Popular reality star Whitemoney, known to fans as Hazel Oyeze Onou, was noticeably absent from the 10th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) held on Saturday in Lagos. In a lighthearted video message shared on his Instagram account, Whitemoney jokingly explained his reason for skipping the ceremony.
“I’ve been getting calls about missing the AMVCAs,” Whitemoney said. “But how could I possibly go with what these guys were wearing?”
He then humorously highlighted some of the most talked-about outfits, including Neo Akpofure’s dress and Elozonam’s angelic all-white ensemble. Whitemoney playfully suggested these extravagant looks came at a high price, potentially exceeding one million naira (around $2,300 USD) when accounting for both the outfit and stylist fees.
“Look, I’m not an actor, so the AMVCA pressure isn’t for me,” Whitemoney continued. “Imagine spending over a million naira for a dress you’ll only wear once! The ladies were slaying too, by the way. Next year, maybe. But for now, a word to the wise: pay your designers in full to avoid them calling you out online!”
