WhiteMoney
Winner of BBNaija Season 6, WhiteMoney, has revealed his intention to expand his music career overseas, citing a lack of understanding of his music by Nigerians.
He emphasized that his music garners more appreciation in countries beyond Nigeria.
He mentioned that Nigerians fail to appreciate his music due to a lack of comprehension.
In an interview with Sunday Scoop, WhiteMoney maintained that his musical talent is innate and that he derives inspiration from spiritual sources.
He expressed that his true passion lies in music, though he gained popularity for his cooking skills during his time on BBNaija.
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 it 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.”
