Big Brother Naija Season 6 winner Hazel Oyeze Onou, known as Whitemoney, has revealed how he was denied the opportunity to meet Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy at a party in Lagos.
He said that, contrary to popular belief, it was his own bouncers that blocked him from meeting the ‘African Giant’ crooner.
Whitemoney, a musician, underlined that, just as people vote for politicians and expect access to them, fans and supporters vote for celebrities by consuming their music and content, which helps them succeed.
In an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, the reality star stated that it is critical for celebrities to retain contact with followers who have played a role in their climb to fame and career success.
Whitemoney said, “We were at a party, and I heard that Burnaboy had just walked in. I’m a huge fan of Burna; left where I was because I wanted to go and greet him. I asked if I could say hi to burna, and they asked why? That was when I just withdrew, so people thought it was his bouncers bouncing, me, but it was my bouncer that told me, ‘Oga make we comot for here’.
“I’m not even sure Burna saw me, because I don’t think he’ll see me one on one, and he’ll tell me not to greet him. I know how many times I’ve told my bouncer, let them [fans and supporters] come greet me, if I lose them, would you pay me?
“These are the people who put me there. It is people who voted. It’s just like politics; if we vote you, we need access to you, so if we vote you and we’ve made you a millionaire and you’re coming out to do buga.”
