Speaking on The Teju Babyface Show, the music star reacted to a viral clip of him cooking sausages, eggs, and bacon, which sparked debate about gender roles in marriage.

He explained that while his wife can cook, it is not something she enjoys, unlike him.

“My wife does not really cook, which she can cook very well, but it’s not her thing,” he said.

‘It works for us’ — singer explains

Banky W said he genuinely enjoys cooking and sees nothing unusual about taking up that role at home.

“I love cooking. I enjoy cooking and I love eating and she loves eating. It works for us,” he said.

He added that some visitors are often surprised to see him in the kitchen, noting that such reactions reflect societal expectations rather than personal realities.

The singer stressed that every relationship is different and should not be shaped by external opinions.

“What works for you will be different from somebody else. Don’t live your life by somebody else’s expectations or rules,” he said.

Mixed reactions trail comments

His remarks have sparked varied reactions online, with some supporting his stance and others questioning the shift from traditional roles.

Some users praised his perspective on partnership and understanding, while others argued that responsibilities in marriage should follow more conventional patterns.

The conversation has since grown into a broader debate about gender roles, expectations, and evolving dynamics in modern relationships.
