Phyna opened up about these experiences while appearing on The Nancy Isime Show, where she was joined by her colleague, Hermes.

Phyna said, “Growing up for me wasn’t really easy. I actually grew up with my aunt, my dad’s elder sister in Auchi. And my aunt sells food, it’s a restaurant.

Now, imagine a young girl at a restaurant at a very tender age. At 3, I was already in a restaurant serving men.”

“And there is a point my dad had an accident, they needed somebody to be with him at the hospital.”

“I think I just finished my JSS3 then and I had to go with dad from one hospital to another. That caused me SS1 and 2.

“On coming back [to school], they said I should go back to SS1 but I was like, no, I will join my mates in SS3. They gave me a series of exams, I wrote, I passed.”
