Phyna Denies Saying She Has Not Received BBNaija Winner’s N100 Million Prize Money (Video)

Reality star Josephine Ijioma Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has denied claims that she has not received her N100 million grand prize for winning the 2022 Big Brother Naija reality show.

Recall that Phyna called out the organisers in 2023, claiming that she was yet to receive all the prizes she won on the show.

After series of statements from both Phyna’s team and BBN organisers, the matter left the public space, making fans to believe it has been resolved.

However, recently a video, wherein Phyna allegedly said she was yet to receive her prize money, started trending again.

Addressing the viral video, during recent livestream on Twitch, Phyna stated that the video was cut with a malicious intent, stressing that she only stated in the full video that those mocking her for turning to a streamer despite winning N100 million years ago, never supported her when she was fighting for the prize money to me released to her.

“They keep cutting my video, I never said I have not received my 100 million naira. I was only talking to people who asked me if the 100 million naira has finished,” she said.

Phyna noted that the “malicious” video almost triggered a legal battle between her and the reality show organisers who were not pleased to hear that she said she hasn’t received her prize money.

She explained that she had to explain to the organisers that the video was cut, and urged them to check out the full video on Twitch for confirmation.

She urged bloggers to stop cutting her videos to twist her statements, threatening that she would sue any blogger who cut her video if she got into any legal issue as a result.

She repeatedly stated that the situation was wrong and unacceptable, calling for senior police authorities to be contacted to confirm whether such actions were allowed.

The reality star mentioned plans to reach out to police command officials and other senior contacts to report the incident.

She warned her driver not to engage physically with the officers while continuing to voice her anger over what she described as unprofessional behaviour.

I Gained Nothing From Her — VeryDarkMan Fires Back At Phyna

Popular social media influencer VeryDarkMan, popularly known as VDM, has responded after reality TV personality Phyna described him as a “Very Dirty Boy” and blamed him for the collapse of her relationship with actress Iyabo Ojo.

Phyna had earlier claimed that her closeness to VeryDarkMan significantly contributed to the strain between her and Iyabo Ojo.

In a detailed public response, VeryDarkMan said he was deeply disappointed by the accusation, maintaining that his support for Phyna was always sincere and without conditions.

He explained that he consistently showed up for the former reality star at different stages of her career, including reposting promotions for her movies and offering guidance on both personal and professional issues.

According to VDM, he made himself accessible whenever Phyna reached out whether she needed advice, paid promotional support, or help with family-related concerns stressing that he often listened and assisted without expecting anything in return.

He also questioned what benefit he personally derived from the relationship, emphasizing that his actions were motivated by loyalty and goodwill, not personal gain.

Reflecting on a past controversy, VeryDarkMan hinted that greed and certain choices eventually strained the relationship, adding that several people who once supported and promoted Phyna have since stepped back as public interest in her waned.

She Even Unfollowed Me – BBNaija Star, Phyna Reveals Why Iyabo Ojo No Longer Supports Her (Video)

Popular Nigerian Reality TV star, Josephina Otabor, who is better known as Phyna, has explained why actress Iyabo Ojo no longer interacts with her as before.

Phyna said the actress stepped back from supporting her because of her link with social media activist VeryDarkMan, also known as VDM.

She shared this view during a live session with her followers on social media, where she spoke about changes she noticed in Iyabo Ojo’s behaviour toward her.

According to Phyna, Iyabo Ojo once showed regular support by liking and commenting on her posts online.

Phyna added that the situation made her feel that Iyabo no longer had the same affection for her as before.

She further stated that the issue did not only affect her relationship with Iyabo Ojo but also caused problems with other people online.

Phyna revealed that her link with VDM led to clashes with some influencers and even pushed her into online arguments she would normally avoid.

“I feel mama doesn’t like me that much again because before she used to comment on my posts, she used to like it, now she no longer likes it and I’m very sure it’s because of that d!rty boy.

“I even went as far as attacking Vee Iyele because of that dirty boy,” Phyna said.

Phyna Reveals Why She Won’t Advise Anyone To Go For BBNaija (Video)

Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Phyna, has disclosed that she no longer encourages anyone to audition for the popular reality TV show.

She shared that even though the show can bring quick fame, the attention given to housemates usually fades once they leave the house.

Phyna during a livestream on Twitch said that many fans simply move on to the next set of contestants each season, which makes it hard for ex-housemates to maintain the same level of attention they once had during the show.

She also shared that the value people once attached to being a BBNaija star is no longer the same as before, as public perception has changed over time.

According to her, many people believe that life after the show means instant success, but this is not always the case.

She explained that a lot of former housemates struggle quietly, even though social media may paint a different picture filled with luxury and comfort.

Phyna said that the real experience outside the house is often very different from the glam viewers see on screen.

For this reason, she said anyone planning to audition should fully understand the pressure that comes with fame and the tough reality that may follow after the season ends.

She said: “The steeze housemates do have on the show they don’t have it again, because it’s the same fan base that move from one to another, no new people, nothing new. It’s just the same people.

“And that aside, the show has lost credibility compared to the way it was before, because when you tell someone now that I came out of BBNaija, they won’t rate you like they do then.”

Don’t Handle Your Family Feud Like I Did – BBNaija Star, Phyna Advises Imisi

Phyna, the Nigerian reality TV star, has shared words of support with fellow Big Brother Naija winner Imisi as she navigates a public dispute with her mother.

In an X post on Monday, Phyna wrote, ”To Imisi, @imisiofficial and to anyone walking through the same fire… I’m praying for your strength.

“My own experience broke me, but I’m slowly rising.

“And I’m rooting for you with everything in me, don’t handle it like I did, build strong and focus on you baby girl.”

The post comes against the backdrop of a family dispute in which Imisi’s mother accused her daughter of hatred and revealed the poor condition of the home where she currently lives, despite Imisi winning N150 million after her Big Brother victory.

Imisi replied in Yoruba, ”This is why Aunty Debola said you should not show your face to the world. I can’t be saying all that now, you are in the midst of people. Just overlook everything and leave social media.

“Don’t worry, I will send you money to rent a new house. I am tired of all this drama. I am still recovering from the stress of Big Brother.

“Should I be facing another stress now? Please forgive me, I am your daughter.”

Recall Imisi’s mother has publicly expressed frustration on social media, saying she does not need her daughter’s money after being sidelined following the win.

She also blamed Imisi for recounting her childhood experiences, which she claims involve untrue allegations of parental neglect and sexual assault.

In a video, she showed the old house she currently resides in, saying she is content with her situation, a revelation that sparked online controversy.

In 2023, after Phyna’s BBNaija win, her father, Felix Otabor, revealed in an interview that he was distressed by his daughter’s actions following her BBNaija win.

Otabor said Phyna had asked him to stop working as a hearse driver and requested that he sell his cars, promising to improve the family’s life.

He said he later struggled financially after selling the vehicles, losing his business momentum and community position, and has not seen his daughter since her victory.

He described feeling sidelined while she enjoyed her wealth.
