Big Brother Naija Season 6 winner, Hazel Oyeze Onou, popularly known as Whitemoney, has threatened legal action against Nollywood actor Uche Maduagwu over remarks the reality star described as defamatory.
The controversy began after Maduagwu referred to Whitemoney as an “Osu” in an Instagram video and questioned aspects of the reality star’s background.
Maduagwu also accused Whitemoney of gossiping about him and challenged him to explain why he allegedly avoids visiting his hometown.
The comments prompted a strong reaction from Whitemoney, who expressed his displeasure over the remarks and warned Maduagwu that he could face legal consequences.
Whitemoney said he had known Maduagwu from his days in Surulere but expressed surprise at the actor’s recent comments. He accused him of making the statements to gain attention.
The reality star said his lawyer would take action over what he described as defamatory remarks, indicating that the matter could move beyond social media exchanges.
The development has generated attention among fans and followers of both entertainers, as the dispute shifts from an online exchange to a potential legal confrontation.
As of the report, there was no indication that a lawsuit had been formally filed against Maduagwu. Whitemoney’s comments amounted to a threat of legal action over the remarks.
