Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Josephine Ijeoma Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has stirred emotions with a shocking revelation she has publicly disowned her family and made the bold decision to drop her surname, “Otabor.”
The Edo-born reality star shared this deeply personal update through her verified X handle on Thursday night, opening up about the emotional turmoil she has been grappling with.
In her heartfelt post, Phyna lamented the lack of support she has endured from her family since childhood, painting a picture of a lonely journey to self-discovery.
“I am publicly dropping my family surname Otabor… It has been proven that I actually have no family and nobody knows how I came about…. I’m still searching for answers though,” she wrote.
She further revealed the depth of her struggles, saying, “It’s been rough with me lately… I’m in a place where I can’t even describe how I feel or what to call what I’m going through rn. Growing up and the way I was tossed around relatives I should have suspected, but guess I was too young… omo my head wan tear!!”
This revelation follows a recent controversy involving her father, Mr. Otabor, who had publicly accused her of neglecting her family since she rose to fame.
