Some weeks ago, the self-acclaimed
Kokomaster, D’banj, caused a frenzy in the digital space after news
broke that he secretly got married to his girlfriend, Lineo Didi
Kilgrow.
And since then, the singer has maintained silence on the issue till Saturday Beats caught up with him as he was sensitizing the public on his new initiative, CREAM.
While addressing his marital status, the
singer said his private life was nobody’s concern and pleaded with the
public to keep his family life private.
He said, “My marriage is my business and
it is none of your business. Whether I am married or not, mind your
business. If you ever see a wedding ring on my finger, fine, but if you
don’t, fine. The truth about it is that it is very important to know
what you want as a brand. As a brand, I wanted to focus on the business
side and keep my family and private life, private and concentrate on
CREAM.”
Although the singer seemed adamant about
not revealing his marital status, he made a slip while he was still
being probed which probably indicated that he was no longer in the
single’s market.
The Kokomaster said, “When we have 10
million subscribers on CREAM, then I could do something in the stadium.
In fact during that time, I could wed again.”
The singer further gave an insight into his new initiative, CREAM, which stands for Creative Reality Entertainment Arts Music.
He said, “CREAM covers the whole
entertainment creative industry. The thought came to me when I was
appointed as the ambassador of the Bank of Industry on creativity. I
realised that they were ready to fund our industry but there was no
platform and I decided to take the step of getting a platform.
“I said to myself, if a youth is in
Abuja or Bauchi and he has a creative talent, all the youth need is an
opportunity. If there is a platform for him and his talent can be
harnessed, then we have achieved something. That is what made me create
CREAM. People say if you do not come to Lagos, you will not make it in
the entertainment industry but I said if we have a platform that
everyone can access, you can get the same opportunity that the A-list
artists have,” he said.
The singer further hinted that his album is ready but he is waiting for the right time to release it.
“I have my album ready and in the next
few weeks, I would be releasing two songs; one features Phyno while the
other is with the legendary DJ Oskido from South Africa. We are not
releasing music for YouTube or for the sake of being popular; we are
releasing music to provide money and food for our family,” Dbanj said.
