Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, is a Nigerian actress, model, hype woman, entertainer, and reality TV personality. In a recent exclusive interview, she talked about her relationships and social media presence.
She drew attention to a difference between her internet persona and her offline relationships, exposing that although she maintains a vibrant online presence, she doesn’t truly have many friends in real life.
She explained, “I’m always lively on social media, but off-camera, I spend most of my time alone. I don’t have friends.”
She acknowledged that although she had friends in the past, some of them had moved on from her after the show, and others had high expectations of her that she was unable to achieve.
“Before entering the show, I didn’t have many friends either. Now, I find myself mostly alone,” she added.
