demanding ₦500 million in damages over allegations that the two had an intimate relationship.

The reality TV star also confirmed that legal action has been taken against popular streamer Davrel following a series of online exchanges that escalated into personal accusations. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

The controversy began after Davrel alleged that Carter Efe had made derogatory remarks about Phyna during an online conversation.

Reacting to the claims, Phyna confronted Davrel over an alleged unpaid debt, triggering a heated exchange between the pair.

As the argument intensified, Davrel accused the reality star of making advances toward him and further claimed that she had asked to be introduced to his father.

The online drama took another turn when Carter Efe, during a separate social media confrontation, alleged that he had previously had an intimate relationship with Phyna.

When Phyna challenged the statement by asking whether they had ever been involved, Carter Efe insisted on his claim and said he would provide evidence publicly.

Phyna immediately responded by stating that both Carter Efe and Davrel would be hearing from her legal representatives.

Speaking during an Instagram Live session on Thursday night, Phyna disclosed that legal documents had already been served on both Carter Efe and Davrel.

She said the recent controversy had forced her to rethink how she handles public disputes and announced that she would now rely on legal channels rather than social media confrontations.

According to the BBNaija star, the allegations had damaged her reputation and crossed personal boundaries she considers unacceptable.

She also apologised to her supporters, admitting that her reactions to previous online controversies may have contributed to negative public perceptions.

Phyna explained that while she has endured criticism in the past, allegations relating to her private life and sexual conduct were lines she would not allow anyone to cross.

She added that the recent incident marked the end of her approach of responding emotionally to online attacks, saying she would instead pursue accountability through the courts.

With legal processes now reportedly served on both Carter Efe and Davrel, the dispute appears set to move beyond social media into the courtroom.

Neither Carter Efe nor Davrel has publicly responded to Phyna’s announcement about the lawsuit at the time of filing this report.

The case is expected to attract significant attention within Nigeria’s entertainment industry, as it raises fresh conversations about online defamation, celebrity reputation, and accountability for statements made on social media.

Regional autonomy? I'm just hearing about that for the first time. That would be great if it truly scales up and works in practice.

The case is expected to attract significant attention within Nigeria’s entertainment industry, as it raises fresh conversations about online defamation, celebrity reputation, and accountability for statements made on social media.

I was even too generous in my submission, I was saying 500k. You are a wicked man o

That’s serious, 500 million. Flexing mode activated

Every new Big Brother season, Phyna starts her madness to make sure people don’t forget her. Something is wrong with this woman, I swear.

The recurring controversies surrounding many former Big Brother Naija (BBN) housemates are one reason some people argue that the show contributes little in terms of moral or economic value. From Phyna, Mercy, Bisola, and others, they often make headlines for controversies rather than achievements.

In contrast, it is rare to see former participants of Gulder Ultimate Search trending on social media for the wrong reasons.

This lady just dey find where to get money, after she don spend BBN money anyhow

What she did is how developed countries settle disputes.

Here’s she's going to be a sensation! Just imagine the hype when we finally announce them sex tape is ready for court. It's going to be a smash hit, no doubt. And she's definitely going to win big, right? It's all about the money, of course!?

What an influencer
When someone is just finding all means to hit it big but God is just saying it can't work
