Genevieve Romances D’Banj, Features In ‘Fall In Love’ Video
If the recent story making rounds in the Nigerian entertainment clan, is any thing to go by, Dapo Oyebanji a.k.a D’Banj and A List Nollywood actress Genevieve Nnaji have been in secret romance for quite some time now and have not hidden their affection for one another.
According to our source, the self acclaimed Koko Master was smitten with the sexy actress beauty crooner and even featured her in the video of one of his songs, “Fall In Love” where at the shoot he expressed his love for her both in the video and real life. It was also gathered that since then the duo have been seen together in several events.
Prior to this time, the hip hop Gooner had been allegedly linked with the likes of Mercy Johnson, Munachi Abii, Funke Akindele and a host of others which he debunked, but with Genevieve he is letting the whole world know that he has finally found real love and like a man in love, he is not shying away from singing it on the mountain tops that he is in love with the former face of Lux.
Genevieve on her part is said to be also in love with D’Banj, but is not too expressive of it the way D’Banj is going. Our source stressed that this may probably be as a result of the bad publicity her past affairs had generated.
It was also revealed that the screen diva and mother of one is taking things easy though she sees D’Banj quite often whenever her schedule permits. They have been attending events together and have been seen in high profile functions recently and they have left no one in doubt of their affection for one another.
