Big Brother Naija season 7 winner Josephine Otabor, better known as Phyna, has revealed that she started hustling to make ends meet at the age of three.

The 26-year-old disclosed this on Saturday on The Nancy Isime Show.

Phyna said she started serving at the restaurant of one of her aunties whom she was living with at the time.

She said her dad took her to live with his elder sister in Auchi when she was three years old.

In her words, “Growing up for me wasn’t really easy. I actually grew up with my aunt, my dad’s elder sister in Auchi. And my aunt sells food, it’s a restaurant.

“Now, imagine a young girl at a restaurant at a very tender age. At three, I was already in a restaurant serving men. And there is a point my dad had an accident, they needed somebody to be with him at the hospital. I think I just finished my JSS3 then and I had to go with dad from one hospital to another. That caused me SS1 and 2.”

The reality TV star in 2022 bought a red SUV for her dad.

She posted a photo of the brand new car on Snapchat with the caption: “I’m sorry dad but everyone in the family is gonna use red. I learnt how to get a car for my dad with love. God bless him for me.”
