What have you been up to recently?
I’ve been working hard, pretty much. On the music
side, I’ve been working on collaborations with different
artistes. I’ve recently completed really good songs for
Black Magic, Sarkodie, MoCheddah, Lynxxx, Ketchup,
Victoria Kimani and Vector. Internally (within EME), I’m
contributing to Wizkid’s album, as well as projects for
Skales, ShayDee and Niyola. Outside of all this, I’ve
been giving speeches at various events, as well as
working on a couple of potentially great movie
projects.
Is Banky in a relationship?
Not at the moment.
Tell us something no one knows about you .
I’m not sure how many people know this, but I shave
my head and shape my beard myself. I’m my own
barber. I’ve been doing it for years. It started when I
was in University and didn’t have a lot of money, I
learnt to maintain it myself so I didn’t need to spend
money on it every week. And now I’m good at it so I’m
my own barber. I will probably open a barbershop at
some point.
Coming up at the 10th position of the Forbes
rating, how did you feel?
I don’t believe very much in such things. Let’s be
honest, the real wealthy people are the businessmen
like Dangote and the politicians (some of whom got
there by looting Nigeria). They’re the ones with real
money. This entertainment business is too much hype.
It is more fame than fortune. So I’m not thrilled to it
and I don’t think any of us should buy into it too
much. I’d rather be wealthy and quiet than famous
and broke.
What is your normal day like?
I try to pray but I definitely need to do a better job at
that. At least three or four times a week, I try to put in
work-out sessions with my personal trainer. After that
it’s a mix of things; meetings, press obligations, social
outings and performances or appearances that I’m
booked to make.
How did you manage having a scandal free
reputation?
I’d say probably the same reasons I stated above, plus,
I carry myself the way I want people to see me and
treat me. I’m no saint; trust me, not at all. But I am
careful about how much I leave out there because
people will use any and everything possible against
you to bring you down.
How do you relax ?
I try to sneak into the movie theatres occasionally, I
hang out with friends and family, I read novels, and I
love to travel and just go to places where less people
know me so I can walk around and chill.
You like hats a lot, why?
I have stopped wearing them a lot because people
make too much of a big deal about it; my last CD
cover, I went without it, and I do that a lot more these
days. However, I really do like hats, and I think they
add to my styling and make me stand out from the
crowd.
Last word .
To the fans, thank you so much and God bless you all
real good
