- Whitemoney opined that Shallipopi’s success as a hitmaker is not due to his vocal prowess but rather because of his swagger
- Whitemoney said his exposure in the industry, is part of what makes him more musically exposed than Shallipopi and puts him in a position to advise him.
Former Big Brother Naija winner, Whitemoney, has shared insights on his musical exposure and the factors contributing to success in the industry.
In a recent Instagram live session, he discussed his recent tour to 8 states in the US, highlighting his musical growth and experience.
Whitemoney expressed his opinion on Shallipopi’s success, attributing it to his swag and stage presence rather than his voice.
Whitemoney also believes that his broader musical exposure and experience in the entertainment industry, has positioned him to offer advice to Shallipopi.
He however, acknowledged that Shallipopi’s unique strengths and experiences could similarly benefit him, emphasizing the value of mutual exchange and learning.
“Like Shallipopi, he doesn’t have a wonderful voice but once he holds that mic and says “Plutomanians”…It’s just the swag. Do you think it’s by voice? It’s not by voice”.
“I am in a good position to advise him because I am more exposed musically, entertainment-wise so I can advise him, and he too can advise me. It’s vice versa,” White Money said.
Whitemoney had earlier revealed plan to take his music abroad, emphasizing that Nigerians don’t understand him.
WhiteMoney speaking on Sunday Scoop, however, maintained that his love for singing is innate, and also revealed that he gets his inspiration from the Holy Spirit.
According to him, cooking which many knew him for in the BBNaija house is passion, but music is his talent which he has proved.
He said:
“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.”
