Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has lashed out at critics of celebrities who undergo cosmetic procedures like liposuction and Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) to enhance their appearance.
Speaking during a recent livestream, Phyna, argued that many people criticize cosmetic surgery because they cannot afford it, adding that most critics would make the same choices if they had the financial means.
She said; “You always say once someone wins Big Brother or goes on the show, they start doing things to their body. My dear, if you had money, do you know what you would do? Imagine you had ₦20 million you’re not even using as a woman, you would go and have surgery. Don’t let anybody deceive you.
“It’s because you are broke. Even me, I admit it’s because of money. It’s nothing else, I swear to God, I won’t lie to you.”
“Right now, your thinking is clouded. You’re wondering, ‘Why are they doing this?’ My sister, it’s the money you don’t have that’s why you’re criticizing it. Don’t worry, if money comes your way, you will do it too.”
This follows reports that the BBNaija star recently underwent a procedure to enhance her appearance, a development that has intensified social media debates over how financial freedom shapes lifestyle choices.
