Early life

D'banj, also known as the Kokomaster or Bangalee, was born in Zaria, Nigeria's northern area, on June 9, 1980, to a military officer who commanded an artillery regiment and a devout church dignitary businesswoman hailing from Shagamu, Ogun State. Taiwo and Kehinde Oyebanjo are twins of Dbanj.

D'banj was introduced to the harmonica by his late older brother, Femi Oyebanjo, who died in a plane crash at age 17. With D'banj's love for music overtaking his parents' military ambitions, he failed for his parents' permission; this can be seen best on his debut album, All Da Way.

Following his brother's death, D'banj arranged all his possessions on his bed after they were delivered home and then picked up his harmonica. "I'd play it to remember him." He discovered the skill with the instrument at university later. "I'd go to the female hostel after lectures," says the author, "and even if there was no electricity, I'd play there." After Titanic came out, he remembers hearing Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" – "and that got me a lot of girls."

D'banj went on to study mechanical engineering at the Lagos State University, but he had to leave due to the constant strikes and numerous irregularities in the course. When he first arrived in London in 2001, he was denied plans to continue his studies as a mechanical engineer, and Don Jazzy, a singer and producer, was looking for a breakthrough as a songwriter and producer. D'Banj started hanging around the studio, making ends meet as a security guard. "It was fine because I stayed up late at night," he says, "I could listen to music on my headphones."

Don jazzy said he was a celebrity in the making and that the Nigerian music scene was "blossoming," the pair returned to Lagos in 2005. "Tongolo" was released the same year by D'Banj's mother; the film was paid for by D'Banj's mother. It became a national hit and has gained acclaim around the globe. Power Fist, an energy drink, was his first endorsement.

Personal life

In June 2016, D'banj married Lineo Didi Kilgrow. In May 2017, he announced the birth of their son, Daniel Oyebanjo III, but the child died in June 2018.

Seyitan Babatayo accused him of raping her in 2018 and said she wanted to "call" him out on his hypnosy in June 2020, after D'banj had posted on social media to "say no to rape." The allegations came shortly after she went missing for two days, and when she was missing messages on her social media, she said it had been a publicity stunt to promote a new D'banj single. According to The Guardian, she was discovered with support from the NGO Stand to End Rape (STER). She said she had been kidnapped by Nigerian police, who handed her over to the D'banj's operations team, who co-opted her social media and made the retraction posts. D'banj denied the allegations, calling them "false allegations and lies from hell's pit." Babatayo said in a tweet that she and D'banj had reached a "non-monetary" deal, adding, "I just want my peace."

D'banj sued Babatayo for N1.5 billion on July 3, 2020. Franklin Amudo, the former boss of D'banj, revealed that Babatayo had told her that D'banj had assaulted her the day after the alleged rape occurred.

During his appearance at 'Bliss Experience', a church event hosted by Moses Bliss, a musician, the 40-year-old songwriter spoke during his appearance at 'Bliss Experience', a 40-year-old songwriter.

In June 2018, Dbanj and Lineo Didi Kilgrow, his wife's, had mourned the death of Daniel Oyebanjo III, their one-year-old son. The baby was found drowned in the pool in the singer's house in Ikoyi, Lagos, at the time.

Dbanj said God has renewed him by blessing him with not one but two children, not one but two children.

"I was trying to tell you that I'm actually born again." I meant Jesus is the koko when I said it. "I always give credit to whom honor is due," he says of my tale for every one of my albums.

"I always know where I stand." I lost my first son three years ago. But the Lord restored me. You could say to people, but they will not respond because they assume you don't know what they're going through.

"But God will take you on a journey so you can stand." [inaudible] Thank you so much. "You may have been blessed by God."
