 North Korea fired several ballistic missiles into the sea Monday, South Korea’s military said, hours after South Korean and U.S. troops kicked off their large annual combined drills, which the North views as an invasion rehearsal.  South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missile firings, North Korea’s fifth missile launch event this year, were detected from the North’s Hwanghae province but gave no further details such as how far they flew.  Earlier Monday, the South Korean and U.S. militaries began their annual joint military exercises, which are scheduled to last 11 days. The Freedom Shield command post exercise began after the South Korean and U.S. militaries paused live-fire training while Seoul investigates how two of its fighter jets mistakenly bombed a civilian area during a warm-up drill last week.  The drills' start drew the condemnation of nuclear-armed North Korea, which issued a government statement calling the exercises a “dangerous provocative act...

HOW I DISCOVERED WIZKID- BANKY W. (PHOTO).


 How I discovered Wizkid – Banky W


Nigerian singer and music executive, Bankole Wellington, aka Banky W, has revealed how he discovered his former signee, Wizkid.


He said contrary to speculations that he discovered the ‘Ojuelegba’ crooner on social media, he found him in the studio.


Banky W explained that old tweet from Wizkid urging him to sign him was a joke, stressing that he had already signed Wizkid then and that they were just joking on social media.


Speaking in a video message making the waves on X, the singer-turned-pastor urged fans to let God and their helpers find them woking.


He said, “Let God and the helper that he would use find you doing something. For some people, God will only find you tweeting.


“Just a few days ago, I noticed my Twitter was going crazy. And I went on and I discovered that people found an old tweet from Wizkid where he said, ‘Hey, Mr Banky, my name is Wizkid. I’m upcoming artist. Please, I need you to help me.’ And then they found a reply that I said, ‘Okay, please send me your demo.’


“And people were pointing to that as the inception of the moment where Wizkid and I started working together. And I hate to burst everybody’s bobble, but that moment was just a joke.


“We have actually been working together for about a year. He has been signed, we have been making music and releasing music. We were just being playful at the time when those tweets were sent.


“I didn’t find wizkid from him tweeting, I found him while he was working. I heard his music when I was just listening to a bunch of unsigned artists.


“Before he even started working with me, he had already recorded a chorus with M.I. The very first day I saw Wiz in person, we was a back-up singer for Kellz at an event. He was faithfully serving as Kellz’s hypeman.”


Banky W signed Wizkid to his label, Empire Mates Entertainment in 2009.


He later rose to the limelight after releasing “Holla at Your Boy”, the lead single from his debut studio album, Superstar (2011).


Wizkid exited EME after the release of his sophomore album, ‘Ayo’ in 2014.
