Big Brother Naija star Phyna has lent her support to fellow reality show winner Imisi, who is currently embroiled in a public fallout with her mother.
The dispute erupted after Imisi’s mother accused her of neglect and lamented the poor state of their home, despite her daughter’s N150 million BBNaija prize money. The accusations quickly spread across social media, drawing intense public scrutiny.
Responding to the situation on X, Phyna shared an emotional message directed at Imisi and others navigating similar struggles.
“To Imisi, @imisiofficial and to anyone walking through the same fire… I’m praying for your strength. My own experience broke me, but I’m slowly rising. And I’m rooting for you with everything in me. Don’t handle it like I did, build strong and focus on you, baby girl,” she wrote.
The tension between Imisi and her mother began after the older woman released videos expressing frustration over feeling sidelined by her daughter.
Imisi has since apologised publicly, urging her mother to forgive her and step away from social media.
Phyna’s message resonates strongly given her own history of family-related controversy. After her BBNaija win, her father publicly disclosed that he felt abandoned, claiming Phyna asked him to quit working and sell his assets, leaving him struggling financially.
The parallel experiences have fueled broader conversations online about the pressures Big Brother Naija winners face and how sudden fame can strain family relationships.
As reactions continue to pour in, many social media users are calling for compassion and privacy for both reality stars and their families.
