I Never Said I Have Not Received My ₦100 Million – Phyna Fires Back At Critics

Reality star Josephine Ijioma Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has stated that she never claimed that she had not received her ₦100 million grand prize from the BBNaija show.

Naija News recalls that Phyna called out the organisers in 2023, claiming she had yet to receive all the prizes she won on the show.

After a series of statements from both Phyna’s team and BBN organisers, it was believed that the matter had been resolved.

However, a recent video of the reality TV star claiming she had yet to receive her prize money began to trend again.

Reacting to the development during a Twitch livestream, Phyna said those pushing the videos were doing so out of malicious intent.

She explained that in the full video, she said those mocking her for turning to a streamer despite winning ₦100 million years ago never supported her when she was fighting to have the prize money released.

“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 hadn’t received her prize money.

She explained that she had to inform the organisers that the video had been cut and urged them to check the full video on Twitch for confirmation.

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