VIDEO: WATCH NAETO C AND M.I TALK ABOUT HEADLINING HENNESSY ARTISTRY 2012

After last year’s trio of Banky W, eLDee and Tiwa Savage thrilled Nigerians with a series of club tour performances, a music collaboration and video, M.I (who returns for the third time) and Naeto C will be taking the reins in the sixth edition of the annual music project.

‘In 2009, I supported the Hennessy Artistry urban music competition by headlining the Finale concert. In 2010, I was privileged to be part of the collaboration with Sir Shina Peters, and then last year, although I wasn’t part of the official campaign, I was invited by Hennessy to travel to France with Banky W, Eldee and Jesse Jagz. I’m revved up!’ said M.I

‘I’M NOT GAY’ BANKY W SAYS

Nigerian R&B singer, Banky W has reacted to rumours about his sexuality.

The singer mentioned this during an interview he granted to Y! Magazine, saying ‘It’s hilarious to me and completely false. I’m not. Maybe it’s because I’m not married, and I practice safe sex and thus have no children yet.’

Speaking on his political ambitions, the EME label boss confessed his desire to constantly throw his weight behind candidates he believes in, since he can’t run for office himself ‘…our constitution states that you have to have been born in Nigeria to qualify. I wasn’t, so I don’t qualify anyway. I figure my time will be better spent throwing as much support behind candidates that I feel should be the ones leading the country’, he said.

Banky W and his label mates recently released an all-star album titled ‘Empire Mates State of Mind’ and are currently on a U.S tour that will end on Sunday, September 2, 2012.
