Banky W Set To Reconcile Tee Billz, Tiwa Savage
If the news making rounds in
the social media is anything to go by, estranged couple, Tiwa Savage and hubby Tee Billz, will soon be back in each other’s arm. R & B singer Banky W is out to help the couple reconcile after their messy social media fight that revealed the messy fight in the marriage and eventually made the couple go their separate ways.
Bank W also known as ‘Mr. Capable’ is helping the estranged couple sort out their marital issues and get back together. The singer who was Tee Billz’s best man during their wedding revealed this in an interview recently. He was quoted: “I haven’t commented on the Tiwa and Teebillz situation because I think that some things are better worked out behind closed doors. One of my problems with the world is that we comment too much. I am a strong believer in not letting the world see or discuss your dirty laundry.”
“I believe in keeping it within the family or behind closed doors and trying to do the best job that you can. I am not going to change my stance on Tiwa and Tee Billz. I will say that I love both of them dearly and as a friend all I am trying to do is to be there for them, trying to help them work through the issues that they have. I wish them all the best,” he added.
The singer is one individual that values relationship a lot; he recently celebrated 21 years of friendship between him and Tunde Demuren. Meanwhile, after being single for so long and having witnessed the wedding of most of them, Banky W is considering settling down to start a family soon. His fans have also either been pushing themselves to him or suggesting eligible female celebrities to him.
Meanwhile, Banky W was at Tunde Demuren and Toolz’s wedding where he played the key role of best man to his friend of over 20 years. Also at the wedding was Banky’s EME label artist Niyola and the two of them took selfie together. Niyola shared the photo on her Instagram on Saturday recently and it has generated talks since then. Many of her fans are saying Niyola looks good together and thus should get married.
Niyola is ripe for marriage as she is 30 years old while Bank W is the odd man out among his friends. He is the only one yet to get married and he has promised to take time off music so as to settle down and raise a family. So far, both Banky W and Niyola have been alleged to be dating.
