BBNaija Season 6 winner Whitemoney recently opened up about one of his biggest career challenges, emphasizing the lack of appreciation from Nigerians for his music style. In an appearance on the podcast show “The Echoo Room,” Whitemoney discussed his unique music genre, Kumkum, and expressed his frustration at not being seen as a musician by his fellow countrymen.
Whitemoney pointed out that, similar to the early careers of Davido and Burna Boy, Nigerians often undervalue homegrown talent but are quick to celebrate once international recognition is achieved. He vowed to prove his doubters wrong when he attains greater success.
“That’s what they did to Burna, David; they don’t believe in their star, but when outsiders appreciate you, they will pay twice as much.
“Just pray I don’t blow up, because when I do, I’m a star in my own lane. Nobody rivals my talent; you’re good in your way, I am the king; that’s why I have my own genre,” he declared.
