Very impressed at what Wizkid is achieving, EME boss, Banky W has said he is proud of his former protege who grew under his record label and expressed profound desire for all his other artistes to be as successful as the Star Boy.
In a recent chat with Channels TV, Banky said he has no grouse with Wizkid for going to form his own record label Star Boy, saying it is indeed his desire for artistes to grow big enough to form their own record labels.
“I signed Wiz and he blew up. Now he is doing ‘Star Boy’ (music label) and that is a good thing. It’s not a bad thing…
The interesting thing is to allow an artist to renegotiate. Wizkid has earned the right to sit at the table to do what he wants to do and I hope all my artistes are as successful as Wizkid.”
Clearing the air on any animosity between him and the Caro crooner, the Samsumg Africa ambassador opined,
”I think that people tend to make things a little more negative than they are.
Every label executive prays for their artistes to grow to the point when they want to set up their own label and they have the ability to do so. It is a natural progression in music.”
