Nigerian singer, Dapo Oyebanjo, popularly known as D’banj, has disclosed that he sometimes misses being single.
The ‘Kokomaster’ stated this after being unveiled as a judge on popular singing reality show, Nigerian Idol.
According to D’Banj, he decided to get married when he did because he had gotten to a point where he needed stability in his life and his bestfriend as a partner.
He however noted that although he is happy being married, he sometimes misses being a bachelor.
The 41-year-old singer said;
“It is very important for me when I say that I am so happy I got married for the right reason. There are reasons people do certain things and if one does it for the wrong reason, it would affect one. I got to a stage in my life when I needed to grow an empire and in order for one to do that, one has to be stable and have a best friend as a partner. One also has to be true to oneself.
I pray to God a lot and the Bible says, ‘He who finds a wife, finds a good thing’. I got married to my best friend, who knows and understands everything about me. Because of that, we could grow together. Yes, once in a while, one misses those days (of being a bachelor). But, I am happy because that is the difference between Dapo Oyebanjo and Dbanj, the Koko Master. Whenever I get on stage anywhere, I become the Koko Master. It (marriage) has not reduced the amount of kokolets (ladies) that flock around me and rush to the stage. However, one has to be committed to one person and that is what life is.”
D’Banj, who has never been a judge on a music reality show, also explained why he accepted to be a judge on Nigerian Idol.
“This is the first time I would be a judge (on a music reality show). I have done several things through the years but this is the first time I would be doing something like this.
“I accepted the offer because first, I am a Nigerian. Secondly, I think there is no better time than now because of the growth of the industry. The growth of the industry is such that it is important for us to embrace what God has given us. This is a journey we have been on for over a decade and we have been accepted globally. That is why it is important to ‘grow’ what is on the ground,” he said.
