Hazel Oyeze Onou, popularly known as Whitemoney, has stirred controversy after calling out fellow reality stars Mercy Eke and Maria Chike Benjamin during a TikTok live session.
Whitemoney, who rose to fame after winning Big Brother Naija Season 6, made the remarks while engaging in what he described as playful banter online. During the livestream, he mocked Mercy Eke over her personal life, career choices, and cosmetic procedures.
He said, “The other one went, they didn’t marry her, they didn’t date her. They used her and dumped her, gave her a Lambo as compensation. Now, she is free and fair, just like the election in Nigeria. Oh! She went to chase a master’s degree in the UK. She came back to Nigeria not feeling okay. Now, she is here, about to beg on TikTok.”
Whitemoney also criticized her cosmetic surgeries, adding, “Who does BBL and beg? Who does liposuction and beg? Who does tummy tuck? Yet, cannot tuck in her points.”
Turning his attention to Maria Chike, he warned her against joining the livestream, claiming it would expose her. He stated, “On this live stream, Maria, you will regret why you joined TikTok. On this live stream, Maria, you will become very, very black. On this live stream, Maria, they will know your true colour.”
He further referenced his past interactions with Mercy during the BBNaija “All Stars” edition, which he linked to his eventual eviction from the show.
He added, “You kissed me first in the club and I came out. I wanted to kiss you back. What did I see? I saw a shadow behind you. What was that shadow? It was a native doctor that said, Don’t kiss her. Your destiny will fail. And I went ahead and disobeyed the native doctor. I kissed you. As I kissed you. And later that night, I did not wake up again. The next morning, they evicted me. Look at you. Do you think that is Goodluck Jonathan? That is bad luck Ebele.”
“Mercy Eke and Maria Chike are the first two light skin ladies from Big brother that never made it in life. One married successfully. The other didn’t marry, was used and dumped and was given Lambo as compensation.”
