Highlights of D'banj's recent interview

In a recent interview with Lagos State based radio station, Cool FM, D'banj shed a bit of light on recent happenings in his world.

1. On the rumours that he’s now a member of the Illuminati, D’banj would have none of that. And for an alibi, he named Bishop Oyedepo, sorta.
“I don’t know anything about the Illuminati. When I wanted to travel out of Nigeria for the first time, I collected my international passport from Bishop David Oyedepo. That shows that I owe my success to God. If my success is too fast for people or they cannot understand it, please don’t attribute it to Illuminati. I feel very offended when that is being said, because it simply translates to giving God’s glory to another person which He does not share with anyone. God will strike anyone who attributes my success to someone else.”

 2. It’s over means it’s over. D’banj doesn’t really see his former partner and producer as a friend anymore. An emotional D’banj had this to say when the interviewer called Don Jazzy his friend:
“What do you guys call friends? I mean, I had friends for nine years, and you guys saw what happened after the divorce. I lost custody of my children apart from the one I had out of wedlock.”
3. Well, there’s nothing some cool cash can’t do, and yes, for D’banj it has to be a lot of cool cash. So despite the divorce, D’banj says he can still work together with Don Jazzy in the future if the price is right.
“We can always work together, and Don Jazzy still produced some songs on my forthcoming album. Yes, we can work together in future. Maybe a big company can pay a lot of money for us to perform, and yes, it has to be a lot of money for me.”
4. Once again, why can’t people just get it that D’banj is not in a romantic relationship with star actress, Genevieve Nnaji. Grow up people: a kiss is just a kiss.
“I am very single, and Genevieve is my friend. I have been saying this for over a year since we shot the Fall in Love video. Can’t you people just see fine boy and fine girl in a video kissing each other and not think anyhow?”
5. D’banj is king wherever he goes. And people who think that a little change of environment means a demotion to being prince are just confused.
“Did I change the crown? I only carried my crown to the US. People are just confused but the truth is I am still a king wherever I am. Being in a different country and culture I had to study the environment which is what I am still doing. I actually thought I would release my album in America, but my label thought UK would be better because I have a bigger fan base there. I weighed my options, remember everything did not come from me, so I had to do what I did to move on.”
6. And for you less busy social media types, don’t expect D’banj to be distributing recharge cards to you anytime soon. You are not a charity.
“I am too busy for social media, please. If you people want to talk to me go to TV or radio, I don’t go to social media except I have something to say. I never give out recharge cards on Twitter (laughs), even when I was with Globacom, I never did that. If you want to do that, why not help a charity instead?”
