DeeOne, a comedian and former Big Brother Naija contestant, has rejected charges made by Josephine Otabor, aka Phyna, another former reality show housemate, that he is gay, detailing how she came up with her assertion.
Phyna labelled DeeOne gay after he refuted her claim on her podcast, Spill With Phyna, that she turned down a N5 million proposition for sex at a nightclub. In response to his video, she stated that she would not exchange words with a gay man.
Their coworker, Chizzy Francis, warned DeeOne via X, encouraging him to learn to mind his own business.
He wrote, “Deeone, my brother, how are you?
“I swear that phyna matter way you put mouth no concern you at all. You are a guy for goodness sake, learn how to mind your business.”
Phyna then reacted via the comment section: “My bro I see am oh But I confuse, Men and women I have fought and rumbled but a gay mannn!!!!!!!huh.”
Responding to her claims that he is gay, DeeOne said, “I just saw a tweet where Phyna leaked my sexuality and said that I’m gay. I didn’t want it to come out before. And I think she said that because of my video criticising her claim of rejecting N5m for sex. I told you that I believed you but you still decided to do that to me.
“I don’t condemn gay people. Anything you do is fine. I’m not going to be the judge of that. But the only reason why Phyna is privileged to this information is because I had something to do with her dad and she was there. I invited her as the hypewoman.”
DeeOne, however, said his reaction was just to mock Phyna, adding that he doesn’t want to “fight with a woman.”
