Phyna Fumes After Being Blocked from Imisi’s Birthday Bash

Reality TV star and Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Phyna, has voiced her frustration after being denied entry to the 24th birthday celebration of the 2025 BBNaija winner, Imisi. The incident, which occurred on Tuesday night at a premium venue in Lekki, quickly went viral after Phyna recorded her exchange with security and event organizers at the entrance.

The tension reportedly began when Phyna arrived at the all-black-themed event while livestreaming on her mobile device. Security personnel at the door stopped the “Level Up” winner, informing her that the event carried a strict “no filming” policy for guests to protect the privacy of the high-profile attendees. Phyna was instructed to put her camera away before entering, a demand she found insulting and targeted.

In the trending clip, a visibly agitated Phyna questioned why the rules seemed to apply solely to her. She argued that other content creators and public figures often livestream such events without being harassed. “You people are embarrassing me for no reason,” she fumed. “If it were Speed Darlington or Peller that came here with their cameras, would you tell them to drop it? I came here to support Imisi, not to cause trouble.”

Despite the explanation from the organizers that the policy was universal for the night, Phyna remained adamant that she was being singled out. She expressed disappointment that what was meant to be a show of solidarity for a fellow winner turned into a public spectacle at the gates. The reality star noted that as a former winner herself, she expected a level of professional courtesy that she felt was missing.

The birthday girl, Imisi, who was celebrating her first major milestone since winning the “10/10” season in October 2025, was reportedly unaware of the drama at the door while hosting other stars like Broda Shaggi, Bisola Aiyeola, and Nkechi Blessing inside. While some social media users supported Phyna’s stance against “double standards,” others criticized her for failing to respect the private boundaries set by the event planners.

Phyna eventually left the venue without entering, later taking to her social media to reiterate that her intention was purely to celebrate with Imisi. The incident has once again sparked a conversation about the friction between event privacy and the “always-on” content culture of reality TV stars.
