Phyna Files ₦500 Million Lawsuit Against Carter Efe Over Sex Allegation
Big Brother Naija Level‑Up winner Phyna has taken legal action against Nigerian streamer Carter Efe, demanding ₦500 million in damages over allegations of a sexual relationship. The suit follows a heated exchange in which Carter Efe reportedly admitted to having sex with her.
Details of the Allegation and Online Confrontation
The controversy began when Carter Efe claimed he had been sexually involved with Phyna. In a viral video, Phyna confronted him, asking, “Me and you f*ck?” to which he replied, “Yes. I will bring the whole evidence come outside.” She responded, “Thank you very much. You and Davrel will hear from my lawyer.”
Phyna’s Instagram Live Statement
During an Instagram Live session on Thursday night, Phyna apologised to her fans and confirmed that she had filed suit against both Carter Efe and another individual named Davrel. She explained that while she had tolerated criticism in the past, allegations concerning her personal and sexual life had crossed a line.
Phyna said she had realised that reacting emotionally often made her appear at fault, and she would now rely on legal means to defend her reputation. She urged Carter Efe and Davrel to check their emails and WhatsApp for the legal notice.
Carter Efe Confirms the Lawsuit
Shortly after Phyna’s live address, Carter Efe shared a video online confirming that he had indeed been served with a ₦500 million lawsuit. He did not dispute the claim, reinforcing the seriousness of the legal proceedings.
The case highlights a growing trend among Nigerian celebrities who are turning to the courts to address defamatory statements made on social media platforms.
