BN Exclusive: Behind the Scenes at Banky W’s ‘Lagos Party’ Video Shoot
Posted on Monday, November 16th, 2009 at 3:14 PMBy BellaNaija.com
They don’t call him Mr. Capable for nothing! Banky W has been showing his proverbial muscle over the last few weeks. Not only has his single “Strong Ting” been heating up the radio charts, the video for the song has been on the number 1 spot on SoundCity premium channel for two weeks running, Number 1 on Nigezie and the video also hit the coveted number 1 shot on MTV Base African countdown.
Now Mr. W is breaking even more new ground, on the 30th of October 2009 at the Lagoon Crest in Lekki, he shot the video for his hit single “Lagos Party”. The video was shot by Kemi Adetiba and featured an unprecedented mix of celebrities and media personalities including Omawumi, MI, Eldee, Matthew Mensah, Eunice Omole, Noble Igwe, Segun Demuren, L’Ami, Kel, Jesse Jagz, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Kaffy, Teju Babyface, 2Shotz and many others. Its great to see everyone coming out to support their colleague, Banky! Shows that despite all the random ‘beefs’; Kelly Hansome vs. Mo Hits; Terry G vs AY.com etc… there is still lots of love and camaraderie in the industry.
Here are some pictures from the shoot.
Banky W’s new album, The W Experience will be out soon!

Oooh boiiiiiiiiiii, Aint No party like a Lagos party!!
Hmm, Bella has anyone opened up any Alcoholics Anonymous NGO in Naija yet? I seriously believe one will be needed soon. Anyway, Banky is looking cute as usual, liked his Strong T’ing video I hope this turns out nice as well. Is it me or is MI gaining weight? He should watch the fat and booze because his type of physique is best with a trim body.
Dammit…Matthew Mensah is one fine, sexy brother. Even though he looks like a real playa. lol
Ok, this Matthew Mensah guy must really be a socialite. He seems to be at every party.
hmmn abeg let them do and release this video, cant wait to feast my eyes!!!!!!!
Okay … all this photos look great , but banky’s stylist should know, that u cant pull that swag with a ready tied bow tie, u need a self tie bow tie to do it, fashion sin.. RE- the first photo……. lol nice photo tho he needs to employ me just kidding
Could someone tell me warra hell Nobel Igwe does for a living? For real please!!!
ohhhhh, can’t wait for this video…loved strong ting!!

My thoughts exactly!!!!!!!!

OOOO, I LOVE BANKY……………………..HE’S HOT HOT HOT
Noble Igwe follows celebrities around for a living
always thot d same he seems to be eveywhere;but cant wait 4 d video to come out I LOVE BANKYYYYY
Can’t wait to see the video. Looks like it’s gonna to be really hot, Banky is too fine, and he seems so down to earth and nice.. his last video was amazing, he should get loads of awards for it. I heard Lola Maja flew over to do the makeup.. I love her work!!
Mens fashion is gay right now (especially in Jand where I guess a lot of these guys shop) and lots of straight men are wearing what fashion dictiates. It takes more than clothes these days to know who is gay, in the closet etc
Segunnnnnnnnnnn. Nicely done. Cant wait to see the video.
ok, every1 seems 2 be screaming my thots(Noble Igwe). plus naij seems 2 b breeding their own crop of paris hilton, kim kardashian, …………….every1 z so fake now.
neways love strong ting(song n video), like Bankole Wellington. tryna sound personal, lol
Yes….the same team as OMAWUMIS today na today video shot this…
Kemi Adetiba, Hauwa Mukan, Bolajee Animashaun and Lola Maja.
Lets see if this measures up to strong ting
Looks like this video is going to be nice. Although the first thing I thought when I saw the pictures was the Elite Model isn’t very Nigerian-shaped
. Still cute tho’
men, i am sooooo glad somebody else said it. that ish is tragic… doing that with a clip on just looks so incredibly stupid… and it’s so damn distracting… I couldnt even concentrate on the rest of the pics- lol!
who is he sef? he looks very familiar but i sure haven’t seen him in any movie.
lmao…stop hating, the fauxhawks looks good on some of them.
this ebuka with his huge head shd go and sleep jare…fake ass celeb.
Lmfao…OMG I can’t stop laughing at 2shorts..wtf was he thinking weraing that tight ass shirt? he looks bloated almost like a toad..lol..forgive me y’all, just had to say that.
dem no get flat or curling iron for naija? wat’s up with that L’ami’s hair?
BANKY UR SOOO HAWTT!!!
Pls oh..me too I wanna know what the Noble Igwe guy does for a living??? He always appears to be “tachting”
no be small thing banky….im watching live in france
nawa 4 naij pple o! he does P.R. nawa 4 una sha! let noble be noble okay so hez a bit cocky let hm be abeg!
lol…i agree!!!
hello my name is (Lagosian) and I am an alcoholic!…
ol dis pics r really nice! cant wait for d video!!!!!!
I hear Noble works for an ad agency and is also an artiste promoter for Banky and MI. That should make him hang around celebrities a lot i guess.
If only some of these comments were made to seem like questions and not hating!
Meanwhile, i agree with the Banky bowtie point. It should be knotted.
Who’s the hottie in black beside Ebuka?
naija female celebs should pls watch their weight. just look at kel. she looks so old already. i love her music. but pls pls pls n pls. i cant look at all ds fat. this is an industry that is obsessed with d way u look. finish
Biko can someone explain to me what is on Kel’s head? This hoody/dress movement is not the P.
I THINKS HE IS CAPABLE THAT WHY HE CALLS HIMSELF MR……, FROM THE FIRST DAY I NO IS BLUIZ WHERE OKAY BEFORE WHEN I SING HIS SONGS LIKE “DO LIKE THIS” “WORK U OUT” “TILL MY DYING DAY” BUT NOW THEY NO THEM AND IF I SING “LONG TIME ” NOW DEY GO SAY IS THAT NOT BANKY AND I ANSWER THEM BY SAYING IS “EME SINGS” I LOVE HIM AND EMPIRE MATE I FEEL AND TO WIZKID..LASTLY JUST DO SOME GOOD VIDEO’S MORE AS YOU DO IN UR FIRST ALBUM COS THIS PROMOTE AN ARTIST BOTH LOCAL AND INTERNATIONL
who’s that chic in pink beside banky?
fashion is changing n she looks good
abi oh naija ppl are hatters, following celebs around is still work now, even though we know he doesnt do that!
You dont have to be straight or gay to know that self tie bows are used for this kinda pics
most ppl in naija are fashion victims… its like the footless tights and leggings pandemic, they wer it with anything!!!! crazzy sturves men .. they need to be schooled
lets get this straight, ppl have better things to worry about that hating on his bow tie! theres a difference… they make tied bowties and self tie ones for a reason!!!!
2nded. the guy seems to be getting too stocky.
too much parting it seems.
partying i meant.
i just hope Banky will not attempt to dance in this video.
Banky is so hotttttttttttttt, chineke!! eeeeiiiii!!. WE thank God for you mama and papa sha.. job well done. Wonder who and what kind of woman he dey marry o. He is toooo much
Lola Maja..lives in Dolphin matey
what’s with Ebuka these days???? Kel should watch her weight, we don’t want a female looking Wande coal o!(*wink wink*). Then BN it’s LAGOON crest not FALCON crest.
i think its very rude to comment about people’s sizes or weight !!! some people have issues with their weight , do not make it worse !!! what if igwe follows people around ? he aint standing on your head ……quit hating please !
wot’s wit u and kel’s weight?abeg leav the girl.if u no like am no mean say na bad thing.if u see fat u go fit talk?
