In
a recent interview with Vanguard, 34 year old entertainer D’Banj succinctly refutes
speculations that he is/was dating Nollywood
screen diva Genevieve Nnaji. The Koko Master said that is not true
and even alleged that he has never had a crush on the sultry actress.
But,
D’banj saying now that he never had a curse on Genny, contradicts a
report by a reputable on-line media platform BN, where the Koko Master reportedly explained that he would love
to marry Nollywood actress Genevieve Nnaji. Click here to read it.
Anyway, here
are excerpts from the new interview D’banj reportedly had with Benjamin of
Vanguard; as prepared by BN. He also spoke about his relationship with the ‘Dorobucci’
of Mavin Record label Don Jazzy. Enjoy!
On
mistakes: “One major
mistake I made was not doing something differently in the past, considering all
that happened between me and my ex-business partner, Don
Jazzy. This is because we never really had issues. I believe,
people that fueled the problem. May be, I should have fought more for what I
brought up.
I
personally found and signed everybody that belonged to the one time popular
record label, “Mo Hits Records” consisting of major artistes such as Wande
Coal, Dr Sid, D’Prince, Kayswitch and co-partnered with Don Jazzy. I
recall one time when he told me that he wanted us to go our separate ways. I
also remember asking him to give me about six months to fashion out modalities
for the separation.
May be, I
should have requested for one year. But like I sang in one of my songs “Top of
the World”, I have no regrets parting ways with him. However, I should have
tried harder, which I did. But in all honesty, I’m grateful to Almighty God.”
On if he
misses Don Jazzy: “Not more than the ordinary. You know,
when you say you are missing somebody, it means you need the person in your
life. No, I don’t miss him. But I saw him at the MTV music awards, in South
Africa. We run into each other every now and then. People are alleging that we
have come together again.
Who told
them that we are quarreling? It’s just that we are running our own different
businesses now. He has his own record label called Mavin
Records, while I have my own label, DBM
Records. Nobody is saying, we cannot do music together, or
perform on the same stage again. In fact, while I am celebrating my 10 years on
stage, it also means that Don Jazzy is celebrating 10 years of his musical
career.”
On if the
split affected their relationship: “Of course, it affected our
relationship for a long time. It’s close to two years since we broke up. But we
have been seeing each other. Probably, we will get into the studio soon to do
songs together.”
On reports
that he is dating Genevieve Nnaji: “There have been so many
rumours about so many things. I don’t like to talk about my personal
relationship again because people always misunderstand me. But rumours must
always be rumours.”
On setting
the record straight: “Honestly,
I’m not dating Genevieve. Let me clear the air now.”
On if he
had a crush on her: “I never
did.”
On settling
down: “Of
course, I am thinking of settling down. Who said, I am not married? My private
life must remain private, especially to the press.”
On if he
is secretly married: “It could be so.”
On the
woman in his life: “I wouldn’t disclose her identity so that
they don’t plan to kidnap her.”
