The reality star was a hot topic on social media after her father granted an interview with a media outlet, narrating his ordeal with his daughter, who he claimed has abandoned him since winning the show.
He revealed that Phyna had made promises to him, which she failed to fulfill, and hasn’t set eyes on her since winning the show.
Reacting to it, the reality star had called out the media outlet, for tormenting her with texts and calls and for probing her with unnecessary questions.
She vowed to sue the publication for constantly defaming her, as she narrated her encounter with one of it’s workers.
In another tweet, Phyna revealed that in the history of dragging, this is the first time, she has cried and it touched her.
The Edo-born star who is no doubt pained by the interview further took to her Snapchat page to drag her family, telling the public to give her family her body when she dies so they could eat it.
Praying not to die young, she expressed disappointment that her family is granting interviews against her.
In a past interview with media personality, Nancy Isime, Phyna revealed that she once served at a restaurant at a tender age.
While reflecting on her childhood struggles, Phyna claimed she worked at a restaurant at age 3 and was serving men.
The Edo-born lady said her dad took her to Auchi to live with her elder sister when she was 3 years old, and after his terrible accident, which left her taking care of him in the hospital for two years, she dropped out of school.
