Phyna in Tears: How She Gave Away ₦100 Million BBNaija Prize and Ended Up Broke
Phyna broke down during a TikTok live as she recounted how she distributed her entire ₦100 million Big Brother Naija winnings to relatives in need. She revealed that family members only appeared interested in her money and never advised her to invest. She drilled boreholes and paid school fees for many, but the funds eventually ran out. The reality star defended her decision to work as a waiter, questioning why Nigerians look down on such honest work while it’s respected abroad. She also lamented that brands no longer offer endorsement deals to reality stars like before. Phyna added that even securing a 9–5 job wouldn’t meet her financial needs, as typical salaries are too low to sustain her lifestyle.
