Phyna, the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 7, has tearfully demanded the payment of her 1 BTC prize money, worth over N100 million, from the show organizers, accusing them of withholding her full winnings.
In an emotional video circulating on social media, Phyna, the winner of the seventh season of the popular reality show Big Brother Naija, has tearfully appealed to the show organizers to pay her the 1 BTC prize money, which is currently worth over N100 million.
Phyna, the winner of the 2022 edition of the show, insists that she hasn’t been paid her full prize money, despite her efforts to contact the organizers. Her appeal has triggered extensive responses from Nigerians on different platforms.
Some sympathized with Phyna’s situation and urged the show organizers to act promptly, while others raised doubts about her claims, emphasizing the importance of transparency and following contractual agreements. One commenter wrote, “Justice for her, BBNaija give her her money,” echoing the sentiments of many who feel Phyna should receive her rightful prize.
Some argued for legal action, with one user suggesting, “If there was a sort of agreement or contract signed before participation… Crying here on TikTok won’t help… I’m sure you know what to do.” On the other hand, skepticism was expressed by some, questioning the genuineness of Phyna’s tears and speculating that she might have already spent the initial prize money she received.
The ongoing debates on social media raise questions about how Big Brother Naija’s organizers will address Phyna’s emotional appeal and the increasing public attention on the reported withholding of her prize money.
