Photos: EME doesn't charge artists to give out record deals- Banky W warns

Nigerian music star, Olubankole Wellington aka Banky W, has cried out that people are impersonating him to defraud innocent Nigerians. Reacting through his Twitter handle, @BankyW, he said it is unfortunate people still fall victims of the impostors despite alerting people to the devices of the scammers:
“We are doing the best we can but there are now so many cases that we can’t keep up with everyone. So pls be smart. I have tweeted, done press releases, had some ppl arrested… but the problem never goes away. We just caught one that said a girl should pay N50k for a form and sleep with 1 guy and she wld get a N15 million samsung deal. RUBBISH.” 
The Chief Executive Officer of Empire Mates Entertainment (E.M.E.) record label advised his fans not to be fooled;
“He that has ears, let him hear. Don’t be fooled by these fraudsters. Don’t pay money to anyone promising u a deal with EME or anyone else. Pls note that for any EME Business, if it doesn’t come from bookings@empirematesentertainment.com it is fake.”
Banky cautioned that if a label wants to sign a new act, the label will pay to take care of the artist, so upcoming artists should BE WISE. Banky W was one of the frontline artists who mobilized Nigerian youths to participate in the Occupy Nigeria protests in January 2012. He has four albums to his credit and one extended play, ‘Undeniable’ released in 2003.

May God reward all these 419 boys that keep impersonating me and my staff, stealing money from upcoming artists.

Ive said this many times. EME does not charge artists to give out record deals. Anyone that tells u to pay money to get a deal is lying

Infact if a label likes your talent, the LABEL WILL PAY TO TAKE CARE OF YOU. Not the other way around.

Here's a ground rule.. anyone that says u shld pay some money to get any deal (modelling, music, etc) is a fake. Don't do it.
