White Money to critics: I didn’t cause your plight… don’t drag me into #EndBadGovernance protest

White Money, the former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) winner, has responded to critics accusing him of remaining silent on the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protests.

The protests, which commenced on Thursday, have seen numerous Nigerians take to the streets to fight against economic hardship and soaring inflation in various parts of the country.

Dubbed “10 Days of Rage” with the hashtag #EndBadGovernance, the movement has captured national attention.

Since the protests began, many celebrities have remained unusually silent, prompting backlash from fans.

White Money faced criticism after posting a dance video on Instagram amid the protests.

In the comment section, some fans expressed disappointment with a user writing “Your mate de protest you de Zuzu de Zuzu”.

Another user wrote, “So you couldn’t use ur platform to drop even 1 line of remark to plead with the government to the masses or promote the hashtag. Continue.”

Reacting to the backlash on X, White Money said he is not responsible for the “people’s predicament”. He also said he never forced anyone to vote for him during his time on BBNaija.
