Singer and Big Brother Naija reality star Hazel Oyeze Onou, better known by his stage as Whitemoney, has reminisced about his humble beginnings.
Whitemoney disclosed in an interview with Echoo Room that he was living under a bridge in Ojuelegba, Lagos, when a married woman offered him a blank cheque to have sex with her, but he turned her down in spite of his health.
He added that it is against his principle to sleep with a married woman. In WhiteMoney’s words:
“I got a blank cheque from a lady when I was living under Ojuelegba Bridge.
“Then I was learning cosmetology, she came into the store to buy something, then she saw me and gave me her number to call her.
“I called her. She was so beautiful. We started talking and then she called me to meet her at a hotel then she put out a blank cheque for me.
“Before she put out the blank cheque, she made a mistake by sending me her family picture. She had about five boys.
“She was one of those women that their husbands are hardly around. If she had not done that, maybe I would have slept with her.
“But the fact that I know that she was married, I refused. I have a law, I can never sleep with a married woman.”
In a different story, Whitemoney asserted that he pays his staff three to five years ahead of time.
The reality star also revealed that he employs 150 people at the moment.
In an exclusive interview with Echo Room, he made the assertion.
Whitemoney clarified that he pays his employees ahead of time to avoid the hassle of making monthly payments.
The host asked,
“I heard that you pay staff members a couple of years in advance; five years, three years in advance. Is this true?”
Whitemoney replied,
“To be honest, it is. I operate in that system because it helps me take my mind off things. The way I set up my system is because I’m versatile; I do a lot of things and I can easily get carried away. Currently, I have 150 staff members.”
