D’banj has opened up about the most difficult period of his life, stating that losing his son was the moment he realized even “superheroes” have a breaking point. He revealed that the pain of this loss was far greater than his professional breakup with Don Jazzy, which “did not move him at all.”
On the MIC ON PODCAST, the entertainer explained that he had always seen himself as a superhero, but this tragedy broke him completely. He shared that he and his wife left Nigeria and lived in three different countries until they found restoration, a process that ultimately strengthened his faith and made him a better person.
D’banj said: “Losing my child was a low one. That’s the first time I actually knew that Superman has kryptonite. Even the breakup did not move me at all. In fact, I wasn’t even around to even feel the moving. I was so much on the road and I was so focused. And so when I got back to town, it was just, what’s happening? But losing my son, that was actually when I said, what is going on? I always know that I’m a superhero. I always say that. But when you watch those superhero movies, you know that when the guy is going, they touch him, they can’t touch him until they just touch his love, and he’ll go down. So I think that was major for me because just before that, we had received the valuation from KPMG for CREAM. It was about a year and a half old then. We already had a clear vision, we were already speaking to investors, we were almost even done. But when that happened, it was as if I lost everything. And I just went to God. I focused on God. I focused on my family, my wife, and I just said, God, give me restoration. And that’s it. I prayed and it took me deeper. I think it opened my eyes to knowing that yes, I know that I got you, but are you fully leaving everything for me? And I said yes. But I said, God, give me restoration. And he gave me, and now I have a wonderful boy and I have a wonderful girl, and I’m like, wow. And I understand life better and I understand God better, and I’m a better person…..See More
