Another exciting news however is that D’Banj will be appearing in the Broadway musical version of Fela. From the available information, the show will be touring the world soon and D’Banj will play the lead during this tour.

….RELEASES NEW VIDEO
The review of Fall in Love Video, one of D’Banj’s leading singles on his last album directed by Nigeria Music Video Awards winner for Best Cinematography (2009) - Sesan Ogunro, would sure be a delight to any seasoned professional owing to the story line. He and star actress- Genevieve Nnaji played the lead roles in the video. Their passionate kiss further confirmed that the love birds who started dating not quite long ago are deeply in love.
In the video, D’Banj was having his bath when Genevieve came in to his room and she heard the voice of a lady (Veronica) dropping a message for D’Banj after the phone had rang endlessly. She suspected that D’Banj was cheating on her and gave him no chance to offer any explanation before walking out on him. D’Banj became very worried by her reaction but he made up his mind to resolve the issue.
When Genevieve reported D’Banj’s perceived infidelity to her friend, her friend persuaded her to call D’Banj but he refused to pick. D’Banj immediately sent a message to her friend to help arrange a dinner with Genevieve. The sms read; “PLEASE HELP ME! Get her to meet me for dinner tonight”. Genevieve was persuaded to turn up for dinner without knowing that it was master minded by D’Banj. She got to the venue trying to call her friend but when she sighted D’Banj, her countenance changed immediately and D’Banj apologetically went on his kneels proposing to her with an engagement ring. Genevieve was shocked at the gesture as depicted by the look on her face. D’Banj explained to her that the lady who dropped a message for him – Veronica, as acted by Bola (the winner of the KOKO Mansion reality TV show) was trying to know his movements so that she could drop the engagement ring for him. Veronica’s voice message went thus: “Hi D’banj, this is veronica. Are we still meeting today?” They make up right there and kissed passionately and danced to the song till fade. Yemi Sax made a guest appearance as the saxophonist.
