6. In response to questions about his interview in support of President Goodluck Jonathan in 2011, D’Banj vehemently denied suggestions that he had been paid for the interview. He stated that he had himself requested the interview, and that he felt that it was the right thing for him to do as a man and a citizen of Nigeria. He admitted that he had been paid, but for his work as a musician. He felt that the backlash he received at that time was unfortunate, as he was put through “heat, fire and hell”. He would not be tied down to answering whether he would do the same again this time round, as he is “unavailable” right now and travels a lot.
7. The conversation between D’Banj and Olisa became very heated when Olisa started questioning D’Banj on the state of his career since ‘Oliver Twist’, and it seemed that a ‘raw nerve’ had been touched.
8. He strongly denied allegations that he did not write ‘Top of the World’ and said it was a big hit which he really loves. He questioned Olisa on who determines what makes a big hit anyway, and if his show is The Lie not The Truth.
