D'banj Features On CNN:'Instead Of Gun,I Carried Microphone 2 Save The World' by ebosie11(f): 7:05pm On Mar 04, 2016
Nigerian pop star D’Banj has disclosed that instead of carrying the gun to save the world, he chose the microphone.

The Emergency crooner who is a decade old in the music industry was profiled on CNN African Voices where he made the disclosure.Speaking with Keturah King of CNN,he said.....

‘I was never in one place. I was always moving around with my dad from one barracks to the next. I loved the military, I wanted to save the world, I wanted to be the first black super-hero. But, then instead of carrying the gun to save the world, I carried the microphone.’


He also pointed out that the death of his brother made him discover his music talent and ascribed his stardom to his love for the harmonica.

Commenting on the music industry in Nigeria, the music crooner had this to say:

’10 years ago we had no music industry, but 10 years today every household has a musician. If you are not a daring person you can’t be here o. If you check Forbes today where you have the Beyonces and the Jay-Zs you have to do beyond your singing and performing. You have to be a brand. You have to be a brand enough to sell products that will make relevance’


The Kokomaster also indicated that he is ambitious of an Oscar and 17 Grammys.
