Banky W has shocked the entire continent by announcing his engagement. Yes, the most eligible of all Nigerian celebrity bachelors has finally made public, the one person that he would spend the rest of his life with.
Great for guys, bad for his crushes.
If you were officially crushing on Banky W, and listening to his music as a soundtrack to your raging feelings for the man, then this is just weird for you. You aren’t going to believe it, but most of Banky W’s songs in the past 1 year were not just open-ended romantic songs designed to feed your crushing heart.
No. They were not yours. And all of those times where you claimed them, danced to it, sang along, and personalized your notions of a lifetime of you and Mr W together on a distant beach, you were actually doing it wrong.
That’s because the art itself was not meant for you to relate with in that light. Those songs were created for just one woman; one pretty, light-skinned, smiley, and talented lady who already has his heart on lockdown.
That woman is Adesua Etomi, the actress who is extremely popular for her role in the recent comedy, “The Wedding Party.”Turns out Banky W has been in love for over a year and while everyone is going warm over the sight of another celebrity relationship, you should know that Banky W had told us about this earlier.
The song is titled ‘Made for you’, and the video by Banky, and released in February 2016, starred Adesua Etomi as the lead character. They both played lovers, who celebrated their anniversary with a grand display of suffocating romance. There were rose petals, scented sheets, pre-recorded videos, chin-touches and all of that.
The energy and passion between both actors felt real, and connected on a level that was just more than music videos. We were being played. Those people weren’t acting, they were telling us that they were in love.
We just failed to see it. We failed. We played ourselves.
And look at it now. Don’t you feel like you let yourself down? That Banky W and Etomi has gotten one over us, and tricked us for too long. It’s so painful that we have to give it to Banky W. Only a true genius can hide his relationship in his art, and everyone failed to get it.
He has won. Nice one. Well played Banky W. A round of applause. Congratulations.
So to avoid a repeat of this, we have to take measures. Maybe Tekno is really in love with the women in all of his videos. Maybe every girl that has hugged D’banj in a visual has been his wife all along. Maybe, Davido is married to that girl in ‘If’. Maybe, Yemi Alade and Alex Ekubo are really Bonnie and Clyde.
Wear your investigative hats, grab your googles, and let’s do this together. We refuse to get played again. Things smell different these days.
Spartans! What are we……!
