Popular musician and actor, Banky W, on Tuesday celebrated his best friend, Captain Segun Demuren, who turned a year older.
In an Instagram post, the ‘Lagos Party’ singer traced the beginning of their friendship to 24 years ago when they were both 13.
“He’s still my best friend and my brother. But he’s also my business partner, right hand, confidant, and dream builder,” Banky W wrote.
The entertainer-turned politician added that Demuren has had a crucial role in almost everything he has accomplished in his adult life.
“My dreams have come true partly because he dreamt and built them with me. He’s the most supportive, encouraging, reliable and trustworthy person you will ever meet. I pray for him today, that him and his family will never lack, and that God’s grace will never depart from his life,” Banky added.
He also prayed that his readers find a friend like Demuren.
Banky and Segun Demuren founded Empire Mates Entertainment as students back in 2002 in New York.
The music arm of the business was launched in 2008.
Both men have gone on to play more significant roles in each other’s life.
Banky was best man when Tunde got married to broadcaster, Tolu “Toolz” Oniru, in 2016.
The roles were reversed when Banky got married to actress, Adesua Etomi, in 2017.
A pilot by training, Segun is the son of former director-general of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Agency (NCAA), Dr Harold Demuren.
