BBNaija star and singer, Hazel Onou, widely known as White Money, has lamented that all certain Nigerians want to see her do is cooking.
He, however, insists that his music career his real.
According to White Money, his kind of music is not generally accepted in Nigeria is because his song is void of vulgar words because it’s inspired by the Holy Ghost.
“Music has always been in me, and I have been doing it for a long time.
I do it passionately, and my inspiration comes from the Holy Spirit and the environment.
I tell stories from what I see and what I’ve been through. I make ‘conscious’ music.
“I have a conscience. My songs don’t contain vulgar words or demeaning lyrics.
I don’t talk down on anybody, or use lyrics that can send people into depression.
All my lyrics are quite catchy and understandable.
When I listen to my songs and I confirm that I am not doing the wrong thing, I get encouraged to continue.
“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.”
