Banky W Is Sad That He Wasn’t Featured On MI’s New Album
After the long wait for MI’s third studio album which took well over three years to come by, it was officially released some two days ago and amassing as much as 25 features on the album. Sadly, it didn’t include afro R&B turned rap crooner, Banky W.
In baring his support for Mr Incredible, he shared a photo with the caption ”˜Bigups to my favourite rapper on the continent, @mi_abaga on the release of his album. Thank u for continuing to inspire me. Sad that I didn`t get to be on the album, but proud of U, inspired by ur work and wishing u nothing but the best always. Yall make sure u cop this classic.`
Maybe Banky deserved a feature especially since this his new dispensation of I Am Not Even A Rapper Though. Regardless, we can’t deny that their collabos in the past have been worth the effort.
