You were spotted secretly and publicly at different places with Genevieve Nnaji and we heard you both are in some kind of relationship. Is this true?
D’Banj “Yes, yes, yes. We have been trying to keep this quiet but yes, I am dating Genevieve Nnaji.


Okay. We heard you recently featured her in your music video, ‘Fall in Love.’ Is this a publicity stunt or is it a real relationship?
D'Banj "This is all so funny because beyond the personal feelings I have for Genevieve, on the business side, she is the only one who represented what we were looking for to shoot the video. She represents Africa. She represents the African Queen. She is the biggest and was even profiled on the Oprah Winfrey Show. So it was a mixed feeling for me. She was the perfect person to use for the song ‘Fall in Love’. She even was my perception of someone you would want to fall in love with and have in your life. I believe the average African man wherever you are, if you want to think of whom you would want to fall in love with, if you close your eyes and take a deep breath, it’s Genevieve that will come to mind. So business-wise, she represented everything we were looking for to make the video."


You must have been looking at her whilst you were singing. Were you really telling her your feelings?
D'Banj "I am in love with Genevieve. It’s been long I felt this way about anyone. I don’t know what other words to use to qualify my feelings. But when you see the video, you will know that it’s not just a video, it was me talking to my girl for real.


So is this a marriage-headed relationship?
D'Banj "Like I just told you, Genevieve is my girlfriend. In fact, I don’t like using that word girlfriend. She’s my baby, she’s my every thing and I love her. We are both very mature and also very private. We would like to take it one step at a time right now and would appreciate if people will respect our need for privacy at this time.


When the news of this relationship hits the streets, we are sure you both know what will happen next. Are you ready for this?
D'Banj "Well, what can I say? Like I said, Genevieve is the biggest African star that I know and I am in the public eye, so it is to be expected. But I personally do not care about any news that wants to come out. I am proud of whom I am with. When I met Genevieve I knew what I wanted and I went after it and I am still with what I want and she’s the one I want. Right now the only woman in my life is Genevieve and she knows that. We want to be together and we don’t want to hide it any longer. I want to be able to take her out, walk into anywhere with her and not have to hide. I’ve found my kokolet, my woman. Please pray for us."

i dey waiti waiti and looku looku. Time will tell. Wish both the best if its really true.

Waiting for u know who to show up,

Is this 4 real if it is, then i'm so disappointed in Gene. I tot she was a high-profile serious minded babe , d'banj of all the eligible bachelors, me thinks she's ready to have another child out of wedlock.
Btw d'banj's interview sounds like he made a bet with d boys to see if he can get into her pants, looks like he succeeded, lol. Lookin' 4ward to a messey and controversial breakup

well the mohit family was at 02 arena last year and i met dbanj at the after party   i swear he was killing me with sexiness, whoever he toasts will not turn him down not even her royal sexiness genevieve, wande was also a heartbreaker one girl started crying. dont underestimate this boys, they are not low scums cos they speak pidgin and smoke weed but seriously dbanj is kl. who attended lord of the ribs? banky W stole my heart, the main basket mouth dint even move me lol

Na wa o. . . see as Dbanj dey trip for Genny, lol
Anyway, I thought Genny was on the level of dating billionaire politicians like Atiku and not small boys like Dbanj, abi nah? Me no dey believe dis story until riversman confirms it from his a^nt o
Btw, where is naliakar? I thought she'll be the 1st to post a reply on this thread

lwkmd!

the article reeks of BS

sth tells me those two r involved for 'commercial' reasons

It can do Genny's musical career some favour. abi??

I AM REALLY HOPING THIS IS A JOKE!!!!! Genevieve? I am totally disappointed, dont get me wrong, they look SUPERB together but it aint all 'bout tht, i mean I thought shes a straight minded individual like omotola (married to a pilot). Why did she stoop so low to date a man-LovePeddler!!!!, gosh i'm so disappointed (like shes ma relative or something lol). If he's what she wants then whtelse can one do, wish 'em both the best (#notkool) 

Publicity stunt
