Hazel Oyeze, better known as Whitemoney from the Big Brother Naija ‘Shine Ya Eye’ edition, has stirred the pot with some strong words about fellow artist Shallipopi. During a lively Instagram live session with his fans, Whitemoney boldly claimed that Shallipopi doesn’t possess a good singing voice.
Confident in his musical talent, Whitemoney asserted, “Shallipopi doesn’t have a wonderful voice. Musically, I’m more exposed than him. In every aspect of entertainment, I surpass him.” As of now, Shallipopi has not responded to these comments.
Whitemoney’s Ambitious Outlook
In another intriguing revelation, Whitemoney expressed that Nigerians might come to regret not backing his music career once he gains international recognition. In a recent interview with Echoo Room, he reflected on the challenges faced by other successful Nigerian artists like Burna Boy, who were once dismissed by local promoters. Whitemoney noted that when Burna Boy achieved fame, many labeled him “proud” for not being accessible to Nigerian show promoters.
He warned that the same fate awaits those who overlook him now. “Nigerian promoters did the same to me as they did to Burna Boy and Davido. They often doubt local talent, but when international audiences start appreciating you, Nigerians will eventually recognize your worth and pay significantly more,” he said.
Whitemoney concluded with a playful yet serious note: “Promoters will regret not supporting my music. Your only hope should be that I don’t succeed in the music industry, because if I do, you’ll all be paying up!”
With such ambitious aspirations and a confident stance, Whitemoney is certainly making waves in the entertainment scene. Fans will be eager to see how his music career unfolds!
