Reality TV star and singer Hazel Oyede Onou, popularly known as Whitemoney, has made a confident statement about his musical abilities, asserting that no Nigerian artist can rival his talent.
In a recent interview with fellow reality star Doyin, Whitemoney shared his belief that most Nigerian artists lack depth in their lyrics.
Whitemoney emphasized that his music is distinct and intentional, unlike others in the industry.
He expressed his dislike for being categorized or limited, refusing to be defined by industry standards.
Whitemoney declared:
“I am the first of my kind. I created my own kind of sound and I don’t look up to my colleagues. I am not the best but nobody is better than me.
“No artist make music like my music. Their sounds are not intentional to me. So when you drag me thinking you are hurting me, you are doing me a favour. Don’t stop dragging me. Never give up.
“I don’t like being stereotyped or being boxed. I could care less about big 3 or whatever. All I know is I am the big 1. No one can match my talent. What I am about to do to the industry now, dem go believe. I will not just be in the music industry as an artist, I will be there as a businessman because in the near future I intend to own a record label.”
Whitemoney had earlier announced that he is no longer interested in winning Grammy .
The reality TV star, who was once vocal about his desire to take home the coveted American award, has expressed his discontentment with the Grammy’s credibility.
Whitemoney’s change of heart comes after the controversy surrounding the last Grammy Awards ceremony, where Nigerian superstars, Davido and Burna Boy, were allegedly snubbed.
In a recent interview with content creator, Egungun, Whitemoney revealed that his target has shifted to the local Headies Awards.
