In a chat with Saturday Beats, the Koko Master
revealed why he is unmarried.
D'Banj said:
“While growing up, there were some goals I
set for myself and at 35; I have
accomplished most of them. Sadly, I have
not accomplished the primary goals. The
main one is marriage.
By now, I thought I would have been married.
I had always thought I would have a child
before the age of 30. That fantasy did not
become a reality because I wanted to
strengthen my brand. I wanted to be sure that
I was on the right path career-wise because
as a kid, you need to crawl before you can
walk and eventually run. I wanted to be sure
I surpass all boundaries and reach a certain
stage where I can easily balance my work
and family. That is the main reason why I am
not married.”
He however said that he is proud of his other
achievements as they have surpassed his widest
imaginations.
“Apart from marriage, one other thing I
desire to have is the Grammy but that is
already in the pipeline and it would be
acquired soon. I didn’t know I would meet
Kanye West while I was dreaming big as a
child. But I dreamt that I would go places and
people would hear my song all over the
world. I also dreamt that Caucasians would
dance to my music. I dreamt I would top
music charts across the world and all that
has happened. I have dreamt of performing in
front of thousands of people on a global stage
and I have achieved that. For all these I am
grateful to God,” he said.
