Nigerian R&B singer and actor, Olubankole Wellington, popularly known by his stage name Banky W, has spoken about the ‘risky’ choreography he engaged in with his wife, Adesua Etomi-Wellington in his latest single, ‘Jo.’
Speaking with Beat 99.9FM, Banky W said that he was inspired after he observed his wife ‘move’ on the dancefloor for the first time years ago.
For him, he had always wanted to do a Salsa or Latin video and seeing her move like that inspired his recent single.
“I was inspired by the first time my wife danced for me. This was like a few years ago of course.
“The first time we were in that kinda intimate moment, I was like ‘wow, I’ve hit the jackpot!’ It was a different kinda dance sister but it was an inspiring moment for me and I always said I was going to write a song about it.
“Cuz you know, we’re married now, we’re in our fourth year and sometimes you look around and marriage now looks like something you have to endure rather than enjoy and I’m just trying to show people that it’s not always like that. I’m having the best years of my life now.
“I always wanted to do a Salsa or Latin flavored video. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for years but I just never really put it together and I’m glad I didn’t because Susu and I in this video, woosh! Where is the flame emoji? We need the flame emoji.
“I’ve done a lot of videos in my life, this might be my favorite video ever. Because there’s so much flavor. It’s turnt. It’s lit. It’s fully lit.
