Josephina Otabor, the BBNaija Level-up winner, who is also known as Phyna has bragged about making Davido popular following their saga on the X app.
She claimed to have made the “unavailable” crooner available by making him famous because of Davido’s earlier statement that he didn’t know who she was.
The feud began when Davido accidentally liked a tweet that was critical of Phyna’s fans.
Phyna called out the singer over this incident.
In an attempt to make amends, Davido explained that it was an unintentional action and that he was not familiar with who Phyna was.
In response to the incident, Phyna decided to speak out on her Instagram live session, comparing Davido’s actions to those of people who had previously bullied artist Mohbad.
During the live session, she shared her perspective and seemed determined to address the situation.
Taking to her Twitter page now called X, Phyna proudly expressed her victory, declaring that she had “made the UNAVAILABLE AVAILABLE.”
She appeared to be reveling in her ability to get a response from Davido, despite his earlier claims of ignorance.
She wrote: “I like the tears from the live. Mind aired, case closed. I made the UNAVAILABLE AVAILABLE”.
Popular Nigerian rapper and singer, Odumodublvck has opened up on why he turned down a suggestion from his team to meet with his colleague, Davido when he started his career.
The rapper during a recent interview with CTRL Room explained that his team wanted him to affiliate with Davido in 2019 so he could become famous but he refused.
He said instead, he gravitated toward UK grime stars whose genre aligned with his vision.
Odumodublvck said, “In 2019, someone [in my team] said we should go to Lagos and meet Davido. But I was like, ‘What will Davido do for me? Even if Davido takes me to America and puts me on stage and I’m rapping my stuff, his fans won’t understand because they are afrobeats fans.’
“But these guys: Teezee, BOJ, and Sholz, are the pipeline to the UK market. And those are the closest guys I sound like internationally. So why don’t I follow that route to get to wherever I want to get to?’
“I was like, I don’t need Davido for anything now. Let me follow people that align with my vision. And that was how we just came together and we’re here now. Number one in the country against all odds. Tell them, they’ve to respect that thing. Because we went for an award show and we didn’t even have seats. They don’t respect hip-hop in Nigeria. They don’t respect us.”
Afrobeats star, Davido has showered his wife, Chioma Rowland with gifts after she gave birth to twins in the United States.
He gifted her with multiple designer bags worth over $100,000.
Recall that the celebrity couple welcomed a set of twins in Atlanta United States in some days ago.
This comes one year after they lost their son, Ifeanyi Adeleke who passed away in October 2022.
Photos of the elegant bags have also circulated round various social media platforms.

Davido, the world-famous afrobeat musician, has slammed popular singer and producer Samklef for allegedly leaking the video of his wife and their newborn twins on the internet.
Recall that the clip of Davido and Chioma with their twins leaving the United States hospital went viral on Friday.
Congratulating the family, singer Samklef also shared the video on his handle.
However, reacting to the trend, Davido, who hasn’t announced the birth, took to his Instagram page to berate Samklef, for allegedly leaking the clip.
He wrote: “Delete pls, ur a wicked person. U know u’re not meant to post this. Wtf. F*cking clout chaser.”
Responding to the accusation a few minutes later, Samklef clarified that he saw the video on X platform.
“Me and @Davido are kool. Davido initially believed I was the one who leaked the video after our DM conversation. However, I clarified that I obtained the video from the public domain on Twitter. Wishing blessings upon your home and family.”
