When the Kokomaster, D'banj decided that he was taking his trade
to the international scene, a situation that led to him splitting with
his long time partner, many didn't see the reason for such bold
and "bodacious" move by a musician that was already doing well at home.
D'banj insisted he has a vision to bring Nigerian and African music to the consciousness of the world and he's sure he was going to achieve his dreams, by God's grace. Some mocked, others said "we are watching".
At last, he has done it! See what D'banj has achieved within one year below:
Dbanj's iconic song, Oliver Twist has gathered over 20 million views on Youtube and still counting! No other Nigerian locally originated song has attracted such huge viewship across the world as this song.
According to Wikipedia and youtube sources, Oliver Twist was No 1 in most African countries, No 2 in the U.K. R&B chart, No 9 in U.K. national chart, No 1 in Romania, No 10 in Belgium, etc.
In fact, a United States survey also listed Oliver Twist among Top 5 workout songs in the U.S, according to a popular morning show, Live with Kelly and Michael.
D'banj has proven to be a man of giant strides; his Oliver Twist song has confirmed itself as a classic.
Kudos to koko master!
