What does Nigerian international pop giant D'Banj want for his birthday?

Well, find out on June 23, as the superstar entertainer shuts Lagos down with another five-star concert, featuring live appearances from some of the finest stars from the continent and beyond.

The MOBO and BET-winning hit-maker says he's throwing a big, spectacular gig, at Eko Hotel in Lagos, to launch the debut DKM album, and celebrate his recent achievements with friends and fans in Nigeria.

The hugely anticipated concert will coincide with D’Banj’s 33^rdbirthday, and he told us over the weekend, that fans can expect to catch electrifying performances from him and his friends, including Fally Ipupa (DRC), 2face Idibia (Nigeria), 2Chainz (USA), Olamide (Nigeria) and other big names from here and abroad.

The big-budget concert will also feature DB Records acts KaySwitch, JSol, JSleek and others.

'It'll be my first time in Nigeria and I can't wait', 2Chainz says in a video drop released by D'Banj. 'My birthday is in September but I’ll act like it's my birthday', he adds jokingly. The rapper is mostly known worldwide for his mega hit 'Birthday Song'

The June 23rd concert, D'Banj says, will be the first in a series of DKM Concerts to be staged in collaboration with Ndani TV in Lagos and other parts.

‘We’ve done it all over the world, with the support of our fans everywhere’, the bestselling entertainer who performed with Snoop Lion at the MTV All Stars Concert in Durban over the weekend, says. ‘I know Nigerians have been yearning, and I can’t wait for June 23 to bring Lagos alive and treat my friends to all the new stuff we’ve been working on’.

IS TINIE TEMPAH IN FOR KOKO CONCERT ON DECEMBER 27, 2012?

This year's Koko Concert would be the first after the demise of  that hugely successful team that used to be known in the industry as Mo'Hits Records. It has been several months since the break up that brought about Maven Records on one side; Made up of the likes of Don Jazzy, Dr Sid, D'Prince, Wande Coal and their first lady-Tiwa Savage and on the other side, Nigeria's most exposed musician till date in the person of Mr entertainer himself, Dbanj, his brother K-switch d'Product and J.Sol, that's the new D Banj Record's signee. 

Everyone in Nigeria and even outside already knows that the Koko Concert is set for December 27, 2012 at the Eko Atlantic Beach venue. It is also nothing new that British born top actor, Idris Elba is going to host this year's edition of the concert. While several foreign artistes are being touted to perform, 2 of those already confirmed are, Big Sean & Pusha T. One name that most have not heard about in the equation, but that we at MM hear might be performing is none other than top international music act, who though is British born, is of Nigerian extraction and that is Patrick Chukwuemeka Okogwu jr. aka Tinie Tempah. According to our snooping bird in know, Tinie might have agreed to come to Lagos to perform at the Koko Concert, thereby helping to add more spice to the already sweet soup that's been cooked for December 27, 2012. We hear that, the DBR crew might still be trying to dot their i's and cross their t's. So if the deal scales through, then expect T.I.N.I.E TEMPAH.

It would be a fitting end to the year for D Banj and his crew, if this is another very successful Concert. His London HMV Apollo concert tagged the D Banj and friends was an unbelievable success, the venue was so packed out it was unbelievable, with many of his loyal fans flying in from the US, Nigeria and nearby countries. It has also being an award laden year, for the great Oliver Twist, aka the Black Mamba, with over 12 plus international recognition from far and near, and newer nominations just announced. His new single titled- Top of the world, has also being chosen as the official song for the 2013 African Cup of Nations. So it has been a mixed bag of the good, the bad and the ugly for him, but it all seems to be ending very well after-all.

D BANJ LOCKS DOWN LONDON

Let's not lie ooooo, we were one of those that was skeptical about this concert. One of the major reasons for that skepticism was that on the same day as the D banj and Friends HMV Apollo lock down was the Africa Unplugged concert, which boasted of some very big names in the music industry-such as Femi Anikulapo Kuti, Tuface Idibia, Iyanya and other heavyweights from other parts of Africa. It was the evening of the Annual Notting Hill Carnival and a day after the P Square London Invasion. So we had thought, the organizers didn't plan well, doing 2 massive concerts on the same date. But alas we were wrong. D banj is D banj any-day. 

A pointer to the fact that D bANJ was going to shock everyone, was the feelers we were getting from some of the people we spoke to prior to the show, who told us categorically that D banj has his own crowd of loyalists who no matter what would throng his show. And true to their words, the venue- HMV Apollo, on Bank Holiday, Monday, August 27, 2012 was filled to capacity. The concert was sold out, packed out and according to many who were there ''it was good money well spent'' '' a totally fantastic time'' etc. He was very well supported by Ikechukwu, Naeto C, K Switch and others. 

Not to lie, D Banj is an entertainer extraordinaire.

According to BHM-

D'Banj's debut UK headline show was excitedly received by a rapturous audience.

Thrilling the audience with a rich repertoire of songs  spanning  his over seven year career, 

D’banj once again woos his audience with sweet ease, showing why, in such a short time, he has become one of Africa’s greatest music ambassadors.
