BBNaija Level Up winner Phyna has waded into one of the loudest online fights of the moment: the running feud between Afrobeats star Davido and social media activist VeryDarkMan, popularly called VDM. Her contribution, shared on X on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, has quickly become a talking point of its own.
According to Legit.ng, the reality TV star framed the post as "inspirational" words and wrote it in Nigerian Pidgin. The exact wording of the post was not reproduced in the report's text, but the publication said many online read it as a pointed dig at VDM's stated position in his latest exchange with Davido.
How the Davido and VDM row heated up again
Phyna's post landed in the middle of a fresh round of hostilities between the singer and the activist. The latest flare-up reportedly began at Zlatan Ibile's wedding, where Davido was caught on camera singing along with gusto to lyrics that referenced past comments VDM had made about self-pleasure.
VDM did not let it slide. He publicly mocked the singer and fired back that he is not "David Adeleke wey dey beg for intimacy", using Davido's real name. According to Legit.ng, the activist added that he would rather take care of himself than go down on his knees begging a woman for intimacy.
He also teased a new song titled "On My Knees", which reportedly borrows elements associated with Zlatan, the same artiste whose wedding sparked this latest round. The track has been described as a diss record aimed at Davido.
Why Phyna's post was seen as taking sides
Against that backdrop, Legit.ng reported that readers widely interpreted Phyna's words as implicitly backing the idea of a man who begs, the very scenario VDM had ridiculed, over the alternative he said he preferred. In other words, many fans saw the post as quietly siding with Davido's camp, although it is not clear from the report that she named either man directly.
There is also history here. Phyna and VDM have clashed publicly before, with the two trading personal allegations in previous exchanges, which helps explain why so many people were quick to read her latest post as a shot in his direction.
Fans divided
Reactions came in almost immediately and pulled in two directions. Some users agreed with the sentiment Phyna expressed, while others took her to task for stepping into a quarrel they felt had nothing to do with her. As the saying goes, when two elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers, and some fans clearly felt she had no business standing on that grass.
As of the Legit.ng report, there was no indication that either Davido or VDM had responded to Phyna's post.
