I pray to have artistes bigger than Wizkid – Banky W

In a recent interview with a Nigerian radio station, Banky W disclosed that his greatest prayer is to have artistes that will excel more than Wizkid, who is also signed under EME.

Banky W said, “Bad news is more interesting to people than good news and when you don’t give people bad news, they just find a way to create it just to get traffic to their website or sell their newspapers.

Contrary to what was reported, Wizkid never actually left (EME). We understood that we had to restructure because he was getting bigger.

He now has his imprint called, ‘Star Boy’, which is normal. Jay Z signed Kanye (West), who now has G.O.O.D Music. Everything is fine; Wizkid is still with the team. I am very proud of him and I pray that all of my artistes will grow as far as Wizkid and even more.”
