The Digest:
Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner Phyna (Ijeoma Josephina Otabor) has publicly stated that she has not received the full ₦100 million prize package promised after her 2022 victory. In a recent online video, she revealed that despite public skepticism, the show’s organizers, MultiChoice Nigeria, have yet to deliver key components of the prize, including cash equivalents, a trip for two, and 1 Bitcoin from sponsor Quidax Global. MultiChoice has previously asserted that all obligations to the winner were fulfilled.
Key Points:
- The delayed payout impacts Phyna’s financial stability and career growth, despite the public visibility from the show.
- The allegation tests public trust in reality TV prize fulfillment and may influence future contestants’ perceptions.
- Sponsors like Quidax Global face reputational scrutiny if pledged rewards remain undelivered years after the season ended.
- The situation highlights contractual and accountability gaps between winners, producers, and third-party sponsors.
- Mixed public reactions reflect broader debates about credibility, clout-chasing, and corporate responsibility in entertainment.
The unresolved claim may lead to further public appeals or legal steps, while MultiChoice and sponsors could face increased pressure to address the issue transparently.
