Checkout Entertainer, D'banj change diaper of his son

Photo of the day has nothing to do with fashion or the affluent lifestyle of your favourite celeb rather we are just in awe as D'banj changes the diaper of his son.

We feel D'banj is probably the happiest father in the world as he is so excited about the duties and roles of a father. Even he looks terrified in the photo, probably from the stench from the little boy, he still looks excited with the chorus.

Most celebrities are not known to show us when they clean up their mini-mes but guess D'banj shared this photo in the spirit if the father's day celebration. This is one photo we would forever admire (ignore what the atmosphere would have felt like at the moment).

A few days ago, we shared photos of D'banj and his son having a father and child moment and we loved every single photo. The music star took to his Instagram page on Wednesday, June 13, 2018, where he shared photos of his adorable son and himself have a little daddy and son time.

He went on to caption one of the photos with a quote, "Daddy duties." These photos are really adorable and we love them. Despite being one of the busiest entertainers, D'banj still finds time to have that bonding time with his son.

Why I Performed With Don Jazzy & Mo’hits Crew At 30 Billion Concert- Dbanj Finally Speaks

Dbanj has revealed why he performed on stage with Don jazzy, Mo’hits crew at Davido’s 30billion concert.

The ‘Kokomaster’ as fondly called refuted rumors that he was paid to perform. The Mo’Hits crew comprising of Don Jazzy, D’Banj, Wande Coal, Dr Sid, K-Switch, Ikechukwu and D’Prince split in 2012 over several internal disagreements.

Dbanj’s Managers Frank told Punch, “Let us not get things twisted, not a dime exchanged hands for any reason. The entire performance was not motivated by money at all.

“It was Davido’s initiative, he wanted it to happen at his show so he went for it and he got what he wanted. He spoke to all of the former Mo’Hits crew members individually, they saw his point and they granted his request.” Davido is a good kid, he spoke to every member of the Mo’Hits crew.

He thought about having a Mo’Hits reunion at his show and he got it.“It was an exciting show and D’banj loved the performance. He wanted the Mo’Hits crew to perform at his show because they were people he looked up to before his career started.“He made a request and they all agreed that it could be done. Before the performance, everybody was backstage having fun and when they were through with the performance, they all went to the green room and the atmosphere was a lovely one.

“I was there with them and if you had the opportunity to have seen them bond, you would not have even believe that they ever broke up. There was no awkwardness at all. It was the same ambiance that surrounded them when they were still Mo’Hits.”

Dbanj speaks on Psquare reported split

While the internet is currently trending with Davido’s scandal, the Psquare’s brothers split cannot be easily swept under the carpet.

In the past week, fans and concerned Nigerians have had to deal with the reality of not seeing their favourite twin brothers, Peter and Paul, perform together anymore.
Reports that made round the internet said, Peter Psquare had signed a termination letter of the contract he had with Psquare, to be legally separated from Paul, after he had threatened to kill him and his family. According to Peter, he no longer felt safe with his brother and so, he demanded to go his way.

Shortly after the termination letter surfaced online, a video also surfaced. In the video, the Psquare brothers were engaged in a verbal attack that almost led to a physical combat at their lawyer’s office, Keyamo. However, Keyamo immediately reacted to the surfaced video with the claims that the scene from the video happened some years back.

The Psquare brother’s split is not well received from a lot of their colleagues as many of them had several things to say about their fight, urging them to make peace and come back as one.

Just recently, D’banj also weighed in his thoughts on the fight and has blamed it on Social media. According to D’banj, the social media is responsible for fuelling the rift with several negative reports, recounting that, the same thing happened when he exited from Don Jazzy’s Mo’ Hits Records.
In a recent chat with newsmen, when he was asked to air his opinion about the on-going crisis, between the brother,s he said, “The media should sit back and let them settle their issues amicably.

They’ remaking it worse by writing all sorts of stories about them. Brothers will always fight and get back as brothers, but the media should not write negative stories in a bid to make money off the headlines. Remember I almost became a victim of the media back then when I left Mo’ Hits, but I thank my stars that I pulled through and I am still here.”

¶ MR. EAZI
Eedris Abdulkareem blasted Mr. Eazi over comments he made concerning Nigerian artist jumping on the Ghanaian wave of music. While granting an interview with Goldmyne TV, Eedris Abdulkareem called Mr. Eazi stupid for his comment that angered many Nigerians.“You must be a stupid man. You are a fool. Number one you sound like Ghanaians. That’s why you are accepted, that’s why you are not original but because its African music that’s why you are accepted. Who are you to say a thing like that? That’s pride” said Eedris Abdulkareem.

¶ D'BANJ
D’banj is one those who haven’t been spared by Eedris Abdulkareem in his unpopular rage. In an interview with Goldmyne TV, the veteran Nigerian rapper lashed out at D’banj for his 2012 separation from Don Jazzy.“The biggest mistake someone like D’banjmade was to be so stupid and leave Don Jazzy. You know why? Dbanj no gets talent. Na razzmatazz he gets,” he said.

During an interview, Eedris said. “Davido and other artistes are riding on international platforms and making Africa proud. But my advice to him and others artistes is that don’t go to America and come back to show us cocaine in your videos which makes no sense.”

Shockingly, 2baba was blasted by Eedris Abdulkareem whom fans thought had a cordial relationship.The ‘Jaga Jaga’ artist faulted 2Baba for chasing all the good people around him away, attempting to carry out a national protest without carrying along the veterans like him, suggesting that as a writer of love songs he doesn’t necessarily sing socially conscious musicthat qualifies him to lead such protest.“You go dey start protest, think say you fit do am alone, you don forget say what you do basically is love songs, dey impregnatepeople dey go,” the rapper said.
