D’Banj Insults Fans
Despite the problems encountered before getting to the show venue, D’banj who recently put up a flopped show on the Island was said to have insulted his fans. His woeful performance aside, many of his fans, who stayed awake all night to see him perform at the concert and those watching the live stream of the event on NdaniTV, said D’banj’s worst blunder of the night was when he said: “The people wey pay me money na dis side dem dey” (those that paid me are on this side) while apologising to those at the VVIP section of the concert for below-par arrangement made for them.
At a point, he even asked those at the popular and VIP sections to apologise to those at the VVIP for the inconvenience they suffered. Fans at the popular section and VIP paid N5,000 and N20,000 respectively.
Many of his fans who felt insulted reacted sharply:
“Disgusting that he only keeps apologising to VVIP. The 5K ticket holders are the real fans and the ones promoting his music. Shame:’ said a fan tweeting from @Rebljade. “D’banj needs to stop acting the fool with this VVIP thing. So rude!” said @EniolaHundeyin . “And he had the nerve to ask the 5k & 20k people to aplogise to the VVIPs.
I say it, the concert was an allegory for Nigeria as a whole”, said Tala Sarumi tweeting from @AfroVII.
“Only in naija (Nigeria} you pay for something and still get insulted. Customer appreciation? Absolute zero,” said a fan tweeting from @kennagq “Call me a hater but D’banj is too big of an artist to be putting out mediocre shows like that!!
