BBNaija season 6 winner White Money has vowed to pursue a defamation lawsuit against Uche Maduagwu after the controversial figure made explosive remarks about the reality star's cultural identity.
The trouble started on September 8, 2026, when Maduagwu posted a video on Instagram in which he labelled White Money an "outcast," using the Igbo term "OSU", a deeply sensitive designation historically attached to certain communities in Igbo culture.

Uche Maduagwu went further, alleging that a recent film produced by Joseph Okechukwu was actually rooted in White Money's life story, and that the former BBNaija housemate had paid producers to incorporate his narrative into the project.
"Tell Nigerians why you avoid going to your own village, is it not because you be OSU? Even if everyone Dey critic*ze me, I will never allow you do it to me, for those who don't know about White Money Story, especially about being an OSU, we get all the information, why is he hiding his True Igbo Identity?" Maduagwu wrote in the post.

White Money hits back
The reality star wasted little time before responding.
In his own Instagram video published hours after Maduagwu's post, White Money was blunt, dismissing his accuser as someone without a credible acting career who feeds off other people's relevance.
"You are a nonentity. You are the only Nollywood actor who has never acted in a movie," White Money said, adding that Maduagwu resembled "someone who escaped from a life sentence."
