Phyna rejects modified prize offer Multichoice, calls for original agreement to be carried out
Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has rejected a new offer from the organizers of the Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) reality show, Multichoice, regarding her prize.
Phyna won the 2022 BBNaija edition, and was promised an assortment of prizes. This included 1 BTC (Bitcoin) from Quidax Global and a one-year supply of Pepsi products from the Seven-Up Bottling Company (Pepsi).
It also included a trip for two to Dubai from Travelbeta, and a one-year supply of soap products from Evans Industries (Unik soap).
However, nearly two years after the completion of the edition, the 26-year-old has now called out Multichoice on her social media pages, accusing them of not fulfilling their promises to her regarding her prizes.
In the aftermath of this, Multichoice has been discussing with Phyna’s legal team to resolve the issue.
Shortly after Phyna’s claim, the Practitioners of Content Creating, Skit-making, and Influencers Guild of Nigeria (PCCSIGN), in a statement, appealed to Multichoice on behalf of Phyna to expedite the release of her outstanding prizes.
On Thursday, April 18, Phyna and her team shared an update on the meeting held with Multichoice Nigeria and her legal team.
Travelbeta proposed a trip for two to Morocco or Kenya instead of the initial agreement they made when her team last reached out to them, which was a trip to the Maldives or Jamaica.
The meeting also discussed the exchange rate for the 1 BTC and the delivery of the one-year supply of Pepsi and Unik soap products.
Quidax Global offered to pay 1BTC using the 2022 exchange rate, amounting to N13 million.
However, Phyna and her legal team declined this new offer from Travelbeta and Quidax Global. They say they are awaiting Friday’s one-year supply of Pepsi and Unik soap products. The refusal was due to the team’s dissatisfaction with the changes in the original agreement.
