It is common knowledge that Adesua Etomi’s popular singer, politician, and actor, Olubankole Wellington, also known as Banky W or Mr. Banky, is a Christian.
In a new post, the singer admitted that they were correct about his wife’s influence on him, but in reality, it was the other way around. He talked about an interview he did with a radio station.
“First, God has been part of my backbone and credit for that goes to my folks. The Bible says to train up a child in the way he should grow and when he is old, he will not depart from it. A year before I met Adesua, I made up my mind that I would go to church regularly. Even if I went to a club on Saturday, I would still go to church on Sunday. That was how serious I wanted to be for God. People used to say Adesua led me to God. It was actually the opposite. God led me to Adesua. Both of us rehearsed for five weeks for that dance video, ‘Jo’. One of these days, I would upload our rehearsal video.”
Further, he stated that he titled Wizkid’s debut album “SUPERSTAR” because that is who he is and how he wants people to perceive him. He stated;
“I am proud of what Wizkid is doing. I named his first album, ‘Superstar’, because that is what I wanted people to refer to him as, not as an up-and-coming act that he was back then.’’
He was speaking about why he decided to close his record label, which promoted Wizkid, one of the biggest entertainers in the music industry. His reaction
“I think that was the best thing for us. I think we had done the label part and the majority of those who were under the label found their feet in the industry when they were with us. As far back as 2016, I knew I didn’t have the energy for managing an active label. A year after I shut down the record label, I focused more on working with corporate clients.’’
