Summary: BBNaija star Cross Okonkwo opens up about shocking indecent proposals he has personally received, as he throws his full support behind colleague WhiteMoney who was dragged online for calling out a man who slid into his DMs.
If you thought the streets of social media were calm this week, think again. The BBNaija fam is buzzing, and this time it is not about drama in the house — it is playing out right here in our timelines.
Popular BBNaija star Cross Okonkwo*, widely known as *Cross da Boss*, has stepped forward to defend his fellow housemate and good friend *WhiteMoney, after the latter found himself in the eye of a storm for publicly calling out a man who allegedly sent him romantic advances through his DMs.

What Started the Fire?
WhiteMoney — real name Hazel Oyeze Okonkwo — had taken to social media to blast a man who slid into his direct messages with what many described as inappropriate advances. Rather than keep quiet and let it slide (pun intended), WhiteMoney called the man out publicly, and the internet, being the internet, had a lot to say about it.
Some people praised him for speaking up. Others, however, came for him hard — questioning everything from his reaction to his character. Classic Nigerian Twitter behaviour, honestly.

Cross Da Boss Steps Into the Ring
Not one to sit on the fence when his people are being dragged unfairly, Cross wasted no time jumping to WhiteMoney’s defence. But he did not stop at just offering words of solidarity — he went a step further and dropped a jaw-dropping personal revelation.
According to Cross, he himself has been on the receiving end of similar — and arguably far more outrageous — proposals.
> “I have been offered ₦500 million naira and $200,000 to sleep with a man, and I refused.”
Let that sink in for a moment. Five hundred million naira.* Two hundred thousand dollars. And he said *no.

Why This Matters
In a country where financial pressure is real and the cost of living is biting harder than ever, Cross’s confession is not just tea — it is a statement. It takes a certain level of conviction and self-respect to turn down that kind of money, regardless of what it is being offered for.
By sharing this, Cross was effectively saying: “WhiteMoney is not alone. This is something that happens, and there is nothing wrong with refusing or speaking out about it.”

The Bigger Conversation
What this whole saga highlights is a conversation Nigerians are increasingly having — the pressure that comes with fame, money, and the entertainment industry. Many young men and women in the spotlight face propositions that never make it to public knowledge. Cross and WhiteMoney choosing to speak openly about theirs is, whether you agree with how they handled it or not, a bold move.
It also raises questions about why WhiteMoney was criticised for simply calling out behaviour he found uncomfortable. Would the reaction have been different if the roles were reversed?

Bottom Line
Cross da Boss has shown that brotherhood in the BBNaija family goes beyond the house. He stood by his colleague, kept it real with his own story, and reminded us all that integrity does not have a price tag — not even one with nine zeros.
As for WhiteMoney, he can rest easy knowing he has got solid people in his corner.
