This new video from D’Banj has been on TV for a few days now. We had been hoping that a clearer version would hit the net soon but since it hasnt, we’ll just have to do with what we have. *Updated*
Check on it! D’Banj – Kimon
I like this song…i ain’t trying to hate…but dude wasn’t there a cute Naija chick that could be used on the video?????why is he telling this noassatall white chick to “wa gba”…. i don’t get it!!!!!*hiss*
KMT – NONSENSE i’ve never liked this man anyway but so what our nigerian brothers are telling us black women is that – when they hit the big time – they will drop us and move forward with a white chick. I thought only stupid illeterate english footballers did this – whats even sadder about this is that they can’t say they grew up around these white women.
so what they are now saying is that to have a classy video one must dump the black chicks that got them the recognition when they were coming up and use “classy” girl as in white women.
sorry to bring this up again but i am really shocked that dbanj is doing this. lat time i checked it was his naija sisters that attend his concerts – its a shame
I never liked him as well for my ‘feminist’ reasons… I don’t care if white folk are ‘racist/prejudiced’ but when its one of our brothers, that sucks. This has become the pattern of Dbanj videos, either when he uses black girls they look like complete skanks or he throws in a white chick unrelated to the song which is in yoruba like in Gbono feli feli (unless of course she is naturalized Nigerian, hehe).
How do I explain to my American friends that Nigeria is not that multiracial? The black ones just think that we have a colour complex.
but really, would you actually call this girl white she is obviously mixed race and therefore to a ‘half’ degree black. the video was crap and honestly, the girl no fine at at all. lets not focus on colour pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee
I agree sometimes African artists don’t use enough african girls in their videos. but that’s even with american musicians. most of the times the african-american artists use a lot of hispanic girls rather than the beautiful dark skinned girls. It’s rare, but I CAN’T COMPLAIN. I don’t like how some rappers degrade black women in their videos. So i guess at times i’m okay with them using those type of girls. If those video girls like being portrayed that way then who cares. Let them keep shakin their bum bums
why are you people surprised.
Dbanj’s choice in women even in real life has always been suspect.
you can’t fake some of these things.
all these crap videos coupled with his wack lyrics, his crappiness will soon catch up with him.
you know wat their problem is -insecurity and low self eteem,they feel they will be accepted if they use whte chicks,dont get me wrong i dont have anything against white cos i’ve got some as colleagues n friend,but you know wat our guys need to discover who they truly from the inside…
it’s funny how u say rappers degrade women. the women know what they are signing up for. I think some women should change their priorities. If D’Banj calls for an audition today, you would be surprised how many girls turn up and are willing to do anything to be in that video. But if you call a conference for Female Genital Mutilation, your guess is as good as mine
Surely The girl in this video is mixed race, what’s to say she’s not of Naija or African extraction. Or we are not Black/ Nigerians also ? Pls people sheath ur swords.
Point on! I always have that argument. Because, there are girls dying to be featured, it even becomes a ‘levels’ thing in pageants like “I was the chic in Dbanj’s Suddenly video.” Its priorities. And no one even knows FGM, breast and cervical cancer etc
I like the Dbanj as an artist, he has swag and it comes thru in his music. However I am disappointed that he would prefer to use light skin (call it mixed if you want to) or oyibo women in his video. i always felt that was an American thing, bcos in Yankee the big wigs that run the show feel that Light skin is more attractive so they push it in the videos. I would love to see more beautiful darker toned women featured. Gosh cos when you see a fine dark skinned girl eh,, you have seen a beautiful woman. As far as my prefrence, I prefer all kind, haba i’m still a man. But when you are on tv, you are potraying an image or an idea that many will emulate, you have to set an example. If I was an artist, and even if i no send for dark skinned girls, I would still use them, just to break the mold. We need to “emancipate ourselves from mental slavery”
i personally just wish they would hire a video concept creator and not always do videos for songs that have to do with chasing one fine girl or a group of girls just prancing around… why cant he do video for celebrate… an uplifting song….ehn sesan????
leave all that talk.
Dross is ruling the scene at present.
That is the sole reason why Dbanjand his type is on top.
coupled with the fact that the dude is a serious hustler.
He knows his limitations and is playing to his strength and musical talent is not one of them.
1 billion mark in sales indeed!!
you and him must be high on same stuff.
can’t you tell hype from reality?
Maybe d’banj has a better chemistry with the ‘white chicks’. Abi? He might have his reasons, maybe cost wise, attitude??? lots of things. Ok, d’banj no send me o, just my thoughts (LOL).
whats all the fuss about using a black girl for the video, its not like he used paris hilton or any blond bimbo then u ‘ll have a reason to complain this girl could even be a full nigerian or mixed race anyway on the whole this video is ok but not great dbanj could have done better, forward ever abi?
ma point being: wateva sells, PRODUCE!
dere’s no point makin quality songs n videos alike n only a handful r enjoyin it, if u feel its WACK, STOP WATCHIN, artiste’s will get d msg!
another video? REALLY?
even before clicking on it, i knew.
im not surprised anymore.
naija girls are just TOO DAMN UGLY to sell videos.
im not saying i dont have confidence, as EGGONE would say, but these artist are saying it with their own music videos.
naija girls are just too ugly, so they have to show off their wealth and “accomplishment” by using white women.
yawn yawn.
AND WHO DO THESE ARTIST THINK ARE BUYING THEIR MUSIC? WHITES?
THEY BETTER THINK AGAIN.
if all naija peeps stop supporting this rubbish they would ALL be out of business and back to square one/the drawing board.
i don tire for these LAME naija aritst, thinking they have to sell out to look good.
*HISSS*
I couldn’t agree more – ok the girl is mixed race but like you are white people buying his music? no so why sell out. anyway i don’t like him and i don’t like men who think they are too fine – he ain’t all that!!
The sooner these men come stop this “white is right” mentality the better. Does Jay sean put white girls in his video? No he uses indian women – from the start of his career to now he has hit big time in america. and here we have our naija brothers selling out cos they sell a few records………………..delusions of grandeur if you ask me.
yes oooooo
na true talk.
these naija people sef, i can almost write a whole essay on what ive gathered, including the opposing view points (eggone)
sha…
when will Nigerians WAKE UP!!!
STOP SLUMBERING!
Na wa o! If Dskibanj likes he can use whites, green, brown or purole ladies for his videos, I no send. My issue is that Don Jazzy needs to learn how to marry a song with a video. Nuffin wey make sense dey dat video. Infact swagger babu!
im a d’banj fan, but this vid is just ok, step it up 9ja
Songs hotttt, video’s wack
I like this song…i ain’t trying to hate…but dude wasn’t there a cute Naija chick that could be used on the video?????why is he telling this noassatall white chick to “wa gba”…. i don’t get it!!!!!*hiss*
honestly,i love dbanj,but this video is just not it
Another WTH? video! *Rolls eyes*
As much as i llllllllooove D’banj, i video is straight up garbage….*sigh* MO’hits do something with you videos puulleeze!! damn…

i think black chicks arent in the videos because the fine ones arent gonna prance around in their underwear on camera.. i sure as hell wont!
but really, would you actually call this girl white she is obviously mixed race and therefore to a ‘half’ degree black. the video was crap and honestly, the girl no fine at at all. lets not focus on colour pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee
that girl is black….what’s wrong representing all shades of black people?

D’banj could do a duet with Whitney Houston just like our Tubaba aka Tuface did with Mary Jane Blige. Anything’s possible
