Popular Nigerian entertainer, Dapo Oyebanjo, otherwise known as D’banj, has debunked rumors of his death.
The 32-year-old star took to his Twitter account yesterday to make the announcement. ‘Pls ignore the nonsense rumours. I’m very much alive and well! Thanks be to God! Thank you 4 all ur concern‘ he tweeted.
Rumours had been making the rounds that the ‘Oliver twist‘ singer was shot by three unknown gun men on his way from the Atlanta residence of his G.O.O.D Music boss, Kanye West, after which he was rushed to St Joseph’s Hospital, where he died some minutes later as a result of complications from gunshot wounds.

This is just a ploy to start up problem in our music world in nigeria. I beg all music lovers should clean there hearts on this on going rumour as it is a ploy to start that same saga of 2pac and biggie. Don’t be suprised the same people are orchestrating the whole thing. Wicked people.

Rumours are sometimes real but this is an exceptional
the pop artist may have stepd on toes to have receive
such ovation. it is a clear sign that the end is from
the beginning. he must race up to quit his hidden ways
and embrace a true God who alone can make him enjoy
al that there is left of him on earth. be warned
D Banj
rumour…i agree…but letz just hope another D banj will not erupt as d case of beyonce…sasha fierce….naija illuminati?…nonsense…what is he teaching young starz?
