Looooooooooooooooooooool! I am in stitches laughing from D’Banj’s debut in Kanye West’s latest music video titled “Mercy” which is the lead single off ‘Ye’s upcoming GOOD Music compilation album, Cruel Summer. LoL! Mr. Daniel Banjo, I see you sah! By any means necessary. Lol! Tings dey happen. Carry on.
‘Ye, keep up the good work of giving D’Banj as much visibility as possible. Actually, thank you. I, however, look forward to a meaningful collaboration where you don’t have the African jumping like a _____________? I will let my readers fill in the best caption for that. I think the continent is waiting for y’all to really “kill it” as in show us what you can really do with that African on your team.
You are a music producer, designer, artist etc. but how truly creative can you be? Does your creativity falter when it comes to a fusion of African sounds? You got talent on your roster, African talent. Show us what you got. What exactly can you do ‘Ye?
Chai! “Mercy” me. What a “cruel summer.” E no easy as P-Square sings. To give up beautiful Nigerian music accompanied with his harmonica only to jump around in a music video that is all about “hos” “niggas” et al, all in the name of getting into America’s mainstream market. #OliverTwist meets Cruel Summer indeed.
Folks check out D’Banj from the 5:00min mark onwards.
