Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has rejected N13 million offered her by one of the sponsors of the reality show, Quidax.
Phyna, who won the reality show in 2022, has been calling out the organisers and their sponsors over incomplete prizes.
Quidax had pledged to give Phyna 1 BTC as part of her prizes, but is yet to fulfil its promise two years after.
Following Phyna’s recent outburst, the organisers met with the reality star and offered her N13m, which they claimed was the value of 1 BTC in 2022 when they made the pledge.
However, speaking in a video message shared via her Instagram account on Friday, April 19, Phyna said she rejected the offer and insisted that they gave her the 1 BTC, which she said is now worth over N90 million.
She also insisted that the organisers of the reality show and their sponsors must give her tickets for a trip for two to Maldives, which was also part of her prizes.
A statement titled ‘Negotiations and agreements update – MultiChoice meeting and exchange rate discussion’ by the acting president of Practitioners of Content Creation Skitmakers and Influencers Guild of Nigeria, Micheal Obinna Nwabufo, on Friday, April 19, reads: “Today, the acting president of PCCSIGN, Micheal Obinna Nwabufo, along with legal representatives from Phyna, Olawale Amousa Legal, visited the offices of MultiChoice Nigeria. The recent agreement between Pepsi and Unik soap is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, Friday, April 19, 2024. While Travelbeta is offering a trip for 2 to Morocco or Kenya which we declined the destination options because Phyna was initially offered the destination options of Maldives or Jamaica.
“Regarding the matter of the 1 BTC, it was stated that the exchange rate would reflect the 2022 Naira equivalent, amounting to N13million. However, PCCSIGN and Phyna’s legal representatives declined the offer due to concerns about potential repercussions resulting from MultiChoice’s negligence.
The acting president of PCCSIGN insisted that the agreed-upon 1 BTC should be based on the current exchange rate. MultiChoice has agreed to further discuss this matter with Quidax Global and provide a response to PCCSIGN and Phyna.
