D'banj - ' I'm not dating, and NEVER had crush on Genevieve Nnaji!
One of Nigeria’s hottest musical stars, D'banj who turned 34, on Monday, 9th of June 2014, in an exclusive interview with Vanguard's Showtime Celebrity, shares what he feels was the mistake he made while the partnership with Don Jazzy lasted as his former business partner. He also talks about his relationship with top Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji among other issues.
On celebrating 34th birthday anniversary and 10 years on stage: It has not been an easy one. Though, it’s been interesting, full of ups and downs; sobbing and smiling. But importantly, it’s been rewarding. God has been so good to me. What I have achieved in my 34 years of life, as well as my 10 years as a performer, it’s only the Almighty Lord that could have done it for me. I am so honoured and privileged.
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, Prince, K-Switch 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 ran 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 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.”
