Showbiz friends Genevieve Nnaji and D’banj got us all buzzing and talking, when pictures emerged, courtesy of Genevieve’s publicist, today, showing both superstars partying in London, in celebration of Genny’s 32nd birthday anniversary.
The subject of several romance speculations and reports since last year, both acts have, unlike most celebs would do, taken advantage of the attention on them – leading the media on and planting scoops and images they believe would help enhance the rumours – without giving out enough to implicate either party. Remember the D’banj interview confessing love for Genny? Remember the tongue-in-cheek interview Genevieve gave shortly afterwards? Remember seeing them hand-in-hand at the P Square gig in 2010?
And now, with these pictures taken at Bungalow 8 in London, on Tuesday May 3, we’re forced to have a rethink, if we thought this pair were no longer ‘friends’.
We cannot tell if D’banj was in town for business and only happened to be available for the party or whether he actually flew in to honour the celebrant.
Both acts have not been linked seriously to any other partner since rumours of them dating broke. But those close to them insist whatever happened between them ‘was only a fling’ and that ‘they’re both seeing other partners even though they remain very good friends and look out for each other’.
Genevieve is Nollywood’s leading star, and one of the most dominant celebrities in Nigeria’s entertainment circuit. With international recognition and media attention every now and then, the mother-of-one has been tipped as one of the few homegrown actors that could make it big in Europe and America. Interestingly Dbanj, who’s a prized act at Mohits (where he’s also Vice President) also has his eyes set on the international market. He’s conquered Nigeria already; earning mega bucks in the process. And, as he told BET’s April Woodward recently, he’s now ready and eager to ‘eat out of the big Apple’.
What can we say? They’ll meet themselves there!
