The new issue of music magazine, Soundcity Blast is out now and it has Mr. Capable – Banky W on the cover. Banky W’s new album “The W Experience” is presently burning up the music charts and from this cover, it is clear he is trying to garner even more buzz for the project.
With a photo of Mr. W holding on to a pair of legs and the caption “Banky W wants to get you off”, the intent of this was definitely to provoke a reaction. So what do you think?

what is so provocative about the picture. when i saw the headline, my imagination started running wild.
lmaaooooo @ some pple, oh well I LOVE IT THO, i actually wish those were my legs lol …….. sexy sumtin
…GO BANKY!
Not provocative at all to me in any sense. If that’s what he was going for, then my lovely Mr Capable need try again!
Clap for yourself!!! You are definitely modern!
My opinion? Provocative for sure but why do women continuously remain objects of male musicians?
what is he capable of???? Clearly from the picture,…
Nothing provocative about this…thumbs up for effort tho’, but the least they could have done here was to give the female model a nice manicure!
lol…
Banky doesn’t look happy…
was there sth smelling LMAO
Banky, whatever look you were aiming for…YOU MISSED!!!
just wait, u will soon know u hear….
better female than male
nothing do u Kemchi
aint nuffin provocative in here…mayb wt his head rotated 360 degree…den we fit call police…..@ feminist and sweetie….women wil alwyz remain material tins in d showbiz world…av u bin to any video shoot or behind d stage…..u wont argue wt mi….praaaaaaa
maybe he was just trying to ‘pull our legs…wide apart’!
because they chose to.
Does that girl look like she was coerced or forced?
Women are their own worst enemies.
Some girls will even be willing to do it for free.
absolutely nofin wrong wit d pic. absolutely. i was really xpectin som darty stuff… fwi mr. capable jor
this cover is highly unnecessary
lol @ Muna
Abeg Banky,
You and this hat,
It done do ah.
Im tired of it ( I hope I am not the only one…)
switch up your style,upgrade your swagga,whatever, just commot this useless thing you always dey put for your head.
Hmm. those are some skinny a** legs, maybe a little too skinny.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, i like d babes shoe and to mr capable u rock!
Preach! the beard should go too, abeg. Craig David was a decade ago.
Biko nu, Banky Wellington as i remember started with suit and clean shaven head more like LL cool J style. Now, ‘ama ro zi m ife o cho lu i me’. Biko, some one shld just ask him politely to stick to that look, and forget about the hat thing as he has a large skull that could do without kangol for now. Better still fedora or nothing at all. Banky, please listen. You are even lucky fans love you enough to comment for your music career betterment. Anyway sha, my brother, na u sabi. true.
i got no comment this is all entertainment so guys just cool…….
I no guys who’ll do it if women want to retire ooo.. The studed shoes she’s wearing looks a lil more ** sef.
cn’t really mak any sense out of the picture. I think Banky wil do himself a whole lot of gud by just payin attention to doin gud music and stop courtin controversy and any unnecessary scandal. lol!
what’s so provocative??? he should take a cue from his counterparts abroad. This is amateur…hehehehehe!!! just messing around jo!
You diasporean haterz should go and sit in the tualet… You all need to see shrinks really
which kin yeye unfed chicken leg be dis one sef……hahahaha.muna sef!she swear say she be am sha…..c’mon gerrout!i no go lie ,i love mr w sha.
The cover makes no sense, at least some class would have done it a whole lot of good
They could have at least got a chick with nice hands…..her hands are jacked up forreal..lol.
well,i think Mr Banky forgot one thing:this is africa nd not USA.someone should pls remind him of our values………….i mean the picture doesn’t make any sense and it’s very offensive considering the number of impressionable youths out there loving his song.but since Mr.BaldU is seeking attention in wateva form(controversy inclusive) then,i’ll leave him 2 continue his ill-advised search for fans attention………the picture makes me want 2 puke!
Why una dey vex…is it ur body?? pls people should stop dis preaching bull**** if u’re beta than him stand up. how many ‘role models’ are writing here… pls pls pls, he’s an adult with a right to express himself as he chooses, if people r looking for who to attack face house of assembly or something else… stop d freaking hypocrisy…ah ah!
and what exactly are these african values? is there some law against this? i really don’t get you guys sha
The guy is fyne sha, the babes legs……………..errrrrmm too skinny, aint nutin wrong with the picture jo, sum ppl too pretend!
this picture is just gross! women! why do we stoop so low at times?
LoL @ K a& Nancy, but personally I love Banky W, Mr Capable and clearly he capable of getting her/you off. Guys the guy is an artist abeg, why do you have to go and take this as a moral issue, its a picture and he is expressing himself in the choice that he is an artist and in their business SEX sells..personal i no dey vex o but i am amazed at all you huffing and puffing up in here, careful o, you no dey give yourselves high blood. LOL. but the legs are not so hot, coulda asked me id have borrowed him mine..KIDDING. ( before i get all your wrath).. he is a talented artist and i think he is young and still expressing himself, lets not analyse all this its so unncessary, my own o!!
Pls Pls… who’s dis seun person…’ve u checked the meaning of the word gross lately. this picture doesn’e quite capture that definition. if u dont like it sign out…’gross’ indeed…wat is the stooping low about… women fornicate all d time but just cos its not on a mag cover no one questions that so pls if u want to take up moral issues start ur own blog or something cos there’sll be soooo much for u to take on.
excuse me kay, i am entitled to my opinion and that i just expressed and u have to live with that. it might not go down well with you but its still my right to express myself the way i want and last time i checked, that wasn’t illegal or inconviniencing anyone in any way.
and yeah, that picture is gross, in fact irritating. that is still my opinion!.
it’s disrespectul to say “pls pls who is this seun person”. i dont have to sign out cos the picture by you. i also would not tell u sign out of this page cos your comments are offensive to me. well all have rights to comment on this page and have no right to tell anyone to sign out. the most you can do is to disagree with someone’s comments and that can be done politely.
now to my point of women stooping so low, i am a woman and so i very much know wat i am talking about. i admit that women fornicate all the time but so do men. im have reservations about the picture because the same lady in that picture would later turn one day and accusse a man of sexual harassment. she represents the woman that cheapens herself and later demands for respect from men, she represents the woman who would sexaully harass her male collegaues at work and still demand for equality in the boardroom. that is why women’s fight for respect and equality is yielding little or no returns.
but all these still represent my opinion and im entitled to express them.
and if i want to start a blog, i know just how to go about that. i dont need you telling me that.
i guess you would love your sister or daughter exposing herself to the whole world on the cover of a mag.
i also guess you would gladly take as wife a woman who has shown all that’s on her body to the whole world. good luck to you
@ Oluwaseun…yeah i’m guessing right now u think i’m gonna attack again, but no. this is a well deserved apology to u. I merely reacted cos all too often i’ve seen hypocrites blab with no substance to their arguments…I totally agree wit u and i would have, had u explained wat u just did. Thanks for letting us all see things differently. of course we may argue differently, but it would be stupid of me to deny u the substance of ur argument, u definitely make sense and approached courteously despite ur irritation… so my apologies are offered once again…ciao!
Ditto, I agree.
u welcome. apologies accepted
KAY I AGREE WITH YOU .IF NA 50CENT POSE THE SAME WAY FOR MAGAZINE AND THE WOMAN LEG TO DEY WRAPPED ROUND EM NECK. FELLOW NAIJA`S GO BUY AM. AT LEAST BANKY WEAR CLOTH SEF ABEG MAKE THEM FREE THE GUY TO EXPRESS HIMSELF. HOW HE FEEL .HE IS AN RAND B ARTIST.IF A WOMAN DECIDES TO SHOW HER BODY WHATEVER PART I THINK ITS HER CHOICE AND IF SHE DECIDES TO BE SOMEBODIES WIFE IN FUTURE SHE SHUD BE READY TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES.PERSONALLY AS A WOMAN I DO NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG ON THE MAG COVER .I THINK ITS CREATIVE AND LIKE HIS NAME SAYS HE IS MR CAPABLE SO HE IS THE ONLY ONE CAPABLE TO EXHIBIT THIS CHARACTER
I hope everyone who visitis your blog has a good time here as much as I do.
it is indeed provocative wat a bullshit
