Singer, Dapo Oyebanji, aka D’banj, finally opened up on his love life in a rare meeting with journalists in Lagos on Wednesday.
The self-styled Kokomaster was clearly
in his elements as he talked at length, amid occasional bouts of
laughter, about his career and other issues that were important to him.
One of the subjects was about his rumoured relationship with Nollywood
actress, Genevieve Nnaji.
Judging by the manner in which the
actress’ name kept popping off his lips, it was obvious that D’banj had a
very soft spot for her.
Aware that the grapevine had bristled
with the rumour that he was romantically involved with Genevieve, ever
since she appeared in the 2010 video of his hit song, ‘Fall in Love’, the singer said the actress had played a role in his success.
“Apart from the fact that she is my
friend, she has been a part of my success. There is no way you are going
to tell my story that Genevieve’s name will not come up because she
featured in my biggest song of all time, Fall in Love. So if E True Story comes to Nigeria to interview me, she will definitely be called upon to tell my story,” he said.
As if to confirm that there was more to
his relationship with the actress than he had always admitted, D’banj
added, “I would love to have Genevieve as my wife. We never can tell
what God plans for us in the future. I have studied her and I realised
that anyone that has her as his woman has found himself a treasure. Just
like the Bible says, any man who finds a wife, finds a good thing.”
