Josephina Otabor, the reality TV star, who is popularly known as Phyna, has sparked online reactions after being denied entry to the birthday party of 2025 Big Brother Naija winner, Imisi.
The incident happened at the event venue on Tuesday, January 27, 2026.
In the clip, Phyna appeared angry and embarrassed as she spoke about what happened at the entrance.
According to her account, she was prevented from going inside because she was livestreaming the event for her fans.
She explained that the organizers and security officials asked her to put down her camera before she could be allowed in, but she did not agree with the instruction.
Phyna said she felt the demand was unnecessary, especially since her intention was to support Imisi on her special day and not to cause any problem.
She believed she was treated unfairly and questioned why the rule seemed to apply only to her.
She also raised concerns about what she described as double standards, noting that other popular content creators or livestreamers might not have been treated the same way if they were in her position.
Security officials at the venue reportedly maintained that recording and filming were not allowed inside the party.
However, Phyna felt the rule was not enforced equally, which led to the tense moment at the entrance.
She said: “If na Speed or Peller come here, you go tell them to drop camera? I came here to support Imisi, not to cause any problem.
“You people are embarrassing me for no reason. Why is it only me you are stopping? These people said I should drop my camera before entering. I don’t understand why this rule is for me alone.”
