Phyna dismissed recent claims by her father, Mr Felix Otabor that he hadn’t seen her since she won the reality show and clinched the N100 million grand prize in 2022.
It may be recalled that months ago in an interview, Mr Otabor said Phyna disappeared after the show, at a time that she told him to sell all the cars he was using to run business and he thought their life has changed for good.
He, however, said his daughter stopped picking calls and the only time he gets to see her is on social media platforms.
Speaking on the pilot episode of Spill With Phyna podcast, she told her guest, rapper Erigga that she does not know why her father made the statement.
Erigga then asked if she has evidence to refute his claim and the Edo born former hype priestess, answered affirmatively.
