By Jide OkonjoPublished 4 years ago Updated 4 years ago 3 min read

Winner of last year's Big Brother Naija Season 6: Shine Ya Eye edition, White Money was without a doubt a fan favorite during the season. White Money was seen as relatable because of his constant time in the kitchen, the hustle spirit in him, his backstory, and his personality.

After winning the N90 million prize from the show which was inclusive of a N30 million cash prize, people were on the edge of their seats wondering what White Money would do next. Well, to a lot of people's surprise, he entered into music. The music was heavily criticized but White Money has continued to stick to it. Now, he's also launching oatmeal, is cooking for people in their private homes, and is about to launch a party jollof rice brand. A lot of people had different thoughts, suggestions, and directions on where his career should go but these new ventures are definitely coming as quite a surprise to some people.

During an interview with Saturday Beats, White Money sat down and opened up about the criticism he got for his music, his new ventures, relationships, and who he'll be voting for in the upcoming elections. Here's what White Money said.

Speaking about the criticism he received towards his music, White Money said:

Criticism is good for business. Whenever anyone criticizes me, they are helping to put me at the top. I do what I do (music) for fun, and I am a businessman making money. I have however picked some things from some criticisms that have helped me to do better and work on my craft.

Speaking about relationships after leaving the Big Brother house, White Money said:

I have not been in any relationship after BBN. Even before the competition, I wasn’t in any relationship. Before one gets into a relationship, one has to hear from God, especially when one is a celebrity. I am a spiritual person. Even if I don’t hear from God directly, I will follow my instincts and investigate the person properly.

On his advice for incoming Big Brother Naija housemates, White Money said:

Whether you are good, bad, toxic, straightforward, bent forward or not forward at all, there will be people who will like you for who you are. Just be yourself.

Speaking about his new oatmeal business, party jollof rice brand, and personal chef work he does, White Money said:

I launched an oatmeal last weekend. Later this month, I will also launch my brand of party jollof rice. I am a businessman; I do not just make mouth. After BBN, I have cooked in different countries. I have even been doing private cooking for some families.

Speaking about who he'll be supporting in the upcoming election, White Money said:

My mouth is sealed regarding that. However, I will announce my candidate next year before the election.
