Reality TV star Phyna has addressed the widely circulated video capturing her in a physical altercation at an Abuja hotel on Tuesday.

The confrontation, reportedly sparked by a dispute over an unpaid N200,000 debt, began in Phyna’s hotel room and escalated into a chaotic brawl in the hotel lobby, involving associates of both parties.

The 20-second viral clip, shared across platforms like X and Instagram, shows an unidentified woman engaging Phyna physically while bystanders attempt to intervene.

On Wednesday night, Phyna, on Instagram denied claims that she was overpowered and acted in self-defense against an orchestrated attack.

“Who I beat dey hospital, dem carry touts come fight and people to record,” she posted in Pidgin English, alleging the video was selectively edited to distort the narrative.

Claiming the woman involved was hospitalised, she added: “I was attacked from behind on my way out. Dem even crop the video just to twist story say dem beat me. Make una rest!

“The girl wey l beat never even regain consciousness. Una dey mad! Pray for me make who I beat no die abeg.”

Phyna attributed the clash to ongoing theft by the individual, stating, “I no get joy for anybody when I know say dem dey thief from me.”

The incident followed Phyna’s recent loss of her sister, Ruth Otabor, in a truck accident in August 2025.
