Singer and CEO of Empire Mate Entertainment (EME) Banky W is on the cover of the hot new issue 8 of highly reverred youth oriented publication Y! magazine, the “Power to the People” edition.

In the cover interview, Banky W speaks exclusively and candidly about his battle with cancer, his activism, and entrepreneurship in Nigeria. “When I was about to be operated on by a doctor, he cancelled while I was right there on the operating table, because he was nervous about how far it had spread and if he was expert enough to deal with it.”

“I think that’s when it set in on how serious it was, because we then had to go from one referral to another trying to find the specialist who could operate on this particular strain of cancerous tumours. It was arguably the scariest time of my life,” the EME boss said.
