Phyna, the winner of Big Brother Naija season 7 in 2022, recently addressed the issue of her unpaid prizes in a series of posts on her X account, clarifying misunderstandings and expressing her decision to move forward from the matter.
In her statement on June 19, 2024, Phyna emphasized several points:
1. **Clarification on Communication**: She clarified that she never informed fellow reality star Whitemoney about receiving her outstanding 1BTC prize from Multichoice. This statement aimed to correct any misinformation spread during a podcast.
2. **Decision to Move On**: Phyna announced her decision to stop discussing the matter of the 1BTC prize publicly. She stated, “About the 1BTC I have decided to forget and never talk about it anymore, as I am currently focusing on my projects.” This indicates her choice to prioritize her ongoing endeavors rather than dwell on unresolved issues.
3. **Frustration with Speculations**: She expressed frustration over constant assumptions and rumors regarding her personal life. Phyna urged people to respect her privacy, stating, “Please I indulged everyone to off my business, I AM TIRED. Every day I hear I get things I didn’t get, I hear I’m dating who I’m not even talking to.”
Phyna’s decision to move forward comes after publicly calling out Multichoice and the organizers of Big Brother Naija on April 8, 2024, demanding the release of her outstanding prizes, which included the 1BTC prize valued at over ₦90 million, among other awards.
Her recent statements reflect a desire to shift focus away from unresolved issues and towards her career and personal growth. This move is likely aimed at maintaining her peace of mind and concentrating on her ongoing projects without the distractions of past grievances.
