“My music is popular abroad, Nigerians don’t understand me” – White Money says

Nigerian reality TV star and singer Hazel Onou, also known as White Money, has stated that his music is more popular in other countries.

The winner of Big Brother Naija ‘2021 ‘Shine Ya Eye’ claimed that his music style is not popular in Nigeria because Nigerians do not understand him.

White Money, on the other hand, insisted that his passion for singing is natural, and that he draws inspiration from the Holy Spirit.

According to him, cooking, which many people knew him for in BBNaija house is a love, but music is his talent, which he has demonstrated.

He said; “Music has always been in me, and I have been doing it for a long time. I do it passionately, and my inspiration comes from the Holy Spirit and the environment. I tell stories from what I see and what I’ve been through. I make ‘conscious’ music.

“I have a conscience. My songs don’t contain vulgar words or demeaning lyrics. I don’t talk down on anybody, or use lyrics that can send people into depression. All my lyrics are quite catchy and understandable. When I listen to my songs and I confirm that I am not doing the wrong thing, I get encouraged to continue.

“I know that some Nigerians already see me in a certain way, so they would not want me to do my thing. They want me to stick cooking, because of my affinity with the kitchen while in the BBN house. But, I already have that going on. Cooking is a passion, but music is my talent; and I have proved in many ways.

“Currently, I think my brand has more prospects outside Nigeria than in the country. Nigerians don’t understand me. They don’t know what I’m about. So, I want to take my brand international with my cooking, music and everything else that I do.”
