D'banj had a very poor performance to
the dismay of fans at the Lion Lager
Summer Beer Festival dubbed the "Battle
of Africa". The fans came well grilled in
expectations from the man who's been
dubbed the hottest in Africa but was booed
off stage.
The festival featured Ugandan reggae
musician Bebe Cool and local dance
hall artistes Winky D, Guspy Warrior
and King Shaddy.
D'Banj represented West Africa while
Bebe Cool represented East Africa.
D'Banj was the main attraction and
when it was turn for him to perform,
he exploded onto the stage
amid pomp and zest but soon fizzled
out and slumped into near-
pornography with some fans.
He ran out of steam after exhausting
his familiar songs in less than an hour
and went into what many revelers
described as "hogwash".
His opening song was "Fall in Love",
followed by "Oliver Twist", "Kukere" remix,
"Don't Tell Me Nonsense", "Igwe" and
"Why Me". Then he lost the plot.
Neither his scantily dressed dancers no
his swag was enough to sway the majority
of the crowd that became visibly restless
and disappointed.
So disappointing was his performance that
he resorted to X-rated antics with ladies he
calls "Kokolates" on the stage, in a bid to
kill time.
Among the "Kokolates" was songstress
Ammara Brown, who jumped on stage and
joined in the dirty dancing.
"Let me see all my Kokolates on stage, now
shake your boom boom and do the
catwalk," he said, amid boos from the
crowd, especially men.
Some disgruntled fans hurled insults and
obscenities.
D'Banj failed to impress and was the
opposite of the Nigerian twins P-Square
who performed at the same festival last
year and left fans asking for more.
P-Square were even barred from leaving
the stage by fans who craved for more.
"This guy should not have been the main
act at the show. He has a few hit songs we
know that he has performed. Now look at
how he is whiling up the remaining time
with the ladies," said a fan in the crowd.
