Nigerian singer Banky W has revealed that his best friend’s brother Segun Demuren was a major influence in his music career.

The singer said this during a radio interview where he opened up on his trials as a rising artiste in Nigeria.

According to the singer, coming to Nigeria was very challenging because he spent all he had on marketing and video.

He said, as if being broke was not enough, his car got damaged after his caretaker ran the vehicle into a wall. This led him into a state of depression.

When he suffered depression due to lack of fortune from the fame he had amassed, his friend Segun Demuren took a loan to help him release his famous hit, “Strong Thing”.

He said, “Segun actually went to borrow money and gave it to me,” and said “I should use a fraction of it to fix my car while I use the rest for my album.”

“I decided to start again but work differently. I changed my method and approach,” he added.

“I worked with Cobhams and the first song we did was ‘Strong Thing.’ That was the song that changed the game for me,” he said.

Banky then urged his listeners never to give up when faced with any form of travails by crying over their past.

According to him, “Crying over your past is not going to do anything for you.”
