Singer Banky W has denied songwriter Samklef’s accusation against him, saying he was never in control of the royalty split.
In an Instagram post on Sunday, the singer said his name was never on the royalty split sheet Samklef posted and he did not control it as believed by the songwriter.
“Someone should please explain to Samklef that my name is not and was never on this royalty split sheet that he is posting. I’ve never controlled it. He needs to take this up with Sony/ASCAP/BMI and his publisher not me. I’ve never taken a dine off those royalties and never will,” he wrote.
According to Samklef, Banky W, whose real name is Bankole Wellington, told Wizkid to remove Samklef’s name as a contributor in the song.
In an Instagram live video late Friday, Samklef, who produced Wizkid’s then hit song, Pakurumo, off Superstar album, claimed that Banky W failed to properly compensate him (Samklef) for his input in the hit song.
