He Can be wherever he wants to be......all this I must to Belong @ all cost sha, D likes of Femi Kuti and Asa didn't have to go to The States to do one Publicity stunt or the other before they were recognized....Femi even said His last Album was his worst Produced Album and Yet, It was Nominated for a Grammy so D'Banj, all this ur American Partnership by force is not the Best way to be recognized all over the world but rather you shld make a good song and it will be Recognized all over the world......... I am not an Hater but I am just saying my Mind...

D'Banj is really repping us wo! Instead of bombers and small boys marrying tranny-grannies that are disgracing us. More grease to your elbow. Go on bro!

I heard Wande Coal was very impressive;He used his voice well(so i think this reporter too as ear for Music). Well i actually expected much from the young crooner anyway; cos it is just a matter of time he will come out best in that group! thumbs-Up Dbanj for exposing those boys! that's how it suppose to be.

My dear Linda, as someone who lives in America,I can catergorically tell u, this is one hell of a BIG deal, and anyone who says or think otherwise is a person with no hope or aspiration.
I say well done to dbanj. X

I give props where it's due, D'Banj is doing the damn thing! I don't care for him personally, he is not the most talented that Nigeria has to represent her BUTTTTTTTTTTTTT ENTERTAINING IS WHAT HE IS and I can certainly stand behind that all the way.

GO GO GO! NEXT TIME GET WALE ON YOUR TOUR.

Yes it is a big deal adn I am happy for him, the Mo'hits crew, Nigerian and African music as a whole.

A good review and hope it takes them places. He should just leave out some of the raunch ...just me. I guess it goes with the territory or maybe I am prude.

Kinda ignorant that NY Times would refer to D'Banj's music as Afrobeats when it's really Afro-Pop.

I see a sleek design by America to cheapen a genuine and wonderful brand created by the ingenious Fela Kuti.
American media need to stop insulting the great Fela!

Y'all are just crazy. Is this not he same dude that said he didn't know what was happening in Nigeria when we were fighting for our rights??

Asa and Femi tour have tours in the US every year sometimes more than once. it is par for the course. Any performer who wants to make an impact in the world particularly the US must keep touring hear.

All this tear down behavior is rather disappointing --- Lincoln
About the grammys, once you get on the list, they are too lazy to update the list particularly when trying to recognized none American based folks. Whilst it is a good barometer for judging success, it is not the only barometer. Learn to love your own
