Influencers guild writes Multichoice over Phyna’s unpaid winning prize money

The winner of the Level Up season of the Big Brother Naija (BBN) reality show, Josephina Ijeoma Otabor, aka Phyna, has officially written to Multichoice, the sponsor of the show, through the Practitioners of Content Creating, Skit-making, and Influencers Guild (PCCSIGN) on her alleged unreleased winning prizes.

About a week ago, Phyna called out Multichoice for refusing to pay her all her winning prize money.

She subtly criticised Multichoice’s recent announcement that the audition for season nine of BBNaija is set to kick off soon when she is yet to receive her money.

“New show? When winner of season 7 nor see all her prizes and money,” she queried.

Phyna, who shared the letter as an image on X (formally known as Twitter), earlier called out the organisers of the show over the unreleased prizes and money she won.

In the letter, PCCSIGN listed the brands that are yet to reward the winner with her prizes while urging them to act quickly.

PCCSIGN, who claimed they were created to protect and respond to the legitimate concerns of their members, said: “We write to solicit your support in facilitating the release of the prizes owed to Phyna by the aforementioned brands.

“It is imperative that sponsors of the Big Brother Naija franchise uphold their commitments to the winners of the show. Failure to fulfil promised prizes not only reflects poorly on the sponsors but also undermines the integrity of the show and raises doubts in public opinion.

“We urge you to prioritise this matter and collaborate with us to ensure Phyna receives the prizes rightfully due to her. We believe that through open communication and mutual cooperation, we can swiftly resolve this issue and uphold the integrity of the Big Brother Naija franchise.”
