As embarrassing as Whitemoney’s performances have been, sometimes I don’t blame him.
He’s not acting of his own accord.
He’s still hanging on to the glowing remarks he received from millions of Nigerians 3 years ago.
In case you’ve forgotten let me remind ya.
Is that not why I’m BTV?
Whitemoney’s stay in Biggie’s house saw him entertain other housemates with his original compositions every other day.
Each time he did, it was celebrated by viewers on social media.
Whitemoney would be like,
“Fowl go Kaduna come see ogbono; e jump, e mess, Ochuko come outside;
Amala go GTBank go chop ewedu;
Nne whine am, take am, chelugodi broda…
Ngwa, Liquorose and Emmanuel, when I say “see ogbono” you say “kpakpakpa”
See ogbono (kpakpakpa)
O boi see ogbono (Kpakpakpa)
Now check out verse two…
That was Whitemoney.
A one-man show who just couldn’t bring himself to stop, until housemates take it upon themselves to gently and lovingly end the singing session with polite applause.
Again, I don’t blame him for pursuing music relentlessly.
If I came out from Biggie’s house and met a rabid, cult-like fanbase saying I’m unbelievably gifted and can make hit songs while turning eba, y’all can’t tell me nothing.
If I came out from Biggie’s house and saw people swearing in comment sections that I’m the composer that mothered Cobhams Asuquo and Johnny Drille, I’m that lyrical genius!
If I came out from Biggie’s house and saw several news headlines extolling my talents, reporting that I k!lled it in singing and composition, f#ck it. Imma stay on my sh!t.
If I had all that critical acclaim on my name and won N90m for it, you can’t stop me.
You see, 3 years ago you dared not say anything unflattering about Whitemoney’s disjointed compositions and terrible singing.
I tried to warn y’all that he was a one-trick pony, but people said catarrh dey my ear.
They made it seem like I was h@ting on a fellow Igbo person.
If I vex I will dig up those old posts and tag everybody that slammed me. Shullai?
My former classmate wey sidon for my block list, na because of truth wey I talk for WM matter.
The ragamuffin cuss my life.
After y’all have given him the maestro of music crown for his singing 3 years ago, you turned around to say he’s untalented.
If I’m the one sef I’d see it as hate.
I go raise am dey go.
Whitemoney nwannem no gree for anybody.
You must sing your way to that Grammy stage.
Pack your hair, microblade your brows, and make those music videos for us.
