Tinny Entertainment new signee, Dapo Tuburna, serves us with a fierce burst of Afrobeats as he teams up with label mate, Ycee and rap star, Olamide on the remix of his latest song, “Nothing“. The song was produced by Quebeat.
BBNaija star and musician Hazel Oyeye Onou, also known as Whitemoney, recently spoke about his musical talent in an interview with his colleague, Doyin David.
He confidently claimed that he is unique in the music industry and called himself the ‘big 1’. Whitemoney asserted that no Nigerian artist can match his musical abilities.
He also mentioned that he no longer worries about criticism because he believes Nigerian artists lack lyrical depth.
Whitemoney said, “I am the first of my kind. I created my kind of sound, and I don’t look up to my colleagues. I am not the best, but nobody is better than me. No artist makes music like my music. Their sounds are not intentional to me. So when you drag me thinking you are hurting me, you are doing me a favour.”
“Don’t stop dragging me. Never give up. I don’t like being stereotyped or being boxed. I could care less about big 3 or whatever. All I know is I am the big 1. No one can match my talent. What I am about to do to the industry now, dem go believe. I will not just be in the music industry as an artist, I will be there as a business.”
