I won’t encourage anyone to participate in BBNaija – Phyna

Former BBNaija winner Phyna has revealed that she would no longer encourage people to audition for the reality show, claiming it has lost its former credibility

During her Twitch livestream, she said that while the show can offer contestants instant fame while in the Big Brother house, that attention often quickly fades once they exit.

She explained that fans tend to shift their focus to new contestants, leaving former housemates struggling to maintain the same level of interest.

“The steeze housemates have on the show disappears afterward because the same fan base moves from one person to the next. There’s nothing new, no fresh attention,” she said.

Phyna also noted that the show no longer carries the weight it once did, saying, “When you tell someone now that you came out of BBNaija, they won’t rate you like they did before.”

She further cautioned that many believe appearing on BBNaija guarantees instant wealth or long-term fame, but the reality is often more challenging, with former contestants facing pressure to stay relevant and secure opportunities after leaving the house.
