I'd love to have Genevieve as my wife' - D'banj says in new interview

D'banj told me something so sweet in confidence
about Genevieve, but nah, sorry I can't spill... hehe.
It's nice to hear him say he would love to marry her.
I wish he'd just stop saying it and just do it.
He granted an interview to reporters on Wednesday
which was published in Punch today where he
talked about his career and his relationship with
Genevieve. And guys, please stop all this 'it's just a
publicity stunt' It wasn't. They didn't just date, they
were madly in love. Read the interview below.
Singer, Dapo Oyebanji, aka D’banj, finally opened
up on his love life in a rare meeting with journalists
in Lagos on Wednesday.
The self-styled Kokomaster was clearly in his
elements as he talked at length, amid occasional
bouts of laughter, about his career and other
issues that were important to him. One of the
subjects was about his rumoured relationship with
Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji.
Judging by the manner in which the actress’ name
kept popping off his lips, it was obvious that D’banj
had a very soft spot for her.
Aware that the grapevine had bristled with the
rumour that he was romantically involved with
Genevieve, ever since she appeared in the 2010
video of his hit song, ‘ Fall in Love’, the singer said
the actress had played a role in his success.
“Apart from the fact that she is my friend, she has
been a part of my success. There is no way you
are going to tell my story that Genevieve’s name
will not come up because she featured in my
biggest song of all time, Fall in Love. So if E True
Story comes to Nigeria to interview me, she will
definitely be called upon to tell my story,” he said.
As if to confirm that there was more to his
relationship with the actress than he had always
admitted, D’banj added,
“I would love to have Genevieve as my wife. We
never can tell what God plans for us in the future. I
have studied her and I realised that anyone that
has her as his woman has found himself a
treasure. Just like the Bible says, any man who
finds a wife, finds a good thing.”
On remaining relevant, he said:
“So much has happened in the last 18 months and
I am very thankful to God. By the Grace of God, I
have remained relevant for nearly a decade in the
music industry and I have released hit songs
every year. Also, I am glad that I have been
chosen to headline the Hennessy Artistry this
year. This is one brand that understands the
importance of aligning with the entertainment
industry.
“My career is barely 10 years old. But with the
success I have achieved so far, it feels like three
decades already. Within my first 10 years as a
musician, I have recorded the biggest song and
shot the most viewed music video of all time,
‘Oliver Twist ’. I must say I am humbled and
getting ready to take over,” he said.
Without mincing words, D’banj noted that the history
of his career and the resulting accomplishments will
be incomplete without mentioning his humble
beginning with the defunct Mo’Hits Records. The
mere mention of his erstwhile colleagues, including
Don Jazzy, seemed to awaken nostalgic feelings in
him.
“If I say I don’t miss Don Jazzy, I am lying. I have
spent the better part of my career with him. I was
married to him in a way (laughs). So I miss
everything about Mo’Hits : the family, the
movement, and the vibe of being in the studio with
him. I miss the jokes and the arguments, but I
have since keyed into the notion that nothing can
stop a moving train.
“Nevertheless we can always do music together.
The track, ‘Top of the World’ was produced by a
Grammy Award Winner. The songs ‘Finally ’ and
‘Don’t Tell Me Nonsense ’ was produced by my
producer while ‘Oliver Twist ’ was produced by
Don Jazzy. So, why won’t I have him on my 10
years anniversary album?
“I have never said I am a musician; I am an
entertainer. Some people say I can pick up a
microphone and become a comedian. Therefore
nobody should come and ask if I want to go into
acting because they should know I am already an
actor. It depends on when the right script and
concept lands in my hands.
“For now, I am concerned about achieving new
things and breaking new grounds. By the time I
enter Hollywood, I believe that I’ll become as
successful as I have been as a singer. The movie
titled ‘I am Banga Lee’, starring Genevieve, to be
released in 2014, won’t be a bad idea,” He said.
