White Money the renowned Nigerian reality TV star and musical artist, whose real name is Hazel Onou, has emphasized the growing popularity of his music in international markets.
Despite emerging victorious on the reality show "Big Brother Naija '2021: Shine Ya Eye," he harbors a belief that his music fails to resonate with the Nigerian audience due to a perceived lack of comprehension.
Reiterating the organic nature of his musical gifts, White Money attributes his creative inspiration to the Holy Spirit. While his culinary skills were widely recognized during his stint on BBNaija, he now views music as his innate talent, a facet of his artistry that he has continually validated through his craft.
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.”
