“The name given to me by my parents is Blessing. My reason for hating that name was that I don’t see a sense of blessing in my life,” she said.
Phyna described a childhood where love felt scarce.
“It felt like I was always begging for love family love, friendship, even in relationships. Even, in fact, dem don use am curse me,” she confessed.
She recalled how growing up was chaotic and different from the experiences of many other teens.
“All aspects of growing up for me were very cràzy. As a teenager, there are things you could get from parents and family, but I didn’t have that,” she said.
Yet, despite the hardships, Phyna always believed she was destined for greatness. She would tell her family, even when they were harsh or dismissive, that one day they would see her on television.
“I knew for one that I was going to be big.

Today, Phyna has turned those words into reality, transforming a challenging childhood into a story of courage, determination, and stardom.
