Former Big Brother Naija winner, Josephine Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has refuted her colleague Whitemoney’s claims that she confided in him that she has received her remaining prizes from the organisers and sponsors.
Phyna who won Season 7 of the reality show in 2022 has been
calling out the organisers and their sponsors over incomplete prizes.
Whitemoney in a recent interview disclosed that Phyna has
finally gotten her remaining prizes including the 1 BTC.
Reacting to Whitemoney’s claims on Wednesday, Phyna denied
giving him such information.
According to her, she has decided to forget about the 1 BTC
and not talk about it anymore.
She added that she was now focused on her acting career,
urging the public to desist from meddling in her “business.”
On her X handle, Phyna wrote: “Good morning everyone, this
is to clear the air that:
“I never told white money what he went on to say on podcast,
I was surprised to see it myself.
“About the 1BTC I have decided to forget and never talk
about it anymore, as I am currently focusing on my projects.
“Please I indulged everyone to off my business, I am tired.
Everyday I hear I get things I didn’t get, I hear I’m dating who I’m not even
talking to.
“You have to believe in yourself when no one else does, has
always been the life I lived enough of the assumptions.”
Phyna, has been calling out the organisers and their
sponsors over incomplete prizes, claiming she was yet to receive all the prizes
and money promised to her.
Her allegation came after Multichoice announced auditions
for the ninth edition.
The Practicioners of Content Creating, Skit-Making, and
Influencers Guild of Nigeria (PCCSIGN) highlighted the list of gifts allegedly
owed to Phyna.
The guild urged Multichoice to help facilitate “the release
of the prizes” from the sponsors.
Phyna had earlier rejected the new offers proposed to her by
the show’s sponsors concerning her prizes.
Quidax had pledged to give Phyna 1 BTC as part of her prizes
but were yet to fulfil their promise two years after.
The reality TV personality emphasized that among the
unsettled dues, the most important one to her is the 1BTC owed by one of the
sponsors, Quidax Global.
Phyna revealed that the value of 1BTC currently exceeds N90
million, expressing her determination to continue demanding it until she
receives it.
Following Phyna outburst, they met with the reality star and
offered her N13m which they claimed was the value of 1 BTC in 2022 when they
made the pledge.
However, speaking in a video message shared via her social
media page, Phyna said she rejected the offer and insisted that they gave her
the 1 BTC which she said is now worth over N90 million.
She also insisted that the organisers of the reality show
and their sponsors must give her tickets for a trip-for-two to Maldives which
was also part of her prizes.
