He emphasized that their collaboration had been ongoing for about a year before any social media interaction between them. Banky W explained that he discovered Wizkid’s talent while exploring the music of unsigned artists, notably encountering his song during this search. Additionally, he mentioned Wizkid’s prior role as a hype man for the singer Kel before their paths crossed.
