Below is a throwback video of singer D'banj being announced by Kanye West as the newest artist on his label, GOOD Music.
The announcement was made at D'banj's sold-out Koko Koncert in London.
At the time, D'banj was at his peak and had Kanye in Oliver Twist's music video, while he featured in Kanye's Mercy video. He also featured Kanye on Scapegoat Remix in 2013.
American rappers Big Sean and 2Chainz were guest performers at the Koko Koncert.
Meanwhile, popular Nigerian rapper, Okafor Victor, professionally known as Mr Real, has made a u-turn over his remarks about D’banj’s CREAM platform.
Reports have it that D’banj, during an interview on The Micon Podcast in November 2025, claimed that his Creative Reality Entertainment Art & Music platform, known as CREAM, is worth $3 billion.
Reacting in a video on social media, Mr Real, who stated that D’banj was just trying to package the CREAM platform, accused him of failing to pay him an agreed N20 million ambassadorial deal with CREAM.
However, Mr Real, in a recent video shared on his Instagram page on Monday, made a U-turn and tendered a public apology to D’banj.
He said, “Hello everyone, this video is an apology video to my boss D’banj. I know most of you must have seen what is happening between me, D’banj, and the CREAM platform. I misunderstood and misinterpreted some things concerning CREAM, and I want to use this opportunity to say I’m very very sorry.
“To D’banj, you play a very big role in my career. I regret the tone and public manner of my recent comments. I hold Dbanj in the highest regard, and I apologise for how the situation was handled. I have withdrawn my comments, and I will not make further public statements on this matter while cooperating to resolve this matter amicably.”
