The BBNaija Season 6 winner voiced his concerns on The Echoo Room podcast, discussing his music genre, Kumkum.
According to Whitemoney, Nigerians do not perceive him as a musician and do not appreciate his style, similar to how they treated Davido and Burna Boy before they gained fame.
He stressed that his fellow countrymen often have a mindset of undervaluing talent but are quick to celebrate when the artist gains recognition internationally.
Whitemoney, whose determination for music success appears insatiable, vowed to overcome those who underestimated him once he achieves fame.
“That’s what they did to Burna, David; they don’t believe in their star but when outsiders appreciate you, they will pay times two.
“Just they pray make I no blow because if I blow; I’m a star in my lane. Nobody rivals my talent; you’re good in your way, I am the king; that’s why I have my own genre,” he stated.
