Nigerian music executive and politician, Bankole Wellington better known as Banky W, has dismissed claims of signing Big Brother Naija season 6 winner and singer, Whitemoney, to his record label, Empire Mates Entertainment (EME).
Some weeks back, a report emerged online that Whitemoney has been signed to EME record label, and photos seemingly showing the moment the deal was signed and sealed made rounds online.
The reality show star also took to Twitter to share the photos with a suggestive caption that seemed like he was indeed an EME signee.
He wrote, “Now that we are in good hands, let the music flow.
“EGWU” & “YOU BAD” drops: 23/09/22
Are You Ready????”

At the time the news was shared online, it was met with mixed reactions from netizens who shared their thoughts on the collaboration.
In a new development, Banky W, in a recent interview on HotFM Lagos, disclosed that he didn’t sign Whitemoney to his record label, and in fact, he doesn’t own a record label anymore because they rebranded as a media and marketing agency in 2017.
According to the music personality, he only handled an ambassadorial deal between Whitemoney and a company EME consults for, nothing more.
