Banky W does not hold anything against Wizkid for not showing up at his wedding last year. The singer cleared the air in a recent interview with This Day.
W wedded actress, Adesua Etomi in Lagos back in 2017. His former protege, Wizkid was absent at the ceremony.
This caused a few raised eyebrows as regards the nature of the two’s relationship.
Mr. W, who has not said anything about it since, explained that Wizkid was being judged unfairly for being absent at the event.
“I think people unfairly judged Wiz,” Banky W said in the interview with This Day.
“A lot of them were a little bit too harsh on him for missing my wedding. Many people forget that around the time of my traditional wedding was also when One Africa Music Fest was going on in Dubai.”
W added that many other artists could not catch up with the event too due to other engagements.
“So, there were many other artistes at the event, who were struggling, trying to make it back to catch up with the wedding.
“In fact, Tiwa Savage had to take the last available economy seat in the plane, even though she had an upper-class ticket for a few days later, just to get her back in time for my wedding.
“It wasn’t just Wizkid that missed it, a lot of people who were at the concert did. Either way, people should know that the relationship between Wizkid and I is deeper than any fame or fortune. Wizkid is my younger brother, he has been for a very long time and that is never going to change.
“We love each other and that’s my brother for life. And honestly, the same goes for Skales, DJ Xclusive, Niyola, Shaydee, MasterKraft, Suka Sounds, Timothy King etc. Everyone we worked with at EME during the early years. There’s a bond between us all, it’s a family affair. No matter what happens, family remains family. Family first, family forever.”
