Etinosa Idemudia fires back at Phyna
Taking to her Instagram page on October 2, 2026, Etinosa Idemudia expressed disbelief at being called out by someone she described as a former cast member on her set.
According to her, the messages Phyna labelled as "messing around in her DM" were nothing more than words of support and guidance.
"I can't believe Phyna called me out. All I have ever done is love and advice her right from when she was an actor on my set over 2 years ago. I guess she saw the advice as me running around in her DM. Can you imagine? I laughed over it in the ring but it's the audacity for me!! Edo no dey gbe Edo but this one will be a worthy exemption," Etinosa wrote.
