Big Brother Naija winner Phyna Otabor has announced that she is dropping her surname, stating that she has no family.
The reality star made this revelation on X, where she expressed emotional turmoil and uncertainty about her identity.
“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.”
“I’m still searching for answers though. It’s been rough with me lately. I’m in a place where I can’t even describe how I feel or what to call what I’m going through right now.”
“Growing up and the way I was tossed around relatives, I should have suspected, but I guess I was too young. Omo, my head wan tear!” she wrote.
This announcement comes a year after Phyna’s father claimed in an interview that his daughter no longer picked up their calls.
