BBNaija season 6 winner, Hazel Oyeze Onou, popularly called White Money, has clapped back at those saying he has no voice or talent to excel in music.
The reality TV star made his views known while he was a guest of a radio station, Cool FM.
The 29-year-old White Money, told Biggie when he was on the BBNaija show, that he was planning to go into music after leaving the house.
While Big Brother encouraged and wished him well, a lot of the fans of the show have constantly reminded the TV reality show winner that he does not have the talent to realise his dream.
Whitemoney recently released his song which has stirred reactions from fans online.
Some of the social media users who heard the song urged him on but the majority of them advised him to spend his money on other ventures he has a passion for, as a career in music will be catastrophic.

Reacting to the criticism, while on the radio show, Whitemoney said it is unfair to compare him with former housemates, who didn’t make headway in music.
He also said he was into music before he got into the BBnaija house but had no platform to exhibit his talent.
In his words: “There’s a lot of comparison with other BBNaija winners or housemates that have gone into music.
“I don’t want to go into music. I’ve been into music. I didn’t just have the platform to showcase it like I have now.
He added that, despite not having a smooth voice like other singers, his music has a lot of messages for his audience.
He also stressed that his brand of music is for a selected few and not everyone,
“My music cannot be for everybody, I’m cool with my crowd. Not everyone will have a sleek voice, it’s all about passing the message with my music.”
On how he thinks his musical career will go despite the criticism, White Money said: “By this time next year I’ll get a Grammy Insha Allah.”
