Afro Pop sensation Oladapo Oyebanjo, popularly called DBanj,has refuted the news
making the rounds that he got married last weekend in Lagos to Didi Kilgrow.
He said it was the mere figments of the peddlers’
imaginations. The Kokomaster, speaking through his manager, Frank, in a
telephone chat on Monday, said there was no marriage at all let alone a secret wedding.
Here's the official statement:
“D’Banj didn’t do any secret wedding. He had a private event meant to
only a few family and friends and how that turned to a marriage ceremony
is what I don’t know. Some people obviously didn’t understand simple
English and we would not dignify them with the response to such false
tale,” D’Banj’s manager said.
The purported secret marriage had D’Banj’s father, Col. Oyebanjo Rtd.and 25 other guests in attendance.
D Banj also chipped this in when contacted by reporters: “… I would tell
you the truth, I am not married but if I am, nobody would hear about
it. It is going to be a very quiet wedding because I am tired of people
asking me that question. It is my personal life and it is not going to
change my music or brand. I am not going to get married just because
people want me to, neither would I do it just to enter another phase of
my life just like some of my colleagues have done. “They make it seem as
if once you are married you have retired. But that should not be the
case. Marriage would not change anything about me and whenever it
happens, nobody would hear about it, there would only be speculations.
My wife would not be seeking for fame because the one I have is already
enough for all my family members. When I get married, it would be a very
quiet one. Who knows, it might have already happened."
Last weekend, StellaDimokoKorkus blog broke the news that Dbanj got married at a private ceremony. The lady, a 25-year-old undergraduate of the University of Abuja, was said to be the sister of the co- host of MTV Base Africa’s The Bigger Friday Show’ Samantha
Walsh.
