I begged for love, I grew up hearing my father call me bastard – Phyna

• Phyna took to her Snapchat story on Saturday night to recall how her parents have treated her badly and always made her beg for love while growing up

We may not be hearing the last of the public spat between Big Brother Naija season 7 winner, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna and her father anytime soon.

Matters came to a head when Phyna’s father, Felix Otabor, in viral interview last week, berated the celebrity for treating her family with disdain and resentment after her BBNaija triumph.

He accused the reality star of abandoning him since she won the N100 million BBNaija prize in 2022.

“She disappeared into thin air as soon as the prize money was handed over to her, and she never returned home to butter our bread”, he said.

Pained by the viral report, Phyna took to her Snapchat story on Saturday night to recall how her parents have treated her badly and always made her beg for love while growing up.

“Growing up I always hear you are not my daughter. Yet I would beg for parental love. The truth is I have always begged people to love me. Today I have finally accepted it. No wonder, I for say. Guess I’m an ORPHAN”, she wrote.
