However, speaking in the opposite direction of these reports, Nikki Banks revealed that, she’s never the replacement nor the successor of the late Ghanaian musician.
She urged the traditional media to desist from such reportage and accept her as who she is, so that she can produce and release good songs for the love of the culture.
She currently has her first single out titled, “Roman Sister”, produced by one of the finest Beat makers MOG.
The tune comprises of distinctive musical communication elements, incorporating instrumentals and vocal tones in a structured and continuous manner.
In the song, Nikki Banks was responding to critics who were describing her to be naughty and a bad girl.
