“After the interview, Phyna still hasn’t reached out to us, She did gift me a car, but I wanted more”- Father

  • BBNaija Phyna’s father has emerged to clarify the air surrounding his statement in a viral interview that sparked a heated response from his daughter and her devoted fans.
  • A widely circulated report by Vanguard claimed that Phyna had distanced herself from her family after claiming the ₦100 million grand prize. In response, her fans unearthed an old video of Phyna gifting her father a car.
  • In a fresh interview with Vanguard, Phyna’s dad said she has not yet made contact with them, opened up about his feelings regarding the car gift, shedding light on the matter.

Felix Otabor, the father of BBNaija’s Season 7 ‘Level Up’ edition champion, Phyna, has spilled the beans that his daughter generously gifted him an SUV following her triumph on the reality TV show

Previously, Phyna had threatened legal action against Vanguard, the media outlet that published a report claiming she had abandoned her family after winning the ₦100 million grand prize.

Phyna’s father alleged that she had ceased communication with them after leaving the BBNaija house. In response, netizens dug up a video from 2022, showing Phyna presenting her parents with a shiny new Lexus Jeep.

In a subsequent report, Vanguard disclosed that Phyna’s father reached out to them during the week, revealing that Phyna had refrained from contacting them despite their report.

Otabor admitted to receiving a car gift from Phyna but expressed that he had expected more from her, suggesting he anticipated a grander gesture.

The report read in part,

During the week, her father, Mr Felix Otabor called our reporter again on the telephone to say that Phyna hadn’t reached out to him or any member of the family. He said he thought that granting the first interview to Vanguard would compel her friends to advise her to return to her family. But it has worsened the situation, as his telephone has been buzzing since last weekend.

“Though Otabor admitted that Phyna bought him an SUV after she won the BBNaija reality TV show, he, however, wanted more, and his daughter wasn’t ready to oblige him.

“Note that the father admitted that she bought an SUV car for him, but he also wanted her to replace the rickety cars he used for the ambulance business. According to the father, he sold the rickety cars after Phyna advised him to do so on the promise that she would replace them. Couldn’t this have put pressure on her and fueled the reason she stayed away from her parents?”
