Phyna Clarifies N100 Million BBNaija Grand Prize Status

Reality star, Josephine Ijioma Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has denied saying she hasn’t received her N100 million grand prize for winning the Big Brother Naija Reality Show in 2022. DAILY POST recalls 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.
