safarigirl: we should compare him to old artistes? Like P-square that started a year before him and have waxed stronger? The 'Don't Tell Me Nonsense' has garnered just over 200 thousand views on youtube since it's release, meanwhile 'Personally' that came out same day has over 5 million views, even Wande Coal's 'The Kick' that was released weeks after has over 400 thousand views. D'banj na wash abeg, a review can NEVER translate to anything substantial, wack music is WACK music. Shikena!
Oliver Twist video by D'banj is the most watched music video on youtube in Africa. Personally or whatever from P-Square can't even surpass it. So stop fooling yourself. You got no clue

Lolz is it because P-square was dancing/imitating Micheal Jackson in their personally video you thought about rating p-square high than D'banj??

P-square are hungry for public awareness and they choose to imitate MJ in their videos dancing like 'hungry kidz, grin can you start stating what p-square have achieved so far instead of singing poems for GLO adverts grin I love p-square but you can't compare D'banj achievement to p-square... the gap is there

Artiste singing in the past decades, where are they now?,and you're comparing D'banj with davido, wizkid, wande coal, iyanya etc...

Where is...

Blackface, faze, eedris, rugged man, tony tetuila, eldee(trying), 2shorts, weird MC etc where are they now??

The two artiste managing to be on the lime light are 2face and p-square grin

Hello girl...you forgot Hennesy choose only D'banj for their artistry they can't afford other artistes with Eja nla, he's the big fish mehn!... yeah the song "raise your glass" is hitting waves right now while your p-square are there imitating MJ like kidz grin grin

babakb: why are u peeps hatin on dbanj, like it or not its a win win situation for him, if its a paid review then it means the nigga is very heavy in the game, if its not a paid review then he is making a serious impact in america.

besides dbanj is tired of making hit tracks in naija, so he needs something new. u haters are so quick to forget when u were dancing to tongolo, soco, why me, close to u, i love that booty, falling in love, gbono feli feli, pere, suddenly, move your body, mr endowed, scape goat, oliver twist shit i'm tired of counting.

davido, wizkid, wande coal, flavour, iyanya all these guys can never attain what dbanj is achieving.
talking about psquare, they're copy cats, pls they cant rep africa, everyone is shouting personally, why did they copy micheal jackson in the video, if you need original music contact 2face and dbang.

another misunderstanding, don jazzy did not make dbanj, dbanj made don jazzy, see what marvin records is now?

dbanj has said it all, "i'm not sorry i'm rich, i'm sorry u broke, nigga dont blame me, blame it on the money"
so dont tell me nonsense.

Lol @ the D'banj possie tryna make him seem relevant. Even on the list of most famous Nigerian musicians, a number 11 had to be created to sneak eja nla in. Even psquare and 2 baba beat him with P-square being the number 1 based in Naija, D'banj didn't make the top 10 and someone says niqqa is relevant. Lemme laugh. P-square will top D'banj 98% of the time, at least they got a GLO endorsment gig, who's eja nla endorsing? The Hennessy ish lasts a year and they've never gotten P-square cos them dudes too expensive for em. Forget Oliver Twist and gimme something recent, it's like tryna argue that MC Hammer is the greatest artiste of all time and shouting 'can't touch this' as reference. MJ reigned over 2 decades, that's a great artiste with consistent mega-hits like P-square, not D'banj that closed shop after one mega-hit. O ti to.

Who God has blessed no man can curse...all I see here are rantings of haters who cannot comprehend why drank remains on top.

I love Paquare and I adore 2face. However, ever since dbanj broke up with mo hits... He has been waxing stronger. I can say that he is the most endorsed Nigerian artist as of now...I have facts.

Yes, you guys says he sings wack music, no qualms but I will rather remain wack and be on top of the world.

As for the article either paid or not, it simply implies dbanj is on another league now. I sure even Davido would have paid up have his album reviewed.

Hate from now till next eternity dbanj as done things other artistes can only dream of...

So because pquare got GLO ambassador deal we should run away?
For ur info, dbanj was a glo ambassador long before psquare and he personally terminated the contract.

Where have u been few months back? I guess u are not in naija.
If not, u will be aware of 250million mouth-watering deal dbanj just signed with etisalat.

Your yeye psquare cannot achieve such a feat.

Dbanj is at the top while others follow.

Only on a D'Banj thread would you find the same two or three paid agents repeatedly attacking other posters that express honest, neutral opinions about the geezer's wack recent form. Sore losers. Fighting faceless people on the internet and branding them 'haters' for pointing out the wackness of D'Banj's songs would not improve his dying career.

If you really love the punk, you should advise him to go and beg the likes of Wizkid and Olamide for the 'secret' of making hit after hit on a consistent basis. Oliver Twist is so twisted right now, worse than a broken record.

Some people can hate sha, Nigerian mentality! How can a person like Dbanj be able to pay for a review on New York Times? This is not your local lagos Punch or Tribune which politicians and corrupt people toil with,. Better take a sit and give credit to whom credit is due..Maybe some of your should come here and know what it means to be reviewed on NYT.
We should honestly agree together that Dbanj is not the same again music wise but mind you Kayne West last album was also whack, Jayz dint av more than 2 hit tracks on his album but these guys are building empires.. Dbanj is packaging himself for success you are there reviewing an album that has already been reviewed by the almighty NYT. Branding is what Mega Stars feed on and not music.
