‘Don’t Handle It Like I Did’: Phyna Sends Strong Message to Imisi Amid Family Feud

Big Brother Naija winner Phyna has stepped forward with emotional support and hard-earned advice for fellow reality star Imisi, who is currently locked in a widely discussed dispute with her mother.

The tension centres on allegations about Imisi’s upbringing and criticism of her mother’s living conditions — a controversy that erupted despite Imisi’s N150 million BBNaija prize money. The situation has ignited intense conversation online, prompting Phyna to weigh in with words drawn from her own public and private battles.

Taking to X on Monday, Phyna wrote:
“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.”

Her message, both compassionate and cautionary, reflects her history of navigating public family issues during and after her time on the show.

The support comes at a critical moment for Imisi, whose mother recently accused her of resentment and of showcasing the family’s poor living conditions online. Imisi, during a TikTok live session, firmly rejected the claims, insisting she has consistently cared for her mother and extended financial support to other family members as well.

The unfolding drama highlights the pressures BBNaija stars often face after fame — balancing public expectations, family dynamics, and personal wellbeing.
