Nigerian musician Dbanj’s dream apparently came true after he won the MAMA Evolution award at the recently concluded MTV Africa Music Awards.
Dbanj beat a host of top African music stars to the prestigious award who included; 2Face Idibia (Nigeria), Anselmo Ralph (Angola), Asa (Nigeria), Black Coffee (South Africa), Chameleone (Uganda), Fally Ipupa (DRC), HHP (South Africa), P-Square (Nigeria) and Samini (Ghana).
While accepting the award, Dbanj could not hide his excitement as he narrated how his erstwhile friend and producer Don Jazzy always told him he would one day be the youngest living African legend.
He re-echoed the sentiments in a Facebook post that read: “Me and my brother.. I remember 11 years ago , you Wanted me to be the ‘youngest Living AFrican Legend’ and I wanted you to be ‘Biggest African Producer’… We Did it Bro. Dreams do Come true.”
The MAMA Evolution award honoured an established artiste who has made an indelible mark on African and global music culture.
