“I auditoned for Big Brother Naija five times before I was selected”– BBNaija winner, Phyna

Famous Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Josephine Otabor, aka Phyna, has disclosed that she auditioned for the reality show five times before being selected.
She revealed this while featuring on MTV Base Sparks alongside BBN Season 6 winner, Whitemoney.
Whitemoney said: “I heard that you kind of used my script in the [Big Brother] House. There is a certain aspect of me that you inherited and used to spice up your own game. And it worked for you.”
She responded: “I have been auditioning for Big Brother for about five years. Four years before the fifth year last year [when I was selected].
“Any year they don’t pick me, I don’t watch Big Brother. I don’t even want to know anything about it. I’m always jealous.
“So, when I was in the Big brother House and I said, ‘Who deyyyy?….’ I was angry that day. It’s something I always say. It’s just part of me. So, I said that. And one day, one of the housemates was like, ‘Whitemoney used to say this ‘Who deyyy?’ in the House. You’re copying him.’
“I’m like, really? I didn’t know o because I didn’t watched [Big Brother Naija Season 6]. And she was like, no, you’re copying him. And I was like, anyways, as long as he win, you say I dey copy abi? Ehnn, make e still work for me.”
