Banky W explained that there was a time he was convinced Adesua Etomi was the one for him, but she didn’t initially feel the same way.
After several unsuccessful attempts to win her over, the singer said he reached a breaking point.
“I was like, I’m not talking to her again,” he recalled
At the time, he began to question his past relationships, admitting that he wondered if heartbreak was now his own lesson to learn.
Rather than completely walking away, Banky W said he chose a different path—friendship.
He described Adesua as “one of the best friendships” he had ever experienced, noting that maintaining that bond brought them closer than ever.
Still, he held on to his belief that they were meant to be together. Turning to his faith, he said he made a quiet but firm decision.
“I went to God and said, ‘If you want us together, go and tell her,’” he shared.
