Reality TV star and 2022 Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) winner, Phyna, has announced her decision to drop her family surname, Otabor, citing a lack of connection with her family.

In a heartfelt post shared on X on Thursday, Phyna revealed her emotional struggles, stating that she has “no family” and is still searching for answers about her origins.

Phyna expressed her feelings, saying, “I am publicly dropping my family surname OTABOR… it has been proven that I actually have no family and nobody knows how I came about.”

This development comes after a highly publicized feud with her family last year, during which her father alleged that Phyna had distanced herself and stopped responding to their calls. Her response at the time sparked a heated debate on social media, further amplifying the strained relationship with her family.
