Big Brother Naija star, Hermes Iyele, has responded to Phyna’s claim that their co-star, Chichi, left her husband and children.

Keep in mind that on last night’s reunion show, BBNaija level-up winner, Phyna, claimed in a fit of rage that Chichi is a mother of two who left her children and husband in Benin City to hustle in Lagos.

This revelation caused a great deal of internet buzz, with many social media users questioning the authenticity of Phyna’s claim.

However, in a video posted on social media, Hermès dismissed Phyna’s claim as false.

According to him, he had a conversation with Chichi before the drama and she confirmed that the man and children in the viral photo that fueled the rumor were in fact her uncle and his children.

“First of all, I want to apologize for how the entire thing is misconstrued. I had a conversation with Chichi, and she told me that man is her uncle. She went to visit, and he took that picture.

”I asked why she didn’t tell her uncle to put out a disclaimer, and she said it will put them in a difficult situation because it was already difficult for them and her family members.

”I know for a fact that no one went out there to confirm anything. I was literally laughing at the impossibility of the entire situation. I was laughing because none of it was a fact,” he said.
