“And there is a point my dad had an accident, they needed somebody to be with him at the hospital.”
“I Started making meat pie, buns, I became my class Rep, I make hair. I saved as low as N50 then. We go to shows, we dance, they pay us, we share.
“After finishing school, I went to serve [NYSC]. I was doing that, I had other part time jobs. I think that was when I took up hyping.”
“I think I followed my friends to the club, I was listening to the hype guy, and I realised I can actually do what he is doing. And that was it.”
“That was how I entered. Even after Big Brother House, some of my friends will be like, ‘Phyna, the way you are hustling, you are not hustling as if you won money at all.’ I said, money dey finish.”
