D’banj announces joint tour with 2Baba, Timaya

Nigerian music star, D’banj, has confirmed plans for a joint music tour with fellow Afrobeats veterans, 2Baba and Timaya.
The singer made the disclosure during a recent interview with Adesope Live in London, United Kingdom.
D’banj, known for his hit track Oliver Twist, reflected on the global growth of Afrobeats, highlighting how the genre has evolved from a West African sound in the early 2000s and 2010s into a global music movement.
He attributed the genre’s success not only to the commitment of artists and music executives but also to the strong support from the African diaspora.
“I was speaking with Timaya the other day and he said, ‘Banger, it’s okay, you’ve entrepreneur enough. It’s time to come out.’ And I said the same thing. I’m speaking to 2Face as well. 2Face was telling me, let’s go on a tour together,” D’banj said.
“We have myself, 2Face and Timaya. We have great bodies of work. Because of how our industry is, there is a big market for everyone. So, yes, we will be going on a tour.”
He also revealed that he and 2Baba are preparing to release a new song titled Feeling Good, which will likely accompany the upcoming tour.
D’banj noted that the tour will serve as a way of appreciating fans who have supported them over the years, saying it will be themed around gratitude for two decades of music.
He added, “Now everybody is Afrobeats, everybody is African. But I remember when in this London it was not that great for you to say you are a Nigerian. We all wanted to be Jamaicans… Today, there’s no UK film where our music isn’t featured. So, kudos not just to the creatives but to the entire African community.”
