R&B singer, Banky W, has congratulated his younger colleagues, Wizkid and Davido, for their victory at the 2017 MOBO Award, adding that it impossible to choose one over the other.

Wizkid, who rose to prominence after the release of his 2010 single, ‘Holla at your Boy’, on Banky’s label, Empire Mates Entertainment (EME), was named best international act at the MOBO.

His arch-rival, Davido, emerged best African act.

Congratulating the two men in messages posted on Instagram, Banky W pleaded for unity in the Nigerian music industry and that fans should stop fanning embers of hate.

While we are at it, Bigups to another young legend @davidoofficial on his wins.. this talented lad came into the game, never stopped working and never stopped winning. And I’m so proud of him as well. What’s better than one Superstar? Two. Wiz and David are both extremely important to the Naija/African music movement and culture, and I personally HATE it when ppl try to make it seem like you have to choose one or the other. There’s enough room in the sky for all of our stars to fly, so instead of us encouraging a childish, petty narrative that never ends well (remember Pac/Biggie?), we shld encourage all of our acts to be all they can be. I don’t wanna choose. Why should I have to? I want Wiz AND David AND Olamide AND Kiss Daniel AND Tiwa AND Yemi and eeeeevery last one of us who have somehow managed to break through, to remain successful and relevant. I pray the same for all our upcoming talents who are about to make it. After all, no one wins when the family feuds. I’m clear why I’m here.. how about you? #jayzvoice
