Big Brother Naija star and media personality Phyna has publicly called out a Lagos restaurant after they denied her entry, citing her indecent dressing as the reason for the rejection.
Phyna, who has been known for her bold and expressive style, shared her experience on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). In a post that accompanied a video of her outfit, she expressed her frustration over being turned away from the restaurant for her attire.
In the post, Phyna detailed the incident, revealing that she was wearing a black gown with a backless design that exposed her chest and cleavage. She described the restaurant’s action as shocking and posted about it in a lighthearted yet frustrated tone, saying, “So I went to have dinner at one CALI RESTAURANT Abi what they call the place 😂😂😂 omo they said I’m dressed indecently and I can’t enter o. WTF!!!!!”
The incident quickly sparked a lively debate online, with many fans and critics weighing in on the matter. While some sided with Phyna, arguing that she has the right to express herself through her clothing, others emphasized the importance of adhering to dress codes, especially in specific establishments. Phyna's supporters were particularly vocal, defending her right to dress as she pleases regardless of traditional or cultural expectations. One user, @iknownimos, commented, “What’s wrong with the dressing, I think people are still stuck with that African mentality. Anyways, it’s the restaurant loss, I hope they said it in a polite manner. If not, you sue.”
However, others took a more critical stance, believing that certain environments require more modest dressing. User @viktorbensonyt added, “At the peak of status, you will find that decency is a core virtue. Nobody wants to see your breast and nyash in a place of business and financial negotiations.”
The restaurant’s decision to turn Phyna away has become a point of contention, with varying opinions on what constitutes appropriate attire in public spaces and establishments. As the debate continues to unfold, Phyna’s bold response and the reactions of her fans and critics have kept the conversation alive on social media.
