With the release of his latest single, Tobari, featuring South Africa’s DJ Maphorisa and Nigeria’s DJ Obi, the veteran entertainer reasserts his relevance in the evolving Afrobeats scene, blending signature charm with renewed creative fire.

Tobari delivers the infectious energy fans have come to expect from D’banj, yet with an unmistakably modern sound. The track is rhythmic and vibrant, designed for movement and celebration, evoking memories of earlier hits like Oliver Twist and Fall in Love while speaking to the present with a refined sonic edge.

Coming on the heels of his collaborative album The Entertainer: The Sequel—a project that featured continental powerhouses like Youssou N’Dour and Awilo Longomba Tobari extends the narrative of an artist still pushing boundaries.

With over half a million monthly Spotify listeners, D’banj makes it clear he’s not merely basking in past glory but actively shaping the soundscape of today’s African music.

What makes this new single stand out is how effortlessly it fuses D’banj’s iconic sound with current trends. Rather than chasing fleeting popularity, he taps into his vast experience to craft something timeless yet fresh. The result is a track that speaks to both longtime fans and the newer generation tuning into Afrobeats.

The production on Tobari is polished and assertive, showcasing the combined strength of DJ Maphorisa’s sonic versatility and DJ Obi’s sharp musical instincts.

Layered with D’banj’s unmistakable vocal swag, the track builds on decades of musical mastery while feeling right at home in the current climate of global Afrobeats influence.

More than just a comeback moment, Tobari solidifies D’banj’s status as a mainstay in African pop culture. He doesn’t return as a legend seeking nostalgia but as an active voice in today’s conversation, commanding respect not just for his history but for his continued evolution.

In a time when many legacy acts are fading into the background, D’banj remains a dynamic force proof that longevity in music is as much about adaptability as it is about talent. With Tobari, he once again delivers what the culture needs: confidence, charisma, and music that moves both body and spirit.

Speaking on a recent podcast, DJ Obi pointed to the 2015 remix of Wizkid’s “Ojuelegba” featuring Skepta and Drake as a defining moment in Afrobeats history. According to him, the collaboration served as a breakthrough that introduced African music to a wider international audience.

“Skepta did a lot for Afrobeats. I don’t think we give him his flowers and respect,” Obi remarked, stressing that while Nigerian artists were already thriving locally, it took global allies like Skepta to help bridge the gap to overseas markets.

He further explained that Skepta’s influence in the UK music scene and his support for Wizkid laid the groundwork for Drake’s involvement, leading to one of the genre’s first major crossovers and setting a precedent for future collaborations.

“When there was need for help to cross over, certain people stood up. And Skepta was one of those people,” Obi emphasized, noting that the move went beyond music and symbolized cultural representation and global access.

While he acknowledged the relentless work of Nigerian artists in building Afrobeats, DJ Obi maintained that contributors like Skepta played key behind-the-scenes roles and should be celebrated as part of the genre’s success story.

Award-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy was recently spotted celebrating Indigenous rapper Phyno’s birthday at a popular Lagos nightclub owned by DJ Obi.

Joining him in the festivities was fellow artist Flavour, as they enjoyed the night in honor of Phyno, whose real name is Chibuzo Nelson Azubuike Ezege.

In a video circulating online, Burna Boy and Flavour can be seen having a great time, dancing to various tracks while serenading Phyno. Fast-rising star Fave was also seen joining in the fun, enthusiastically singing and dancing along to the music.

The footage of Burna Boy enjoying the celebration with Flavour and Phyno emerges amid reports that the “Higher” singer allegedly played a role in the arrest of US-based Nigerian artist Speed Darlington.

According to reports on October 8, Speed Darlington has been missing for three days, prompting speculation that Burna Boy may be involved.

These rumors followed a recent post by Burna Boy and report that he filed a petition, resulting in Speed Darlington’s detention by the police.

The arrest stems from a video in which Speed Darlington accused Burna Boy of engaging in inappropriate activities with American rapper P. Diddy, claiming that Burna’s rise to global fame was linked to his meeting with Diddy.

Despite the ongoing controversy, Burna Boy appeared unfazed as he enjoyed the night, partying with Flavour and Phyno, smiling throughout the event.

The biggest lie of 2022 is when I heard that BURNA BOY tried to talk to another man’s woman. That was where that whole story lost me. There is no woman born of a woman that has that privilege. And not even once but THREE times?! FAT LIE!

Rapper, Ycee has taken to social media to complain over the absence of rappers from the lineup of Rick Ross Live in Lagos COncert.

The Maybach Music Group executive returned to Nigeria for the show tagged ‘Rick Ross Live In Lagos’ after his first trip in 2012.

He had stormed Lagos for the Summer Jam Fest 2012 concert.

He also seized the opportunity to shoot an alternate video for his ‘Hold Me Back’ song which immediately went viral.

He took to a slum in Lagos where he was seen spraying children dollars.

The Lagos concert took place on Thursday at Eko Hotel and Suites will feature popular artists including Davido, Tiwa Savage, Mayorkun, DJ Obi, The Cavemen, Fave, and DJ Yin among others

However, Rapper, Ycee wasn’t too pleased over the absence of rappers on the lineup.

Stating that his complaint wasn’t about him as he hasn’t put out rap music for quite a while, he called out the decision for organizers to host Rick Ross who is a rapper in Lagos and yet not include Nigerian rappers on the lineup.

According to him, this is one of the factors why Nigerian rappers are switching their sound and doing more of singing instead of rapping.

“Bruh this ain’t even about me cos I haven’t put out rap music in a while but how do you have a Rick Ross show in Nigeria and not have ONE SINGLE NIGERIAN RAPPER ON THE LINE UP???
And tomorrow you wanna come on twitter and ask why rappers are switching genres ????”

A fan advised him that he could have made one surprise entry and performance nobody will stop him, and that he could have performed Jagban which will make Rick Ross bow to him.
