Cross Okonkwo Supports Whitemoney Amid Controversy

On September 16, 2026, Cross Okonkwo, a BBNaija alumnus, defended fellow reality star Whitemoney, who had revealed on Instagram that he was approached by men for romantic relationships. This disclosure sparked varied reactions online.

Rather than distancing himself from the controversy, Cross publicly supported Whitemoney, stating that having a gentle or feminine demeanor does not diminish a man's heterosexuality. He further shared that he had received similar propositions, including offers of N500 million and $200,000 in cash, along with other material gifts, in exchange for same-gender relationships.

Cross emphasized that he rejected these offers, attributing his decision to the values instilled in him by his mother. He questioned whether public reactions would differ if he had been the one to disclose such messages.

His posts on X garnered a mix of skepticism and support from the public.
