Banky W narrates how he overcame porn addiction (Video)

Published

Banky W says he overcame porn addiction and promiscuity by filling a “God void” he long had.

The singer, in an interview, spoke of the vices that plagued him during the early days of his music career.

He said struggled with feelings of emptiness, despite having amassed wealth and running a successful music label.

“In the eyes of the world I was a successful artiste, but I still felt empty and wretched,” the music executive said.

“There were things I was struggling with on a personal basis. Everything from promiscuity to pornography — just real things that people struggled with on a personal basis.

“This is now getting to areas where one feels that one is in bondage and one is trying to clean oneself.

“So you are just stuck in this place of feeling far from God, feeling separated from God. Feeling that I have made a little bit of money but I am still not happy.

“I have been fortunate to be able to do what I love for a living for a long time. I am grateful for the small success we have experienced in music, in film, in other ventures. But there is what I call a God-shaped void inside every man.

“Until you start to fill that void with God, you will find that you will come up short regardless of what success you have or how successful or happy you may seem in the eyes of the world.

“There is an emptiness you feel when you are disconnected from that source. It is a purpose thing, not a pay thing. It’s a meaning thing, not about money. That’s why you see some of these billionaires commit suicide.”

Gospel singer Testimony Jaga gives Portable 3 days to apologise for slapping preacher

Testimony Jaga, the Nigerian gospel singer, has given Portable a three-day ultimatum to apologise to the preacher he slapped.

The ‘Zazoo Zeh’ hitmaker was heavily criticised on social media on Monday for slapping the man who he claimed was preaching close to his bar.

Jaga, while joining the chorus of condemnation against Portable, said he should have reported to the right authorities if the preacher’s actions were wrong.

In a video shared on his Instagram page, the gospel artiste claimed to have received divine instruction to advocate for the preacher.

He also warned Portable to issue a public apology within three days or face consequences.

“I’m giving you three days to apologise to that man,” he wrote.

“If that man Portable slapped is doing something wrong, can’t he call the law enforcement agencies to arrest him?

“Even if he does not like what the man was doing, he could have easily chased him away not slap him. That is somebody’s father, husband and uncle.

“If the pastor was a famous person who uses security guards, would he have slapped him? It is because the man has no one.

“I’m not against Portable, he might have done it out of pride but if he realises what he did, he should go and apologize to the man and make a video.

“That’s a mockery of someone’s God. Telling the man to go and call his God, is mockery. He has called his God and that’s why someone like me is talking now.

“God has told me to fight for the man. Who are we to judge anyone?”

Dammy Krane petitions police over rift with Davido, demands $500k payment

Dammy Krane has petitioned Kayode Egbetokun, the inspector general of police, over his lingering dispute with Davido.

The feud between the pair started in October 2023 after Krane called out Davido on social media, claiming he owed him for songwriting contributions.

Krane also accused the ‘Assurance’ hitmaker of sabotaging his record deal with Sony Music.

In response to the allegations, Davido labeled Krane “ungrateful” and claimed he received no payment for their collaborations. Davido also mentioned that he provided shelter and support for Krane when he was homeless.

Since then, Krane has continued to attack Davido on social media; even accusing him of being involved in the death of his friend Tagbo Umeike. Tagbo died from alleged alcohol poisoning in October 2017.

Davido dismissed claims and threatened to sue Krane for “defamation of character and cyberbullying”.

In a letter posted on his social media pages, Krane accused Davido of several wrongdoings while addressing five key concerns.

The singer alleged that Davido and his allies are threatening his life. He also called for the re-opening of Tagbo’s death case.

Krane pleaded with the inspector-general to help lift the restrictions on his bank accounts, which he claimed made it difficult for him to access his funds.

The singer also appealed to Egbetokun to get Davido to “pay me all the money he owed for the song ‘Pere’”.

He claimed Davido agreed to pay him $500,000 for their collaborative song but has refused to pay him.
