Speaking in a video on his social media about life in the US, his marriage not being 50/50 and how he's taking care of the house right now, Banky W said:

BANKY W: I do wear many hats. Over the years, I've been a musician, a filmmaker, an advocate, an activist, an entrepreneur in media and marketing, and a bunch of other things including a 'struggling' politician.

The season that I'm in now, we are currently in the US and you know, I'm a student getting my masters degree in Georgetown University. But more importantly than that, I am a husband and a father. We just had our second child who is an amazing young boy. I feel like my wife did the heavy lifting in the pregnancy, because she actually carried the baby and gave birth to the baby.

So, I feel like it's my responsibility to lift the other parts. To be as supportive as possible. To do the work around the house. To take care of our other son Hazaiah who is an amazing almost 4 year old boy now. And just to play the role of a supportive partner because we both believe that marriage is a partnership. It's not 50 - 50, its 100 - 100. Each person bringing 100% of what they can bring at that particular point in time for the good of the family.

So, while she was carrying the baby, I'll do the chores. And while she was birthing the baby, I would take care of our 3 year old. We just hold each other down in this season of life, and it's been a blessing. We are very very happy. We have two amazing kids now, so we couldn't be happier.

In church, we say that your family is your first ministry. So, more than what you teach or preach or pastor, it's what you're able to do at home I think that counts first before you even get anything else.
