Whitemoney goes into music, promises to win Grammy

Winner of the Big Brother Naija Season 6, Hazel Oyeze Onou, popularly known as Whitemoney, has tried his hands in music with the release of his debut single titled Selense, which was released last week.

The single which has met with a lot of critical assessment by Nigerians, is Whitemoney’s first effort and according to him, he will get better as time goes on and will win the Grammy next year.

The multi-talented reality star recently released his first song since he won the reality show, however, it seems Nigerians were not impressed.

A Nigerian journalist, Taiwo Alabi, in an open letter humbly advised him to quit music, while controversial Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu also advised Whitemoney against venturing into music.

Speaking about the reception of his song in a recent interview with Cool Fm on Tuesday, Whitemoney said he has received tons of hate comments from people who tend to compare him to past Big Brother Naija winners.

He reiterated that contrary to claims that he’s following a trend by going into music, he had been doing music before he went into Big Brother’s house.

“A lot of hate comments, a lot of comparison; they tend to compare me with past winners. There’s a trend that says every Big Brother Housemate that comes out want to go into music but the thing is, I do not want to go into music I have been in music,” he said.
