In the ever-changing world of music, artists often go through different stages in their personal and professional lives. Bankole Wellington, known by his stage name Banky W, recently made a surprising announcement that captivated the attention of his fans and the general public: his decision to relocate with his family to the United States.
Taking to his Instagram account, Banky W shared the news, explaining that the move was motivated by family, faith, and a quest for meaning. He also revealed that he has embarked on a Masters in Policy Management at Georgetown University in Washington DC for the coming year.
The move has sparked various reactions, including from his wife, Adesua, who said that “home is wherever you are.” The couple, who tied the knot in 2017 in South Africa, welcomed their child, Hazaiah, in 2021.
Banky W’s journey is not limited to his music career. Indeed, in 2023, he also entered politics by becoming the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the Eti-Osa Federal Constituency, although he was ultimately defeated by Thaddeus Attah of the Labour Party.
This new chapter in Banky W’s life illustrates his determination to pursue his personal and professional aspirations, while juggling the challenges and opportunities that come with it. His move to the United States to pursue his higher education is a testament to his constant quest for growth and excellence in all areas of his life.
In short, Banky W embodies an inspiring example of how artists can reinvent themselves and pursue new horizons, while remaining true to their roots. His commitment to his family, his faith and his quest for meaning exemplifies a holistic approach to success and happiness. We wish him every success in this new phase of his life and look forward to seeing the fruits of his efforts in the United States.
