He further accused her of making the case about money and of neglecting the biker who was also injured in the crash. Phyna, in turn, branded him a manipulator and a liar.
Ogbeide stated that Phyna only cried out to VeryDarkMan as a brother, not to help her drag Dangote.
"You removed sympathy from the family, Phyna. You caused people to hate her. People were calling a stressed woman a betrayer. You just have to fight because you are not in the forefront. She only cried out to you that bro, see what I am going through. She didn't say help me drag Dangote. I hope you are happy with yourself," she said in the video.
Sharing the video, Izzy Ogbeide, however, locked her comment section, preventing netizens from reacting.
