D’banj, the Nigerian artiste, says he is “a big fan” of Portable, the controversial singer.
D’banj disclosed this in an interview on BeatFM, recently.
He said he likes how the ‘Zazoo Zeh’ hitmaker expresses his thoughts through music.
The Kokomaster added that Portable reminds him of himself in the early days of his career. D’Banj said back then, once he got inspiration at night, he infused it into his music in the morning.
“But fast forward till today. ‘Are you my brotherhood…’. That is what is happening. What I saw is exactly how I am such a big fan of Portable. I think we are positioned in such a great place that if we identify it early enough, we can actually fulfil what we are meant to be. And I see that happening now. You know our own time no social media. So to see the likes of Portable doing some things. And the likes of just the new cats coming up onboard,” he said.
“That is why I tell people I am a new cat.”
D’banj also announced that his upcoming album would be a sequel to his 2008 hit ‘The Entertainer’.
“Collaboration is key. I think the most fulfilment in life is the people that you inspired are now inspiring you. That gives you a sense of being alive. I think for these 20 years, having an album you are going to name ‘Entertainer’. Just like John Wick chapter one, chapter two, we are going to call it ‘The Entertainer: The Sequel’.
Born Oladapo Oyebanjo, D’banj rose to fame after the release of ‘No Long Thing’, his debut album in 2005.
With a string of awards and accolades, he has continued to make a name for himself in the music industry.
