Popular Nigerian singer, Dapo Oyebanjo, better known as D’banj, has said that though he is happy he got married, he sometimes misses being a bachelor.
He made the comment shortly after being unveiled as a judge on music reality show, Nigerian Idol.
According to D’Banj, he made the decision to settle down because he had reached a point in his life where it was important to have a bestfriend as a partner.
He said; “It is very important for me when I say that I am so happy I got married for the right reason. There are reasons people do certain things and if one does it for the wrong reason, it would affect one. I got to a stage in my life when I needed to grow an empire and in order for one to do that, one has to be stable and have a best friend as a partner. One also has to be true to oneself.
D’Banj, who has never participated in any music reality show, noted that he accepted to be a judge in the competition because he believes in grooming and encouraging talents.
He said; “This is the first time I would be a judge (on a music reality show). I have done several things through the years but this is the first time I would be doing something like this.
“I accepted the offer because first, I am a Nigerian. Secondly, I think there is no better time than now because of the growth of the industry. The growth of the industry is such that it is important for us to embrace what God has given us. This is a journey we have been on for over a decade and we have been accepted globally. That is why it is important to ‘grow’ what is on the ground.”
