Reality TV star Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has dismissed reports suggesting that she claimed she has not received the ₦100 million grand prize she won on Big Brother Naija.
Speaking during a recent livestream, Phyna said a circulating video clip was edited and taken out of context, leading to a false narrative online.
“They keep cutting my video. I never said I have not received my ₦100 million,” she explained. “I was only talking to people who asked me if the ₦100 million has finished.”
According to Phyna, she was responding to questions about her finances and lifestyle choices, not alleging any delay or failure in the payment of her winnings. She added that anyone who watches the full, unedited video would clearly understand the context of her remarks.
The reality star warned bloggers and social media users against spreading misleading content about her, stating that she would take action if such reports cause reputational harm or unnecessary controversy.
Phyna won the Big Brother Naija Season 7: Level Up edition in 2022. The advertised ₦100 million grand prize comprised cash and sponsored rewards, in line with the show’s standard prize structure.
Her clarification has since calmed speculation online, with many fans urging content creators to verify context before amplifying short clips.
