Dbanj Marks 20 Years On Stage With Since ‘ 04, Apologises For Past Wrongs

RENOWNED entertainer, Dapo Oyebanji, professionally known as D’banj, has released a new song dubbed, Since ‘ 04. The song, which is out May 3, is set to tribute his 20- year- long career as a musician.

In a social media post, the 43- yearold singer, who also recently headlined the Trace Live event to mark his double decade feat, paid homage to his former record label, Mo’hits, saluting his longtime pal and collaborator Don Jazzy, as well as other pioneering members of the crew like Kay Switch, Dr Sid, Wande Coal and D Prince.

“When I look back at my journey as your favourite entertainer, many names pop up in my mind for their various contributions to D’banj. Today, I celebrate Mo’ Hits — the group and our team. What a solid team we had. Don Jazzy, Wande Coal, Dr. Sid, D’prince, and Kay Switch. My brothers were the best! Together we elevated this game and showed them things that could happen.

“We’ve spent many years focusing on the blame game, but I’m not playing that game anymore. If you feel I wronged you at any time, forgive me. The philosopher in me is grateful for everything that went right and those that went wrong. Without those things, we won’t all be the kings we are today killing it in our different endeavours. To all who have worked behind the scenes from Baba Are, Chuchu Lee, General Jay, Kamal, Bankuli, Ayo Sonaiya, Mozenge lee, Cheekychizzy, Bizzle, Special Ed, Killz, Vanessa Amadi, Davin Phillips, Tonya Merit and so many more, Banga is grateful. God bless us all.”

The award- winning musician had recently released a song dubbed, Taya, alongside Zlatan, Timaya, Kayswitch, and two other emerging acts Bhadboi OML and Specikinging, signalling his anticipated return to the front- gaze of the Nigerian music scene.
