Phyna breaks silence on report of dating 19-year-old singer, Khaid
Reality TV personality Josephina Ijeoma Otabor, popularly recognized as Phyna, has responded to speculation regarding her relationship with 17-year-old singer Khaid.
Phyna and Khaid sparked dating rumors when they shared a close photo on social media earlier this year, drawing significant criticism due to the age disparity between the two.
However, in the latest episode of her podcast, “Spill With Phyna,” Phyna criticized societal double standards, particularly concerning the differing perceptions of men and women who choose younger partners.
She said:
“Me and this boy take picture; Khaid. He is young and the picture, I posted is. He posted it as well. Omo, if you see the dragging, ‘Oh Phyna, is this boy you’re dating now?’, ‘Oh Phyna is 30 years old, this boy is 10 years old.’
“It was so terrible that I was now wondering that in this country we have ladies who are married to way older men. So, I want to know the difference between being a younger man and being a younger girl. Why can’t we have the same balance, I thought they said age is just a number?”
