BBNaija S7: Amaka, Phyna friendship turn sour over Groovy
By Olusanya Funmilayo
It seems the bond between Amaka and Phyna is temporarily lost once again as the two had a bit of a vibe over cleaning space on Saturday morning.
Amaka insisted that she was not going to wash the bathroom and it was Phyna’s turn to do so today.
Barely six days after Beauty’s exit, Groovy seems to have moved on as he was seen cuddling under the duvet with Phyna on Friday night.
A video showing the moment Phyna returned to her bed in the morning sparked more conversation about the under-the-duvet incident between Groovy and Phyna that occurred that night.
Amaka, however, got upset when she found out Phyna slept on the same bed as Groovy. She told fellow housemate Ilebaye who also has feelings for Groovy and the former warned her against letting Groovy come in between her friendship with Phyna.
Before this, Phyna and Amaka, who had been housemates and friends, quarrel over Groovy due to their shared interests.
Amaka accuses her best friend in the house, Phyna of snatching Groovy.
Amaka and Phyna continued to ignore each other but while the housemates gathered in the garden and had a good time, Amaka told Chizzy, and Pharmsavi before Phyna that she went to help her get Groovy but rather decided to keep him for herself.
Even on Saturday evening during the Munch it game, Amaka who happens to be one of the team leaders did not choose her friend Phyna as a team member.
Nigerians are having a field day reacting to the trending video of Groovy and Phyna, getting intimate.
Groovy, whose love interest Beauty was disqualified a few days back because of him, has undoubtedly moved on so fast.
The reality stars were spotted cuddling and getting more intimate on their bed.
The video has caused a string online from BBNaija fans who expressed disappointment in Groovy for moving on so fast after Beauty’s disqualification and dragged Phyna for being deceptive.

BBNaija’s Eloswag Responds To Leaked Sextape
Eloswag, a former contestant on Big Brother Naija Season 7, has broken his silence following the release of his private video online.
The reality star reportedly uploaded a clip featuring himself and an unidentified woman on his Snapchat account at approximately 3 a.m. on Sunday.
Though Eloswag swiftly deleted the video, it had already caught the attention of the internet.
The explicit content quickly gained traction after being reposted by the controversial gossip blog, Gistlover, sparking widespread conversations across social media platforms.
In response to the incident, Eloswag took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his frustration and consider possible legal action.
In a now-deleted post, he wrote, “I mistakenly posted a video on my Snapchat by 3am and deleted it immediately, guess who has the video? GISTLOVER? How? Please, can I sue? Because it doesn’t make sense.”
