The controversy erupted after Phyna shared screenshots of alleged WhatsApp conversations online, claiming the activist had once attempted to initiate an intimate relationship with her.
According to the reality star, tensions between both public figures escalated after she declined the alleged request.
The Phyna VDM allegation quickly gained traction across social media platforms, where users debated the authenticity of the claims and the wider implications of using private grievances in public disputes.
Phyna further alleged that VeryDarkMan later used issues involving her sister and a controversy linked to Aliko Dangote to allegedly damage her public image after she turned him down.
The reality star described the alleged conduct as disappointing and accused the activist of weaponising personal matters in retaliation.
Neither VeryDarkMan nor his representatives had issued a formal response to the latest allegations at the time of filing this report.
The dispute has generated intense reactions online, with some users criticising the circulation of private chats while others argued that personal disagreements should not be used to influence public campaigns or narratives.
Observers also noted that allegations involving rejected advances and online retaliation often attract strong public attention because of concerns surrounding privacy, consent and misuse of influence in digital spaces.
Despite the heated reactions, no independent evidence has yet emerged publicly to verify the broader claims made by either side beyond the screenshots shared online.
