Phyna: I Want to Be a Man in My Next Life
The former Big Brother Naija winner, Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has revealed that she wishes to be a man in her next life. She said this in a candid interview with Tacha on the Big Friday Show on Cool FM Nigeria.
Phyna, who is a woman physically, said she identifies as a man mentally because of the way society treats women. She said she does not tolerate any disrespect or discrimination from anyone, regardless of their status or fame.
She recalled her recent clash with Davido, the famous singer and nephew of Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, who claimed he did not know her. She said she did not feel the need to introduce herself to him or kiss his ar**.
“I am a woman but most of the time, I want to identify as a man. In my next world, I want to be a man,” she said.
“I am a woman physically but I can identify as a man because most times they just try to talk down on you because you are a woman.
And personally, when you do something to me that I don’t like, no matter who you are, I will call you out.
For example, what happened between me and David [Davido] when he said he didn’t know me. Everybody said, ‘Phyna, you should have taken the opportunity to introduce yourself.’ No! Because he is David (Davido) doesn’t mean I have to kiss ar**.”
The reality star also said that society needs to treat women better and give them equal opportunities and respect. She said she is proud of her achievements and does not need anyone’s validation.
She said she is happy with her life and does not care about what people think of her. She said she is focused on her career and her personal growth.
“I don’t care about what people say about me. I am happy with myself and my life. I am doing what I love and I am growing every day. I don’t need anyone to tell me who I am or what I can do. I know myself and I know my worth,” she said.
