What started as wedding bells ended in blocked numbers, Instagram unfollows, and a public war of words. The triangle? Israel DMW, his ex-wife Sheila Courage, and BBNaija’s drama magnet Phyna. Let’s unpack this spicy saga.
Church Wedding, Public Circus – The Beginning of the End
Israel and Sheila’s wedding had all the makings of a fairytale—celeb-studded guest list, custom aso ebi, and the Davido-powered clout. But just months later, the whispers began: things weren’t rosy behind the camera filters.
Sheila, who once gushed about “standing beside her king,” suddenly vanished from the DMW radar. Speculation flew, but nobody expected the quiet bride to one day become the centre of a public storm.

Then came Phyna. A reality star known for her mouth, her moves, and her mission to stay trending. She and Sheila linked up in Mauritius, snapping photos, posting “soft life” videos, and sharing girly heart-to-hearts. Fans were living for it… until Israel wasn’t.
Phyna’s friendship with his ex clearly struck a nerve.
WhatsApp Warning Gone Wrong – Israel Moves to Private DM
Israel slid into Phyna’s WhatsApp, not to gist or greet, but to warn. In his words, “Stop clout chasing with my ex-wife,” and “You’re ruining your market.”
Wrong move.
Phyna screenshot the chat, dropped it like a diss track on X, and all hell broke loose.
Phyna Unfiltered – “Broke Houseboy Always Begging!”
In true Phyna fashion, she didn’t hold back. She called Israel a “disgrace to Edo men,” “a man with no job,” and even mocked him for constantly shouting Davido’s name like a national anthem.
She asked the question many had whispered: “Is your job really logistics or just loyalty?”
Israel Fires Back, Leaks Her Number – Petty Meets Desperate
Not to be outdone, Israel leaked Phyna’s personal number—an online felony in some countries, but apparently fair game in celebrity Nigeria.
He ranted about her “ungratefulness” and tried to remind fans that he didn’t just “friend” Davido, he served him like a god. But amidst the clapbacks, he also apologized—to Davido. Not Sheila. Not Phyna. Just OBO.
Split with Sheila, No Closure in Sight
As for Sheila? Silent but not absent. While she didn’t drop quotes or clapbacks, her alliance with Phyna sent a message. She’d picked her side—and it wasn’t the one with wedding photos.
Sources close to her hinted that the marriage had “emotional manipulation,” “unmet expectations,” and “too many cameras, not enough communication.”
Davido Caught in the Crossfire?
Though Davido kept quiet publicly, insiders claim he wasn’t thrilled about his name being dragged through a messy feud. Israel’s groveling apology came swiftly after.
Funny how loyalty can look like liability when gist goes global.
Final Word – Real Beef or Just PR Clout?
Some fans swear this is all staged for attention. Others are convinced it’s just raw, unfiltered drama. One thing’s for sure: when it comes to Nigeria’s celebrity streets, friendship, marriage, and fame mix like petrol and lighter.
Stay tuned. The group chat is still on fire.
