- Fina clarified that she had won the £100 million BBNaija prize and said a viral video suggested otherwise but was edited to distort her comments and warned bloggers not to misrepresent her remarks.
Reality TV star Josephine Ijioma Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has dismissed claims that she is yet to receive the £100 million grand prize for winning the 2022 Big Brother Naija reality show.
Fina had earlier publicly criticized the organizers of the show in 2023, claiming that she had not received all awards related to her victory. After multiple responses from her team and BBNaija organizers, the issue gradually disappeared from public discussion, leading many fans to believe it had been resolved.
However, the controversy resurfaced after a recent video circulated online in which Fina allegedly stated that she had yet to receive her winnings.
Fina clarified in response to the viral video during a recent Twitch stream that the video was maliciously edited to distort her remarks.
“They keep editing my videos. I never said I have not received my N100 million yet. I was just talking to people who asked me if the N100 million has been completed,” she said.
She revealed that the edited video nearly sparked a legal battle between her and the show’s organizers, who were reportedly unhappy with her account.
According to Fina, she had to explain to organizers that the clip was taken out of context and urged them to view the full stream on Twitch to confirm her genuine comments.
The reality star also warned bloggers not to manipulate her videos and threatened legal action against anyone who might get her in trouble.
