I discovered Wizkid first. not Banky W.
In an interview with the punch, The producer said:
“We
basically started his career and I remember when we had to push Wizkid
around and take him for shows but nobody was ready to allow him to
perform because they were not ‘feeling’ him at that point in time.
“We were behind him when he had the chance and said he wanted to move on and try other things.
“If we did not discover him, he would not have been with us, I was
the first person to go to his family house to tell them that it would be
a nice idea if they allowed him to go into music.
“We have been there from day one but not everybody know this story, we don’t just make noise about it.
“I would soon be 50 years old and I think it would be funny if I start blowing my trumpet,” he added
