Music Has Not Started Paying Me – Whitemoney

Songwriter Hazel Oyeze Onou, popularly recognized as Whitemoney, Big Brother Naija Season 6 winner-turned musician, has revealed that he has not been benefiting from music.

The reality star stated this in his recent interview with BBC Igbo.

Giving insights into his music career, he explained that music streaming has not proven to be a profitable avenue for him.

He further emphasized that he may not have a ‘fine’ voice, but his focus is on delivering meaningful content rather than conforming to conventional standards.

“The truth is singing has not started paying me because I don’t get money from streaming, but I get money from performances. I don’t have the best voice but I have a message and melody.

“People criticise me, even those paid to criticise me. What you need to know is that I don’t sing to make you feel fine because you don’t feed or fund my musical career,” Whitemoney added.
