Reality TV winner and singer WhiteMoney has reached out to content creator Carter Efe with a message of solidarity after news broke that Carter’s US visa application was turned down, preventing him from attending Kai Cenat’s Streamer University, a programme he had already earned a spot in.

In the clip, the BBNaija star acknowledged Carter Efe as one of Africa’s top streamers, particularly on Twitch, and said the visa denial should not be allowed to derail his momentum.
To drive the point home, WhiteMoney drew from his own experience, revealing that he had auditioned for Big Brother Naija three times and had been turned away each time before finally entering the house on his fourth try and going on to win the show.

“I understand rejection. I understand how you feel. I know. I’m so sorry about that,” he said in the clip.
Rather than simply offering sympathy, the singer pushed Carter Efe to see the bigger picture, reminding him of what he has already built.
“You have done what a lot of streamers in your generation in Africa have not done: you are undoubtedly one of the biggest African streamers we have. On Twitch, you’re one of the biggest. You rack views, you rack subs, you’re good at what you do. Let that not bring your energy down; rather, let it fuel the trajectory of the next phase of your life,” he said.
WhiteMoney closed by encouraging Carter Efe to try the visa application again next year.
“You’re not defined by that.”
In his caption, WhiteMoney wrote:
“Wwwwwww in the chat for this young man called @carterefe. Your light 💡 can’t be dimmed bro 😎……OTAMIEMIE”
