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

In an emotional post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, Phyna revealed her ongoing struggles with her identity and origins. She stated, “I have no family,” expressing feelings of detachment and a search for answers about her roots.

This revelation has sparked a mix of empathy and concern among her fans and followers, with many offering their support during this challenging time.

The reality TV star continues to inspire conversations about family dynamics and self-discovery, further highlighting the human side of celebrities often overlooked by their fame.

“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,” she wrote.

“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 rn. Going up and the way I was toss around relative I should suspected but guess I was too young… omo my head wan tear!!!!!!”
