According to Banky W, Wizkid wanted to leave and he does not like forcing someone to stay because it would create animosity and resentment.
He said, “Wizkid was supposed to do 5 albums but he had done 2 solo albums. I think he wanted to leave and for him, that was enough.
“I did not want anyone to stay when they want to leave cause that would create animosity and resentment.”
Banky W, however, noted that he has a cordial relationship with Wizkid and he did not force the Grammy winner to stay on the label to avoid resentment.

He added, “No, I didn’t try to talk him out of it because I could tell mentally that he was ready to do other things and for me, I always felt some things are meant to happen for a season and that was the season we were meant to be.”
Wizkid was signed to EME in 2009 but left in 2019.
