Happy 34th birthday to the Kokomaster, D'banj

One of Africa's biggest entertainers Dapo Oyebanjo is a year older today June 9th. Join me in wishing D'banj a happy birthday. Wishing you many more successful and happy years ahead. As he turns 34 today, continue to read a few D'banj facts...


Here are a few D’banj facts: (not compiled by me)
·      Dbanj is known to have found and signed everybody that belonged to the one time popular record label ‘Mo Hits Records’ consisting of major artists such as Wande Coal, Dr. Sid, Prince, K-Switch etc. 
·      In 2004, he won the KORA Awards “Most Promising Act”, his first major award since the start of his career.
·      In 2007 Dbanj was appointed as the United Nations Youth Ambassador for Peace. He led a strong rally in Portharcourt to promote peace at a time in which there was unrest in Rivers State. After the Rally and meeting with then Governor of Rivers State, the curfew, which had been in place, was removed.
·      In this same year (2007), Dbanj won ‘Africa Artist of the Year’ MTV Europe Music Awards. He also won this same award in 2011 and in-between that won Best Male Artist in 2008 and 2009 at the MTV Africa Awards.
·      In 2008 D'banj became the first Music Ambassador to be signed to GLOBACOM; making GLOBACOM the first Telco to endorse Nigerian Artists.
·      D’banj went on to become the first Nigerian Artists to do an International collaboration that was officially released, giving the Nigerian Entertainment Industry major recognition with international talent and brand (“Mr. Endowed,” featuring Snoop).
·      In 2011, he went on to win the Best International Act BET Awards, a major accomplishment for D’banj.
·      In 2012 Dbanj hit yet another milestone with the hit song “Oliver Twist” recorded and released in Nigeria with over 23 million views on VEVO. Oliver Twist topped the African Charts and was a top 10 hit in the UK singles chart in 2012 reaching #2 on the UK R&B chart.
·      The year 2013 has been a strong year for the Superstar. In May, he was appointed as a Creative ambassador for the Bank of Industry. He performed at the Mandela Charity Event in South Africa, Hit track “Top Of The World” became the theme song for the Africa Cup of Nation, which was eventually won by the Nigerian Super Eagles.  Dbanj also performed at the Africa Cup of National Finale in front of 92,000 people and 6 Billion Viewers World Wide.

Happy Birthday Dbanj. Let haters hate, you are big already. To anon 9:37 you said dbanj was just a spectator at d award, what's wrong abt that. Haven't you been watching awards fool, was don jazzy and dr sid not there, go and watch Grammy, Bet etc. Where hiphop big wig and musician grace the award without been awarded. E.g 50cent, Nas, Ludacris, and others. He was invited and paid, if you ask me that's a big thing. #winks. If dbanj don't release an album or don't drop any hit, must every song be a hit. Arrgh. you are still my main man and entertainer of all times. #Let them say average people talk about others. I love u dbanj and the whole DB records crew @realjidejamal
