The former winner of Big Brother Naija, Whitemoney, has talked about his exposure to music and the elements that lead to success in the industry.
He talked about his recent tour to eight US states in a recent Instagram live session, showcasing his experience and musical development.
According to Whitemoney, Shallipopi‘s popularity was more down to his stage presence and charisma than his voice.
Whitemoney also thinks he is in a position to advise Shallipopi because of his wider musical knowledge and background in the entertainment business.
He however, acknowledged that Shallipopi’s unique strengths and experiences could similarly benefit him, emphasizing the value of mutual exchange and learning.
“Like Shallipopi, he doesn’t have a wonderful voice but once he holds that mic and says “Plutomanians”…It’s just the swag. Do you think it’s by voice? It’s not by voice”.
“I am in a good position to advise him because I am more exposed musically, entertainment-wise so I can advise him, and he too can advise me. It’s vice versa,” White Money said.
Recall that, Whitemoney had earlier revealed plan to take his music abroad, emphasizing that Nigerians don’t understand him.
WhiteMoney speaking on Sunday Scoop, however, maintained that his love for singing is innate, and also revealed that he gets his inspiration from the Holy Spirit.
According to him, cooking which many knew him for in the BBNaija house is passion, but music is his talent which he has proved.
He said:
“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.”
