‘I Was Not Paid To Appear On Big Brother Naija’ – Banky W Reacts To Gifty’s Claim

Banky W, Nigerian singer and rapper visited the Big Brother Naija house on February 15, and received a warm welcome from the housemates.

Gifty, one of the Big brother Naija housemate, claimed she doesn’t know Banky W and also called him a fake and proud artist during her diary session. According to her, he had acted like he was paid to come and ‘impress’ the housemates.

The ‘wedding party’ actor has reacted to the claims and also stated that he wasn’t paid to visit the housemates, he just happened to be in South Africa where the show is being hosted and the producers asked him as a favour to come visit the housemates.

He wrote:

Lol..okay, Quick thoughts:

Yall shld pls try and have mercy on her.
1) Not sure why she feels like I have “proudness”, but I certainly wasn’t paid to appear. I was in town for another gig and the producers asked if I could come on as a favour and give the contestants some advice that will be helpful to them down the line, which is all I tried to do. I think all the other contestants enjoyed our time together so it’s all good.
2) The thoughts I shared weren’t for the contestants alone; hopefully my words were beneficial to all the viewers at home.
3) It’s okay if Gifty, or anyone else doesn’t know who I am. I never assume that they do, or that they should. Pls if you don’t know me, feel free to epp my career – Google me or look up my music catalogue on YouTube.. or watch the wedding party movie. Whenever Gifty does make it home, she will have the opportunity to do the same.
Lastly, big thank you to the #bbnaija
Producers for having me on. I truly enjoyed my time on the show, and I always gain a sense of fulfilment whenever I get the chance to share my story and life lessons with people.
