Nigerian pop star Oladapo Oyebanji, often known as D’banj, has announced that he would release a new track named ‘Since 04’ to commemorate the beginning of his career 20 years ago.
D’banj reflected back on his remarkable career, which has spanned two decades and countless significant milestones, in a piece published on April 24, 2024.
The multi-award-winning celebrity recently celebrated his 20 years on stage by headlining Trace Live. As it coincides with the anniversary of his debut in 2004, he refers to his upcoming single, which is scheduled for release on May 3, 2024, as one of his best songs to date.
The Mo’hit crew, which includes Don Jazzy, Wande Coal, D Prince, Dr. Sid, and Kayswitch—whom he refers to as his brothers and with whom he established an incredible team—were honoured by D’banj, also known as Koko Master.
Along with expressing gratitude to everyone who helped him along the way, the Afrobeats legend also offered his sincere regrets to anyone he may have offended along the way.
“Next week Friday, I’m dropping a track that is dear to my heart. One of my favs yet. Been at it since ‘04 and I feel like I’m just starting
“When I look back at my journey as your favourite entertainer, many names pop up in my mind for their various contributions to D’banj. Today, I celebrate Mo’ Hits.. the group and our team. What a SOLID team we had. Don Jazzy, Wande Coal, Dr. Sid, D’Prince, and Kay Switch. My brothers were the best! Together we elevated this game and showed them things that could happen.
“We’ve spent many years focusing on the blame game but I’m not playing that game anymore.
“If you feel I wronged you at any time, forgive me. The philosopher in me is grateful for everything that went right and those that went wrong. Without those things, we won’t all be the Kings we are today killing it in our different endeavours . To all who have worked behind the scenes from Baba Are, Chuchu Lee, General Jay, Kamal, Bankuli, Ayo Sonaiya, Mozenge lee, Cheekychizzy, Bizzle, Special Ed, Killz, Vanessa Amadi, Davin Phillips, Tonya Merit and so many more, Banga is grateful. God bless us all.
“I love you all my Babylets, Kokolets, Mamalets and Kokomasters. Anticipate “Since ‘04” coming on 03/05. #20yoD,” he wrote.
