Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, better known as Phyna, has raised fresh concerns over unpaid prizes from the reality show.
In a video now trending online, she revealed that the organisers are yet to give her the full ₦100 million package promised after her victory in 2022.

Phyna explained that many doubted her when she first spoke about the issue, but she insists the money is still outstanding.
She said her frustration comes not only from the delay but also from the disbelief of the public who question her claims.
According to her, the situation has left her feeling betrayed by the platform that brought her fame.
The reality star’s latest outcry adds to years of complaints about the prize package.
A major point of contention is the 1 Bitcoin pledged by sponsor Quidax Global. Since her win, the cryptocurrency has surged in value, now worth over ₦100 million.

Phyna maintains that this, along with other benefits, has not been delivered.
She has repeatedly accused Multichoice Nigeria, the show’s organisers, of withholding parts of the prize.
These include cash equivalents, a trip for two, and product supplies from other sponsors. Phyna believes the delays have negatively affected her career and personal life, forcing her to speak out despite criticism.
Multichoice, on its part, has previously stated that all obligations to the winner were fulfilled.
However, Phyna continues to insist otherwise, saying the lack of payment has pushed her to the point of making her grievances public.
In her words, Phyna said:
“When I came online, people didn’t believe me. BBNaija still hasn’t given me the ₦100 million I won.”

Phyna confronts police over unlawful road stop
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Phyna confronted police officers who abruptly stopped her vehicle in the middle of a busy Nigerian road without proper procedure.
She questioned why her car was specifically targeted and reminded the officers of her celebrity status.
Phyna said police are not allowed to flag down motorists randomly from moving traffic, insisting that they must park safely and use visible points for stops.
She cited the danger that this method posed not only to her but to other road users, demanding to know if such tactics were official training.
