Whitemoney, however, noted that he gets paid for musical performances but the same could not be said of his music on streaming platforms.
“The truth is singing has not started paying me because I don’t get money from streaming, but I get money from performances. I don’t have the best voice but I have a message and melody.
“People criticize me, even those paid to criticize me. What you need to know is that I don’t sing to make you feel fine because you don’t feed or fund my musical career,” he told BBC Igbo.
Whitemoney told BBC during an interview that he has not been benefiting from music. According to him, music streaming had not been a profitable avenue for him.
The entertainer further said that he might not have a ‘fine’ voice, but his focus is on delivering meaningful content rather than conforming to conventional standards.
