Phyna has disclosed that she didn’t copy Whitemoney while in the BBNaija house.
Glamtush reports that Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) ‘Level Up’ winner, Josephine Ijeoma Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has revealed that she never used the techniques of Whitemoney during her time on the reality show to secure her win.
Phyna made the revelation during a chat on MTV Base Sparks alongside ‘Shine Ya Eye’ winner, Hazel Onou better known as Whitemoney as she reminisced on auditioning for the reality TV show five times before being selected.
He had probed Phyna about claims that she copied his slang ‘Who dey’ during her season, but she rebuffed it and said that she does not watch Big Brother any year she was not selected as a contestant and it so happens that during his season, she failed to make it into the house so she could not have copied him.
Whitemoney said, “I heard that you kind of used my script in the [Big Brother] House. There is a certain aspect of me that you inherited and used to spice up your own game. And it worked for you.”
Phyna responded, “I have been auditioning for Big Brother for about five years. Four years before the fifth year last year [when I was selected]. Any year they don’t pick me, I don’t watch Big Brother. I don’t even want to know anything about it. I’m always jealous.
“So, when I was in the [Big Brother] House and I said, ‘Who deyyyy?….’ I was angry that day. It’s something I always say. It’s just part of me. So, I said that. And one day, one of the housemates was like, ‘Whitemoney used to say this ‘Who deyyy?’ in the House. You’re copying him.’
“I’m like, really? I didn’t know o because I didn’t watch [Big Brother Naija Season 6]. And she was like, no, you’re copying him. And I was like, anyways, as long as he wins, you say I dey copy abi? Ehnn, make e still work for me.”
