Winner of the Brother Naija ‘Shine Ya Eye’ Edition, Whitemoney has recounted some of the challenges he encountered before fame.
In an interview with Young Skales, shared on his Instagram story on Tuesday, Whitemoney said he and his mother could not afford foodstuff while living in Kaduna State as they were broke.
Whitemoney said he packed faeces and cleared the gutter daily with his hands to make money.
According to Whitemoney, he gets the sum of two hundred Naira from each tenant, which he uses to buy foodstuff for himself and his mother.
In his word: “Back then in Kaduna state, I could remember vividly in my compound in Kujama, we were very very broke.
I and my mum could really not afford stuff so what I did basically was, I literally helped the whole compound and the other compound to pack their faeces and use my hand to clear the gutter at the back of the house so that water can flow.
So while I collect those stuff with my hands every day at the end of the day I get 200 naira from each of the tenants and I use the money to buy foodstuff for me and my mum.
Kemi Filani News recalls Uche Maduwagu recently tackled Whitemoney after jubilation about getting an autographed card from former Senator Dino Melaye.
After receiving the card, Whitemoney in a video shared online was heard saying that poverty would not kill him, had made it and would sleep well tonight.
Reacting to this, Uche Maduagwu, in a post shared on his Instagram page, slammed Whitemoney for saying he has been made, unlike his colleague Laycon who had performed for Grammy.
