Dbanj was supposed to storm and
take
over Zimbabwe last weekend at the Lion Lager
Summer Beer Festival dubbed the "Battle of
Africa" but according to reports from Zimbabwe,
our
man delivered a very lukewarm performancek
that eventually had him booed off stage.
According to AllAfrica, the festival featured
Ugandan
reggae musician Bebe Cool and local dancehall
artistes Winky D, Guspy Warrior and King Shaddy.
D'Banj represented West Africa while Bebe Cool
represented East Africa.
D'Banj was the main attraction and when it was
turn
for him to perform, he exploded onto the stage
amid pomp and zest but soon fizzled out and
slumped into near- Indecency with some fans.
He ran out of steam after exhausting his familiar
songs in less than an hour and went into what
many
revellers described as "hogwash".
His opening song was "Fall in Love", followed by
"Oliver Twist", "Kukere" remix, "Don't Tell Me
Nonsense", "Igwe" and "Why Me". Then he lost
the
plot.
Neither his scantily dressed dancers nor his swag
was
enough to sway the majority of the crowd that
became
visibly restless and disappointed.
So disappointing was his performance that he
resorted
to X-rated antics with ladies he calls "Kokolates"
on
the stage, in a bid to kill time.
Among the "Kokolates" was songstress Ammara
Brown, who jumped on stage and joined in the
dirty
dancing.
"Let me see all my Kokolates on stage, now
shake
your boom boom and do the catwalk," he said,
amid
boos from the crowd, especially men.
Some disgruntled fans hurled insults and
obscenities.
D'Banj failed to impress and was the opposite of
the
Nigerian twins P-Square who performed at the
same
festival last year and left fans asking for more.
P-Square were even barred from leaving the stage
by
fans who craved for more.
"This guy should not have been the main act at
the
show. He has a few hit songs we know that he
has
performed. Now look at how he is whiling up the
remaining time with the ladies," said a fan in the
crowd.
