Adesua Responds To Critics, Discloses Reason Her Music And Banky’s Sound Alike

Nollywood actress cum singer, Adesua Etomi-Wellington, has responded to critics comparing her to her husband, Banky W.

Naija News reports that Adesua who recently delved into the music industry has been under heavy criticism.

The mother of one, last year, released her debut EP called Sue Me which consisted of songs like “Too Much”, “Hold You Down”, “Dodged A Bullet”, and more.

However, some individuals have alleged that Adesua’s music sound so much like Banky’s, they have to be written by him.

Adesua, while speaking during an interview with Pulse explained that she has sung that way for years.

According to her, “I never thought of myself as an artiste per se, I just knew that I loved singing and at some point in my life, I would love for people to hear me sing. And I think that’s kinda like where it stopped until obviously, I met Banky, and he was just always like “you sing, why aren’t you doing anything with it? When God gives you gifts, he expects you to use it”. And, after having Zaiah, I was just like why not? Because at some point in my life, I know I’m going to tell my son to go for it, and how much of a hypocrite would I be if I don’t go for it and I’m telling him to go for it.

“Throughout this journey, people keep saying things like “oh you and Banky sound alike”, but I’ve sounded like this for years! And I think maybe it’s a thing of our style of music and how much we love R & B, and maybe the eras we were influenced by. So I hear a lot that we sound alike, and for me, that is a compliment because I think he is insanely talented and I love his voice. It has this beautiful rasp and rawness to it, and I just think it’s so God-given and obviously, he has honed it over the years as well. So I love love love his sound.”
