Reality TV personality and musician Hazel Oyeze Onou, known as Whitemoney, has advised his teammates to pay the designers of their outfits for the 10th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards, or AMVCA, to avoid embarrassment.
According to reports, Nigerian and African celebrities from all walks of life exuded glamour as they gathered at the Eko Hotel & Suites in Lagos for the 10th AMVCA on Saturday.
Whitemoney has issued a warning against being indebted to its designers in order to avoid public disgrace following their famous fashion statements at the AMVCA.
Speaking in a video message shared via his Instagram account, the former Big Brother Naija winner said, “I’ve been getting calls about my absence from the AMVCA. How would I go, are you not seeing what these brothers are wearing?
“Take a look at Neo Akpofure’s dress. Elozonam was dripping in an all-white outfit like an angel deported from heaven to create his own heaven on earth. Saga was like all these pink Barbie gentlemen. His dress was awesome. I can’t match their styles. To make an outfit befitting for the AMVCA, you would spend not less than one million naira and you will still have to pay for a stylist.
“I’m not an actor so I’m not even bothered. AMVCA na pressure. Imagine paying over a million naira for a dress you would only wear once. The ladies were just killing it. Next year we move. I can’t relate. But please, make sure you pay your designers in full to avoid them calling you out on social media.”
