Nine out of every ten people you ask if D’Banj is a legend will most likely say yes, he is a legend. The man has broken records, set new ones and stayed relevant for almost two decades now.
A proper force to be reckoned with, D’Banj’s life and career is nothing short of inspirational and we have compiled five reasons you should draw inspiration from one of the greatest entertainers Nigeria has ever seen. Check them out:
- He’s a proven hustler: Even though he is known primarily for his music, D’banj also has a very vibrant entrepreneurial side which has seen him launch into several ventures and amass a diverse portfolio of businesses. Most notable among D’banj’s business ventures over the years are: Koko Garri, Koko Mobile, Cream platform, DB Records, among many others.
- He constantly bounces back from challenges: From the death of his older brother (which made him pick up the harmonica as an instrument) when he was 14 to the death of his child in 2018, Banga Lee has been no stranger to challenges in his life. What has separated him from his peers is the fact that he has always bounced back from any challenge he has faced. Now, why wouldn’t you be inspired by that.
- He never stops working on his brand: He’s an artiste, a producer, an activist, an entrepreneur, a business man and a music executive. You can put D’Banj into any of those boxes and he will fit perfectly. All through his career, D’banj has not stopped working on his brand endlessly. That is why he has been able to stay relevant for as long as he has and that is more than enough ginger for anybody to pay attention to their brand as well.
- He keeps family close: Since the Mo’Hits days, D’banj has always kept family close – case in point being his younger brother Kayswitch, who was also signed to Mo’Hits and later DB Records after D’Banj fell out with DOn Jazzy. More recently, you can see the Eja Nla himself having a good time with his wife or kid and friends. Maybe that’s the secret to his longevity, who knows?
- He works really hard: When you consider what D’Banj’s life is like, you can imagine how hard he works to keep it all together. The man has tried to sell garri, phones, houses, stocks and god knows what else. He has launched a music label, a streaming and artiste management platform, among many endorsements, performances and tours. Now, that’s how you make enough money to have a habit of wearing two wrist watches.
Hopefully, by now you are motivated and inspired by one of the best to ever do it: Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo aka D’Banj, aka Skibanj, aka Banga Lee, aka Eja Nla. Now go out there and get to work!
