On receiving the plaque, he congratulated the Igbos for the recognition, which did not sit well with Do2dtun.
He went on X (formerly known as Twitter) to react to the post saying:
“On behalf of the igbos” I am sorry, that was so unnecessary. It didn’t need that type of narrative. It’s an award won by an African; for Afrobeat and a Nigerian.”
See the tweet below:
Reacting to Do2dtun’s post, Whitemoney went online to explain his side of things. He noted that he was only happy that an Igbo man won the award in a Yoruba-dominated genre – Afrobeat.
He also apologised to Flavour if receiving the award on his behalf had caused more harm than good.

“@do2dtun My bro speak on the things that really matters and leave this bigotry agenda. Na artist wey una make famous don believe say they are now bigger than all of you and can’t even attend award shows that gave them initial platform. You should be advocating that and not someone who thanks his heritage. Una too Dey focus on irrelevant things Abeg. Why can’t artist you supported their growth don’t attend award shows anymore or you afraid to call them out Abi na cos say na white money you feel say he below 💔.”
