Dapo Oyebanjo aka D’banj was a victim of an unfamiliar terrain
recently, where he was one of the acts at the Lion Lager Summer Beer
Festival dubbed the “Battle of Africa” in Zimbabwe.
The festival featured Ugandan reggae musician Bebe Cool, representing East Africa, local dancehall artistes Winky D, Guspy Warrior and King Shaddy, while D’Banj represented West Africa.
Unimpressed by his usual showmanship, music buffs sent him out of the stage, shouting at the top of their voices, as the singer displayed what was perceived as an indecent act with some female dancers he called Kokoletes.
Sources from Zimbabwe say D’banj gave the crowd a lacklustre performance that got them even angrier when he introduced a seeming erotic act. He had opened his performance singing Fall in Love, followed by Oliver Twist, Kukere remix, Don’t Tell Me Nonsense, Igwe and Why Me, after which he was said to lost the plot.
“He ran out of steam after exhausting his familiar songs in less than an hour and went into what many revelers described as hogwash,” said a witness.
“Let me see all my Kokoletes on stage, now shake your boom boom and do the catwalk,” D’banj was quoted to have said before plunging into the act that sent him packing.
It was said that P-Square performed at the same festival last year and left fans asking for more.
Only recently, there were murmurs of D’banj’s performance at the just concluded Felabration where did the same with a girl on stage.
“Nigerian musicians are really losing it on stage especially during Felabration,” said an online report. “The other day we saw Burma Boy almost going nude while performing, Vector, the rapper kissing a girl on stage and now the kokomaster himself showing he is the ultimate entertainer by doing this.”
