Singer, Dapo Oyebanji, aka D’banj, in an interview with JAYNE
AUGOYE finally opened up on his love life in a rare meeting with
journalists in Lagos on Wednesday.
The self-styled Kokomaster was clearly in his elements as he talked at
length, amid occasional bouts of laughter, about his career and other
issues that were important to him. One of the subjects was about his
rumoured relationship with Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji.
Judging by the manner in which the actress’ name kept popping off his
lips, it was obvious that D’banj had a very soft spot for her.
Aware that the grapevine had bristled with the rumour that he was
romantically involved with Genevieve, ever since she appeared in the
2010 video of his hit song, ‘Fall in Love’, the singer said the actress had played a role in his success.
“Apart from the fact that she is my friend, she has been a part of my
success. There is no way you are going to tell my story that Genevieve’s
name will not come up because she featured in my biggest song of all
time, Fall in Love. So if E True Story comes to Nigeria to interview me, she will definitely be called upon to tell my story,” he said.
As if to confirm that there was more to his relationship with the
actress than he had always admitted, D’banj added, “I would love to have
Genevieve as my wife. We never can tell what God plans for us in the
future. I have studied her and I realised that anyone that has her as
his woman has found himself a treasure. Just like the Bible says, any
man who finds a wife, finds a good thing.”
Perhaps the fans and admirers of the ‘love birds’ will have to brace
themselves for a symbolic wedding of two of the most celebrated artistes
on this side of the globe in the nearest future.
Meanwhile, D’banj plans to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his music
career anytime in 2014. As expected, the singer aims to roll out the
proverbial drums to celebrate in style what he describes as the
overwhelming success of his foray into the Nigerian music scene.
