Fans Annoyed At Dbanj's Koko Concert by AK481(m): 7:59pm On Dec 28, 2012 |
D'BanJ's Koko Concert Goes Bad!!!! Dbanj disappointed his fans at the concert. Micro-blogging site, Twitter, was agog with criticism of the end of the year concert by popular Afropop musician, Dbanj, tagged Koko Concert held at the Eko Atlantic Beach, Lagos . Many of Dbanj’s frustrated fans who took to twitter to vent their anger described the concert as lacklustre and ill-managed. In the past weeks, the concert has enjoyed a lot of hype in the media and was one of the most expensive musical concerts in the country. Some fans paid as much as N1 million to attend the concertwhich also has Hollywood actor Idris Elba; America rappers, Pusha T and Big Sean; as well as Nigerian-born British rapper Tinnie Tempah; on parade. Fans were particularly disappointed by Dbanj’s performance. Many of them who went to the concert hoping to hear him perform some of his popular tunes were heartbroken as the musician chose to perform his most recent tunes that many have problems relating to. “Dbanj does not have any song to sing.. Terrible. Let tomorrow come first,” said a fan tweeting from the handle @RicDizZle. “Sing Suddenly or Mogbonofelifeli if you know say e sure for you!” @RicDizZle continued referring to some the musician’s popular tunes. Dbanj, who is used to a mimed performance, had problems adjusting to performing to a live band, some attendees said. “I think Dbanj is the worst performer of the night #kokoconcert. Easier to perform with a CD. Live performance no be beans [not easy],” said a fan tweeting from the handle @ebraheemshehu “I have a lot of respect for #Nigerian artistes who perform with a live band but i don’t think #Dbanj killed it today. #kokoconcert,” said Fidelis Mbah, a reporter with the BBC. “That’s not a live band, just a bunch of confused electricians,” said another fan tweeting from the handle @TheBlackHermit. Insulted fans His woeful performance aside, many of fans, who stayed awake allnight to see him perform at the concert and those watching the live stream of the event on NdaniTV, said Dbanj’s worst blunder of the night was when he said: “The people wey pay me money na dis sidedem dey” (those that paid me are on this side) while apologising to those at the VVIP section of the concert for below-par arrangement made for them. At a point he even asked those at the popular and VIP sections to apologise to those at the VVIP for the inconvenience they suffered. Fans at the popular section and VIP paid 5,000 and 20,000 respectively. Many of his fans who felt insulted reacted sharply: “Disgusting that he only keeps apologising to VVIP. The 5K ticket holders are the real fans and the ones promoting his music . Shame,” said a fan tweeting from @Rebl_jade. “Dbanj needs to stop acting the fool with this VVIP thing. So rude!”said @EniolaHundeyin “And he had the nerve to ask the 5k & 20k people to aplogise to the VVIPs. I say it, the concert was an allegory for Nigeria as a whole,” said Tola Sarumi tweeting from @AfroVII. “Only in naija (Nigeria) you pay for something and STILL get insulted. Customer appreciation? Absolute zero,” said a fan tweeting from @kennagq A complete mess From tiresome trek along the sandy beach, inadequate parking space, to Dbanj’s fake American accent, the general perception was that the overpriced concert was a failure. “The worst day of my life! Dec 29th, Koko concert. Despite d negativity, I managed to hold my head up nd stay positive! Home now..#NeverAgain” said eccentric Channel-O presenter, Derenle Edun. “Call me a hater but Dbanj is too big of an artist to be putting out mediocre shows like that!! #kokoconcert,” said @natashamutale “This guy better not be planning to drop any album soon. People will refuse to even bootleg it,” said Tome Buluku tweeting from the handle @IamTome. “There’s def no koko concert next year sha. Not with this crap,” said Yemi O tweeting with the handle @mimio193 “D’Banj speaks like Igbo man from Iweka Road now,” said Onyeka Nwelue. “@iamdbanj sold more VIP & VVIP tickets than d no of seats available..we had to hustle for seats..pathetic,” said Tokunbo Otitoju tweeting from the handle@fimiletoks “In Koko Concert, Money can’t buy class. LOL. 1M for table no meanyou no go do endurance trek to and fro,” said @Shimoshi1. http://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=488794394492064&id=250469034991269&set=a.298305133540992.69499.2504, 1 Like |

He was probably scared to perform songs Don Jazzy co-produced with him. Could this really be the begining of the end for our dear Koko master? Lesson: Do not bite the hands that fed you lest you go hungry later in the day! |

I think there's a law now restricting him from performing songs that were co produced by Don Jazzy. Imagine a D'Banj concert without his monster hit singles?? I feel for him sha..for them both sef. But since they are both making their money..i feel for myself for making it my business! 1 Like |
