Despite the outcome, she expressed gratitude for being part of this groundbreaking xenotransplantation research, hoping her experience will help others battling kidney disease.

 ā€˜No Nigerian artist can match my talentā€™ ā€“ BBNaija Whitemoney


Reality TV star and singer, Hazel Oyeze Onou, popularly known as Whitemoney, has boasted that no Nigerian artist can match his musical talent.


According to him, most Nigerian artists lack lyrical depth.


Speaking in a recent interview with fellow reality star, Doyin, Whitemoney said he no longer cares about criticisms.


He said, ā€œI am the first of my kind. I created my own kind of sound and I donā€™t look up to my colleagues. I am not the best but nobody is better than me.


ā€œNo artist make 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. Donā€™t stop dragging me. Never give up.


ā€œI donā€™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 businessman because in the near future I intend to own a record label.ā€
