Former Big Brother Naija 'Level Up' winner, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has set the internet abuzz following a recent livestream session on her new Twitch channel. The reality TV star captivated viewers with her unique and expressive dance moves, sparking a wave of reactions across social media platforms.
Abstract Moves to Kolomental Captivate Fans
The viral moment occurred during a livestream on January 13, 2026, where Phyna decided to entertain her growing audience. She danced to the popular hit song 'Kolomental' by Faze, showcasing an abstract and highly individual style that left many viewers both amused and impressed.
A short clip from this session quickly made its way to X (formerly Twitter), where it gained massive traction. Fans and followers flooded the platform with their observations, with reactions ranging from pure admiration to humorous concern.
Mixed Reactions from Fans and Followers
The online community was divided in their response to Phyna's performance. Some users praised her hustle and dedication to creating engaging content, while others found the dance moves unconventional.
One X user, @ms_ritagold, commented, "I’m not her fan right from BBN but seeing this, just made me respect her. She had other options like, pretty girl/celebrity privileges but she chose to hustle!!!"
Another user, @high_spirit001, simply stated, "It’s Cringe until it works." Meanwhile, a different fan urged others to pray for the upcoming actress, highlighting the intense scrutiny that often accompanies viral fame.
Other notable reactions included:
- @nma_posh_: "When I see people do things I can't do to make ends meet. I always admire them... So far it pays her bills I will cheer her on."
- @christabel_egbeama: "She took 'carry your business on your head' seriously."
- @honeyojukwu: "Lol, someone is doing what she has seen will pay her in this country that hardly helps serious-minded people..."
Phyna's Candid Warning About BBNaija's 'Dark Side'
Beyond the dance frenzy, Phyna used her platform to deliver a sobering reality check for anyone dreaming of instant fame through Big Brother Naija. During the same livestream, she revealed why she no longer advises people to audition for the show.
Phyna argued that the celebrity status gained on the show is often fleeting. She explained that the fan excitement that propels contestants to stardom is short-lived, and the same fan base often shifts its loyalty to new housemates each season.
"The steeze housemates do have on the show, they don’t have it again," she stated bluntly. "It’s the same fan base that move from one to another. No new people. Nothing new."
She strongly criticised the public misconception that BBNaija guarantees overnight success and a life of luxury. According to Phyna, many former contestants struggle privately with financial and mental health challenges while facing immense pressure to maintain a successful image on social media.
"The show has lost credibility compared to the way it was before," she claimed, adding that being a former housemate no longer commands the same respect it once did.
Her warning was clear: prospective contestants must understand the weight of public scrutiny and the post-show challenges before entering the house, as the televised glamour is far from everyday reality.
Ready to Mend Fences with Davido
In a related development from the livestream, Phyna expressed a desire to end her long-standing feud with Afrobeats superstar, Davido. The disagreement, which played out on social media nearly two years ago, was a notable celebrity clash.
Phyna revealed that time and maturity have shifted her perspective. She stated her readiness for a proper conversation to resolve the issues and understand what truly transpired, indicating a move towards reconciliation.
This incident follows another recent viral moment where Phyna called out Davido's aide, Israel DMW, over his treatment of his ex-wife, Shelia.
Phyna continues to remain a prominent figure in the Nigerian entertainment landscape, leveraging platforms like Twitch to connect directly with fans, share unfiltered opinions, and build her brand beyond the confines of reality TV.
