Whitemoney, a well-known reality celebrity and gifted musician, shocked Nigerians recently by disclosing which component of his music profession brings in money.
In a recent interview with BBC Igbo, the winner of BBNaija season 6 discussed his musical career.
Whitemoney disclosed that although music hasn’t started to pay him, he’s still committed to using his songs to deliver a powerful message.
He went on to say that even though he hasn’t yet begun to get paid by fans streaming his music, he does get paid for appearances.
Whitemoney revealed that music has not started paying him, but he is focused on conveying a very strong message through his songs.
He further said that although he hasn’t, as yet, started making money from people streaming his songs, he, however, makes money from performances.
Additionally, Whitemoney noted that he knows he doesn’t have a voice that might be considered ‘fine’ but he doesn’t sing to please anyone, particularly his detractors.
His words…
“The truth is singing has not started paying me, I do not get money from streaming, but I get money from performances. I do not 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 do not sing to make you feel fine or please you because you do not feed me or fund my musical career.”
