#BAAD2017 #CAPETOWNGOTTAKEN PART 2 OF ADESUA WEDS BANKY W

Sealed with a KISS! 

Those polka dotted socks yummy

Groom's men

Groom and Best man

We had expected that the dudes would be dapper and the dudettes (dudes is unisex though) to be chic! We weren't disappointed, as they made the effort.

Imagine flying to such a beautiful, far place like Capetown and not even trying at all!

The groom's men in their white tuxedos repped. It was obvious they reveled in their role. Groom as always and as was expected was on point, the fine boy no pimple, was looking quite smart.

Noble, who was expected to be a groom's man, but wasn't dressed as one looked cool, his wife gorgeous, Ebuka the hunk didn't upstage anyone this time around, but still looked good, he would do pretty well as a model, just in case, his pretty & loveable was besides him.

All in all, it was like a fairy tale wedding. Romance was overpoweringly in the air and it radiated well on most.

Check out the gorgeous pictures.

ON TO THE NEXT- MR & MRS BANKOLE & ADESUA WELLINGTON OFF TO CAPETOWN FOR THE WHITE #BAAD2017

After staging the one of a kind traditional/engagement tagged #BAAD2017 #TRAD for the whole world, and then doing the secret registry bit yesterday, it's on to the next segment of #BAAD2017. Now the hashtag would read #whiteweddingincapetown.

The couple left lastnite on their way to picturesque CAPETOWN, SA to conclude/finalise the ceremonies with a church wedding, which is like sealing what is already a legal union with church blessings. Unlike the Lagos, Nigeria affair, this would be a more intimate setting kind of, with close family members, few friends and other guests who can make it to South Africa in attendance.

The Lagos leg was stunning and seems like it has broken the internet, this duo have gotten love from all and are equally madly in love.

The besotted lovebirds had things to say on their different social media handles, Banky's is captured above in the screen shot and Adesua's is reproduced below-

…And we’re off to Capetown💃💃💃

WHEN OLUWABANKOLE WELLINGTON AKA 'BANKY W' WEDDED ADESUA ETOMI IN #BAAD2017 #TRAD

UPDATED. Over 80 lovely pictures for your viewing pleasure.

....You gave me the kiss of life...

Fine boy groom in Royal Blue Aso-Oke

Unveiling his rib....

Banky and heartthrob Adesua

As was expected it was a sumptuously colourful traditional wedding ceremony. Not only was it very colourful, it was supremely stylish to the hilt, everyone made an effort to look totally on point, the colour choice was awesome, burgundy and lilac, Royal blue.....totally a perfect choice. The bride, everly beautiful and in your face gorgeous, wore a "standoutly gorgeous", "made to thrill", very sexy off the shoulder made to measure outfit by young badass designer Toju Foyeh.

That it was colourful has already being established above, it was also awesomely star studded, it was like the stars rained down relentlessly on the venue like torrents, they came and came and were part of the reason that the wedding can be tagged "one of the biggest weddings of the season", they were mostly people in the entertainment industry though, except for maybe Tony Elumelu who came in for like 10minutes and left and Mo Abudu the Ebony life boss who is close to both stars marrying, apart from these two many of those who came were the usual suspects, so no need to start naming names.

Ebuka the hunk stood out on his Agbada, tall, well built, handsome and stylish, take a bow, Rita "the incredible" Dominic, was standout in her sexy black outfit, it's like she can't get it wrong on the style stake, we totally loved Beverly Naya's outfit, so also Toke Makinwa and many others.

#BAAD2017 lived up to all the prehype and expectations in all ramifications, the upcoming white wedding is said to be planned for the very idyllic Cape Town, South Africa, which is rated as one of the 'most beautiful spots on Earth. This romantic duo and their entourage would do that City a lot of good we believe.

The traditional wedding was on Sunday, November 19, 2017, the venue was Landmark event centre, the wow wedding decor was heavenly and much attention to detail was put into it as it was very obvious, everything was on point, planned to the t. It's obvious that all that went had super fun, it was very visible in their mien and outlook. Like they would say, it was lit🎆.

Banky's colleague in the music industry entertained him, his wife and his guests; On stage were the sumptuously gorgeous Tiwa Savage, also was Falz the bad guy and then also the ageless Tuface Idibia, who had to cut short his holiday in Dubai with wife to attend the event.

But the most obvious and most important thing about it all, that was very plain for all to see, is that these 2, these stylish duo, these 2 peas in a pod, are madly in love, so so into each other, they are the perfect example of what is called Ying & Yang, both have found a balance in each other, no acting, no forming, just plain and simply LOVE! And like D'banj said years back in one of his greatest hits, "Love is a beautiful thing............Banky Wellington is quite obviously, crazily, madly, awesomely, gobsmarkingly, undeniably, stupendously, superbly, unconditionally, undisputably in Love with Adesua and it's obvious also that it is reciprocal!

Kudos and congratulations to the newly wedded couple.

More stunning pictures after the break.

TOOLZ DEMUREN PROUDLY UNVEILS BABY BUMP

In the picture above, Captain Tunde Demuren PROUDLY and excitedly cuddles his wife's growing bump. A good way of saying "PROUDLY done by me".

Congratulations.

FUTURE MRS. BANKY WELLINGTON REACTS TO THE BANKY'S ANNOUNCEMENT

It's been like an avalanche of goodwill from all corners since the announcement was made about Banky W hooking Adesua Etomi.

In response, the gorgeous thespian, Adesua Tolulope Oluwaseun Etomi has reacted also too with her own version of their love match. Hear her-

WIZKID & FRIEND

WIZKID, 2 BABA & OTHERS



ON THEIR FLIGHT TO HOUSTON

BANKY W & WIZZY

Going to strip clubs is one of the favourite pastimes that stars and celebs enjoy. They seem to love the sheer pleasure of seeing how their money gets the strippers in a frenzy to perform some super awesome moves. Just imagine very acrobatic and most often well endowed ladies doing some moves that might readily defy explanations.

We have seen many stars & celebs throwing money out like rain on some of these strippers. One of those who enjoys doing that sort of thing, is none other than money making machine extraordinaire Floyd 'Money' Mayweather, who is the undisputed Welterweight Champion of the world. Who seem to be making money faster than he can spend it.

So if 'Money' can do it, why can't our own star singer extraordinaire, in the person of Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun aka Wizkid do it also. With money coming in for the dude left,right, center, up and down, from performance engagements right around the world, to signing stupendous endorsements-MTN, Pepsi etc. Why not?  So if you have it in torrents, why not spend it like a glorious unstoppable water fall!!!!

And as if to tell all we sanctimonious bitches, who would soon be mouthing of about, how not to do things, to go get a life, one it's his money he is spending, two how is affecting you? So Wizkid says "F%"! you to you all.

Picture was taken in Houston, where Wizkid and his mentor Banky W were last night to perform, also there were the likes of 2Face Idibia, Timaya. Banky W an Wizkid had left Nigeria about 2 nights ago aboard a flight to the US in the first class section.

MR W IS BACK!!

E.M.E Chairman, Banky W, was expected to deliver the very highly anticipated #R&BW album earlier this year... however, in a move that caught his numerous fans and followers by surprise, he postponed the release of his solo material to put the EME Crew in the forefront. 

This turned out to be a good decision for the crew, as 2012 witnessed the release of the "Empire Mates State Of Mind" album arguably Nigeria's biggest and best album this year.

Fans all over the world were thrilled as EME churned out hit song after hit song from the album, with big-budget, and painstakingly produced videos to accompany them. 
Being the creative mind behind the Label, Banky has established EME and its talented artistes in the hearts and minds of millions of fans worldwide.

As a businessman and record executive, he has enjoyed tremendous success. Banky W is accomplished as an M.C/host, having hosted events such as the 2011 Channel O Awards, and many similar high profile events. Banky has also launched his acting career with a Stellar debut recurring role on the final season of MNET's hit TV show "Jacob's Cross". He also remains one of the most relevant voices for Nigeria's youth, taking prominent roles in everything from #LightUpNigeria to the Fuel Subsidy Protests.
 
However, fans of Banky  the Singer have been wondering when Africa's R&B King would take a break from being a businessman, loosen up his tie, and get back in the booth. He's had his fair share of collaborations with Artistes in and outside EME, but it's been almost three years since the release of "Strong Ting" and "Lagos Party", evergreen songs which cemented Mr. W's place in the Nigerian Music Scene, and kick-started the tremendous success the label has experienced.
 
Now, Mr W, the singer, is back!

Two brand new singles lead the way for the forthcoming #R&BW album. The first is "Yes/No", where we see Banky once again team up with the legendary Cobhams Asuquo, to create another undeniably evergreen Nigerian ballad. Lovers of love songs will be thrilled beyond limits as Banky effortlessly shows off his vocal prowess over a perfect musical backdrop from Cobhams. 

The second single, "Good Good Loving" is produced by Spellz. African R&B has never sounded so fresh. 

If these two songs are any indication, the #R&BW album WILL undoubtedly be another masterpiece; another classic product from Nigeria's leading label EME; and the expectations of Banky's long-starved fans will be met - maybe even exceeded. 

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr W is back, and it sounds fantastic.

 

NIYIOLA'S ''DON'T DELAY ME'' VIDEO SHOOT

Some of Nigeria's hottest acts came together on the video set of the track, "Dont Delay Me" by EME featuring sultry singer and new EME signee, Niyola.

EME chairman and R&B powerhouse, Banky W and the EME crew are not slowing down as this is the sixth video off the EME collaboration album, Empire State of Mind which was released in June, 2012.

Directed by the award winning Igho, the video was shot in the heart of Lagos and boasts of cameo appearances by the EME crew, Ladies man, Lynxxx and Rave of the moment, DammyKrane. 

The video is set for release later in the year and promises to leave fans wanting more.
