Renowned Nigerian singer and actor, Bankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W, has relocated to the United States with his family.

Banky W shared the news on his Instagram, alongside a photo with his wife, Adesua Etomi-Wellington, and their child at the airport. He expressed his excitement for this new chapter, emphasizing the significance of family and purpose during this journey.

Banky W, a prominent figure in Nigeria’s entertainment industry, is also recognized for his involvement in politics and social causes. His decision to further his education reflects a commitment to expanding his influence beyond music and entertainment. His wife, Adesua, supported the move, commenting, “Home is wherever you are.”

Cardi B Reacts to Cheating Allegations from Offset
In a dramatic turn of events, Cardi B has responded to explosive allegations made by her husband, Offset, accusing her of cheating while pregnant with their third child.

During a heated Instagram Live session on September 25, 2024, Offset posted a comment claiming that Cardi was unfaithful, saying she “f**ked with a baby inside.”

This accusation quickly ignited public debate, but Cardi’s reaction was equally startling. She took to X (formerly Twitter) and seemingly confirmed the allegation by writing, “AND DID,” accompanied by six exclamation points.

This cryptic response left fans uncertain about the veracity of the claims. Cardi B has a history of being provocative on social media, leading some to question whether her statement was serious or sarcastic.

Despite their turbulent relationship, which has been marked by previous cheating allegations, Cardi’s recent divorce filing in July suggests this rift may be more severe. As the couple continues to publicly air their grievances, it’s clear that the situation remains volatile, with potential legal and financial battles looming over assets and custody of their children.
