Musical Film: D’banj Signs Deal With Apple

Nigerian pop star, Dapo Oyebanjo, aka D’Banj, has revealed that he is working on a musical movie with Apple Inc. The movie, he said, will be about his 10 year journey in the music industry.

The artiste who disclosed this during a telephone interview with Olisa Adibua on Beat FM, said: “Most people have the wrong impression that Dr Dre was the one that signed me, but the contract I have says Apple. And to take it further, my management, DKM Media in conjunction with Apple is working on a musical movie. I’m going to act in the movie and play the role of D’banj.” D’Banj, who joined the radio programme via telephone from Los Angeles, also revealed that he is taking acting lessons for his new movie role.

“I’m currently taking acting lessons. Initially, I didn't know I would need acting lessons to play myself in the movie but they want to make it very professional and very well done,” he said.

The award-winning entertainer will also be dropping a music album to mark his tenth year anniversary as an artiste. It has been confirmed that his former producer, Don Jazzy, will be on the album.
