On-air personality N6 has thrown his weight behind former Big Brother Naija Level Up winner Phyna after a video of her working as a waitress at a restaurant sparked widespread mockery and criticism online.
The controversial clip, shared by streamer Davrel, showed Phyna serving customers. She appeared uncomfortable when filmed and reportedly begged not to be put on camera. The video quickly went viral, with many netizens questioning what happened to her ₦100 million prize money and post-show endorsements.
In her response, Phyna defended her decision to work honestly. She questioned why Nigerians bash people for doing legitimate jobs while praising similar roles abroad. The reality star explained that endorsement deals have dried up and she prefers working over faking a luxurious lifestyle.

Reacting to the situation, N6 said he has no issue with her choice as long as she can handle the public stigma.
“I have no problems with a former BBNaija winner becoming a Waitress to make ends meet. So long as her Mental Health can carry the Stigma. It’s better than getting involved in crime. Do your thing. Only you know where the shoe of Your Life pains you.”
N6’s comment has been interpreted as a call for empathy and respect for personal choices. While some continue to mock Phyna, others have praised her for choosing dignity in honest labour over idleness or deceit.
